The Mikado Returns to the King's Head Theatre Thru March 4
Charles Court Opera's new production of The Mikado returns to the King's Head Theatre for a limited run of eight performances.
CCO's About the show: "A sharp satire of 19th century British politics and institutions, set in the fictitious Japanese town of Titipu, The Mikado is one of the most enduringly popular musical theatre pieces in history. Under director John Savournin, Charles Court Opera gives this all-time favourite a fresh and ambitious re-working sung by an ensemble of nine singers, with the orchestral score re-arranged and performed by the widely acclaimed Eaton-Young Piano Duo."
This revival returns to the King's Head Theatre following the 2011 run.
Charles Court Opera was formed in 2005 by John Savournin as a platform for young talent in opera, operetta and music theatre. Six years after their first production, CCO has produced over twenty operas, musicals and pantomimes, and numerous concert performances around the world - in venues ranging from pub theatres to the National Concert Hall in Dublin.
Unique to the company is their collaboration with Park Lane Young Artists the Eaton-Young Piano
Duo, who arrange the orchestral scores complete for piano four hands or two pianos, thereby allowing performances in venues previously inaccessible for grand opera and operetta and introducing them to wider audiences without having to compromise the musical substance.
