There are just three perfromances left of THE MIKADO at the Freeport Performing Arts Center. Set in the fictional Japanese village of Titipu, Gilbert & Sullivan's comic opera satirizes aspects of British society, culture and manners circa 1860 that have remarkable parallels to modern-day American society.
