Winter Opera Saint Louis’s season opens in November with W.S. Gilbert & Arthur Sullivan’s operetta "The Mikado" to be performed Friday, November 9th (8pm) and Sunday, November 11th (3pm) at the Skip Viragh Center for the Performing Arts.
Far too much illegal flirting has gone on in the Japanese town of Titipu. Thus, the Mikado (emperor of all) decrees that heads must roll. Nanki-Poo (wandering minstrel and errant son of the Mikado) longs to marry lovely Yum-Yum—but he’s promised to the older (and unpleasant) Katisha! At the same time, Yum-Yum is betrothed to Ko-Ko, the Lord High Executioner! Beheadings, boiling in oil…punishments galore are devised to make “criminals” pay. But fear not—this is a comedy, and you’ll be smiling the moment the curtain rises.
Ages: Recommended for all ages.
