CAMBRIDGE AMATEUR OPERATIC SOCIETY PRESENTS
THE MIKADO
Gilbert and Sullivan
Cambridge Operatic Society return to the Arts Theatre with a brand new adaptation of Gilbert and Sullivan’s immortal classic.
On the day before the opening of a radical new exhibition by the artist, Katisha, madness reigns in the Titipu Wing of the Mikado's fantastical art gallery. Paintings come to life, tourists break into song, and gallery attendants threaten execution to keep order, as the penniless student Nanki-Poo fights to win the hand of Ko-Ko's ward, Yum-Yum.
With a superb musical score featuring some of Gilbert and Sullivan’s best-loved songs – including ‘Three Little Maids From School Are We’ – The Mikado has charmed and entertained audiences for over 100 years. In their centenary year CAOS bring a fresh new perspective to this timeless classic.
