Frequent Opera New Jersey Stage Director Michael Scarola (2008: La Cenerentola, 2007: The Pirates of Penzance) returns to stage our first summer production in the Matthews Theatre.

The Mikado

By William S. Gilbert & Sir Arthur Sullivan

Performances at McCarter's Matthews Theatre:
July 12m, 17 & 25, 2009

Three little maids from school, a hilariously pompous government official, a wandering minstrel and a Lord High Executioner… These are just some of the colorful characters inhabiting Gilbert & Sullivan’s most famous operetta. Beautiful schoolgirl Yum-Yum is engaged to Ko-Ko the executioner, although she falls in love with the romantic minstrel Nanki-Poo. In typical Gilbert & Sullivan fashion, complications emerge, merriment ensues and all is satisfactorily resolved.

The Mikado will be presented in English with English surtitles projected above the stage.
