Inhaltsangabe

[English]
The Mikado, arguably the greatest masterpiece among Gilbert and Sullivan's remarkable series of comic operas, remains undiminished in its popularity. This freshly edited publication is based on Sullivan's autograph and the first edition of the full score published two years before the composer's death. Edited by Carl Simpson and Ephraim Hammett Jones, it corrects a large number of errors and incorporates libretto changes made by Gilbert after the original publication.

Reseña del editor

The popular comic opera from Gilbert and Sullivan, The Mikado is set in Imperial Japan and tells the story of Nanki-Poo, a young man banished from his home village who returns after hearing that his love interest’s fiancé, Ko-Ko, is to be executed. However, when he returns to find that Ko-Ko has not only been pardoned, but has also been promoted as the village’s new executioner, Nanki-Poo finds that he is in over his head. One of the most frequently produced operas ever composed, The Mikado remains a comical masterwork that still delights readers and audiences to this day.
