The Savoy Company presents The Mikado
Join The Savoy Company in our Gardens and experience the enduring joy of The Mikado—Gilbert and Sullivan’s most popular work since its premiere in 1885.
The Savoy Company’s fresh, creative revisioning of this classic show, presented in partnership with the Japan America Society of Greater Philadelphia, the Japanese American Citizens League Philadelphia Chapter, provides an opportunity for audiences to enjoy this masterwork of comedic and musical genius through the modern lens of the 1960s. By updating makeup, costumes, staging, and portions of the libretto with aesthetics and terminology that reflects a more modern feel, this topsy-turvy production is sure to fill every heart with joy.
Before the performance, join us for a talk about how this classic comedic opera was revisioned for a modern audience. The Talkback sessions with the creative team behind The Mikado will be Friday 5/30 and Saturday 5/31 from 5:00pm - 6:00pm in The Visitor Center Auditorium.
