An Evening of Opera: The Mikado

  • London Coliseum St Martin’s Lane WC2N 4ES (map)

Come join us for an evening of opera, drinks and backstage tour at the London Coliseum. Meet alumni members from Wharton, Penn, and other Ivy league clubs. Meet Dr Harry Brünjes, Chairman of ENO, and hear about his involvement and journey to successfully turn around this world-renowned organisation.

The Mikado is one of most famous and best-loved of Gilbert and Sullivan‘s operettas.  Directed by Jonathan Miller and boasting a memorable score, this is a tale that proves resoundingly apt for our moment in time, while remaining wonderfully farcical. It is a dazzlingly inventive one packed full of memorable melodies and celebrated moments.

The show premiered at London's Savoy Theatre in 1885. it is frequently performed around the world today.

Presented by the English National Opera, co-production with Houston Grand Opera and LA Opera.
