"What makes this production work so well is its concise, authentic insistence on the underlying sting in the parody."

Opera della Luna's 30th Anniversary celebrations continue with a revival of the company's legendary production of The Mikado. The production will open at the Theatre Royal Bath, who commissioned the revival before moving on to Wilton's Music Hall, Salisbury Playhouse and other theatres yet to be announced.

OdL's Mikado is set in the zany sparkling world of modern fashion houses. With costumes inspired by Versace and Jean-Paul Gautier, it promises a riot of gorgeous and bizarre creations. Sequins, stunning gowns, glorious singing, and of course, the company’s inimitable brand of mad-cap humour.

Like all OdL’s work, the show is performed with a cast of eight multi-talented singer/actors, no chorus, and the company’s own ten-piece orchestral ensemble.

Directed by Jeff Clarke, conducted by Michael Waldron, choreographed by Jenny Arnold, designed by Gabriella Csanyi-Wills.
