I really think this is one of the funnier KoKos I've seen.
The production of enjoying the view of the nineteenth-century Japan and England from an equidistant distance is wonderful. Australia is great.
My gosh, this production is sheer brilliance! So engaging for a modern audience. Australia is cracking the code!
This may be my favorite production so far. The reimagining of Katisha as the Red Queen is fabulous.
Very interesting overture. That's a new one for me!
It’s a new one to me as well!
This actually is pretty good. Blending the aesthetics from both Victorian England (when the operetta was written) and Feudal Japan exaggerates the absurdities of the plot.
The Mikado is my all time favourite G&S, thank you so much for this ☺
Finally found it i was looking all over for this i remember in Australia it played on Television on one boxing day between 2013 and 2016 but i cant quite remember the year
Une version originale au niveau musical et de la mise en scène, 😊❤👍👍👍👍👍le loufoque élevé au rang d’art, c’est totalement DADA.
I can't bear to watch this now... both Taryn Fiebig and Jacqui Dark have left us... both of them far too young.
They have a perpetual Gig in Heaven, Where all the Angels sing.
What fun! Groucho Marx was but an addition to an already perfect thing!
Or even more perfect
It's been a few seconds and he's already a likeable character. 23:40
26:08 "Put a band-aid on it"
...Windows on the World was on the 103rd floor of the North tower (1WTC); express elevator to the restaurant and lounge; good food and fantastic views!
Who rewrote the overture? This is definitely not the 'traditional' overture! The differences are particularly evident wherever there is a melodic transition!?
The first overture was compiled under Sullivan's direction, by Hamilton Clarke. This 1962 overture (~arrangement) is by Brit recorder & guitar player Stephen Dodgson (1924-2013).
I thought the same, Unfortunately I wasn't particularly enamoured.....and that is very rare for me to say as I love The Mikado to bits. I have seen D'Oyly Carte 3 times at the Savoy and so many other productions. I even love Essgee Production's version.
The Overture was more of a sequential medley than a structured movement in classical form. Otherwise a fine, fine performance.
The overture was arranged by Stephen Dodgeson for recording by Sadler's Wells conducted by Alexander Faris on Music for Pleasure
This is such a wonderful production…😊
Breathtaking.
My absolute favorite production of one of my favorite G&S operettas. I knew I was in love from the reorchestrated overture. The combination of Japanese and Victorian clothing is brilliant, reflecting the original dicitomy.
Does the actor who played PooBah really look like Sir William Schwenck Gilbert, or is that all makeup?
My one quibble: KoKo is YumYum's guardian, so should look a lot older.
How would be a good way for me to find a download for this recording? -preferably with subtitles
what's up with the overture? it's a bit different
Yes. Did not quite resonate with me
The props from the original have lasted well.
The original overture is far better.
I have been to the G and S festival in Harrogate some years ago and thoroughly enjoyed is, but is it my idea that there is something wrong with the speed of this production ? It feels like the orchestra and the cast are chased by wild dingo’s.
Hahahaha
1:47:48 lol
Too many liberties.
I really don’t like this version
Which is perfectly fine.
This Koko has no elegance. Pure over the top camp. Not my cup of tea!
This sucks
OMG. This is awful. I swear I have seen some of the main actors in another production - especially Ko-Ko but I am really put off by this one. I am sorry, I am.
This breaks my heart, as this was my first Gilbert and Sullivan production, can you elaborate? I don’t judge I would just love to know. As Mitchell Butel( Ko-Ko) I think was brilliant and have followed his career plus rest of the cast on and off since 2011. I was 15 when I first watched, so at nearly 27 would love to know your view.
@@vinylmisfit2165 He's simply saying this production is terrible, to which I completely agree. If you had a chance to watch the 1966 D'Oyly Carte's production (available on youtube) you'll know why. This one is nowhere near the excellence of the D'Oyly Carte's. This entire production just looks like a joke, the acting is way too over-dramatic which I don't think G&S themselves would be happy about.
This one is just terrible and nowhere near the excellence of the D'Oyly Carte's 1966 one. This entire production looks just like a joke - the acting is way too over-dramatic and not at all serious, which put me off completely and I don't think G&S themselves would be happy about this. To name one, why the hell does Nanki-Poo put an weird evil grin on his face during "A wandering mistrel I" that makes him look like a national spy who's trying to do steal something??? Nanki-Poo is supposed to be poetic and romantic, my gosh please take a look at Philip Potter's portrait of this character.
