Virginia Opera

Norfolk, VA

Dorothy Byrne: Katisha

“Topsy-turvy” is what to expect from those geniuses of comic opera, Gilbert and Sullivan, in their most popular work! Audiences revel in their musical merriment, delicious word-play, ridiculoous plots and wickedly funny skwereing of Victorian society’s pompous denizens. Only in the The Mikado can one be threatened with beheading for flirting! But do not feel too bad for poor Ko-Ko; when his dire predicament turns inot a promotion to Lord High Executioner, many a waxed eyebrow will be raised.  Full of bright music, lively antics and quick wit, The Mikado will only disappoint those looking for tragedy: this time surrender to comedy!  Ticket & Information.
