   SynopsisDescribed by critics as "scintillating," "exquisite," and "breathtaking," this version of the famous comic opera was a blockbuster hit at the world-renowned Stratford Festival.

Cloaked in the guise of a Japanese musical drama, The Mikado is a spoof of Victorian English society.Centered on Ko-Ko (Eric Donkin), a lowly tailor, it chronicles his transformation from prisoner in a country jail to the rank of Lord High Executioner.But Ko-Ko is plagued by a terrible quandary: the emperor (Gidon Saks) has instructed him to produce a head -- or forfeit his own!
