The Mikado

Opera della Luna returns to The Lowry with its most colourful and popular production ever: The Mikado.

This astonishing and inventive company have achieved nation-wide recognition for their innovative and energetic shows. Their 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.

"I can't wait to see what this inspired company will do to Gilbert and Sullivan next." Manchester Evening News

"Jeff Clarke's vivacious production is delightful. Mischievous and witty, and the outfits have all the razzle-dazzle of Versace". Financial Times
