    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!

    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.

    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.

    Who rewrote the overture? This is definitely not the 'traditional' overture! The differences are particularly evident wherever there is a melodic transition!?

    • @PattyDung
      @PattyDung 11 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      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

    I really think this is one of the funnier KoKos I've seen.

  • @nycbigbear

    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.

    All praise to Gilbert and Sullivan for this masterpiece. But who put together that abortion of an overture? It's only redeeming feature are Sullivan's melodies but whoever did it needs to go back to Composition 1.01 and revise how to orchestrate.

    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.

    The original overture is far better.

    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.

    • @vinylmisfit2165
      @vinylmisfit2165 6 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      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.
