EDITORS COMMENTS
This poster announces the presentation of Gilbert and Sullivan's beloved opera, The Mikado, by the Federal Music Project (FMP) at the Philharmonic Auditorium. The image showcases a serene Japanese tea garden, with a traditional Japanese bridge arching gracefully over a tranquil pond. The garden is adorned with vibrant cherry blossoms and intricately designed lanterns, creating an enchanting atmosphere. The Mikado, first performed in 1885, is a classic work of the Savoy Opera, renowned for its witty libretto and memorable music. The FMP was an essential component of the New Deal's Works Progress Administration (WPA), established in 1935 to provide employment opportunities for artists, musicians, and actors during the Great Depression. The FMP's mission was to bring arts and culture to the American people, making it an ideal platform for the presentation of The Mikado. The Mikado's production by the FMP represents a significant moment in the opera's history, as it allowed the work to be enjoyed by a wider audience during a time when arts and culture were essential for community engagement and morale-boosting. The poster's design, with its intricate details and evocative imagery, effectively conveys the allure and exoticism of the opera, enticing audiences to attend and immerse themselves in the world of The Mikado. This poster is a testament to the enduring appeal of The Mikado and the vital role the FMP played in making the arts accessible to the public during the Depression era. Its beautiful design and historical significance make it a valuable addition to any collection of theatre or opera memorabilia.
