EDITORS COMMENTS
This enchanting photograph captures a moment from the original production of Gilbert and Sullivan's classic comic opera, "The Mikado," at the Savoy Theatre in London in 1885. The image features an array of colorful characters from the production, including (from left to right) Mr. R. Temple as The Mikado, Mr. Durward Lely as Nanki-Pooh, Miss Brandram as Katisha, Mr. R. Barrington as Pooh-Bah, Misses Sibyl Grey, L. Braham, and Jessie Bond as The Three Little Maids from School, Mr. G. Grossmith as Ko-Ko, Miss L.Braham as Yum-Yum, and Mr. F.Bovill as Pish-Tush. The Mikado, a satirical take on Japanese culture, was a groundbreaking production in the history of musical theatre. Its innovative blend of comedy, music, and opera, along with its elaborate costumes and sets, made it an instant hit with audiences. In this photograph, we see the performers in their full regalia, with Mr. Temple donning an ornate kimono as The Mikado, and the ladies adorned in traditional Japanese fan outfits. The actors bring to life the whimsical characters of this beloved opera, with Mr. Lely's Nanki-Pooh and Miss Brandram's Katisha creating a striking contrast to the playful antics of Ko-Ko, Yum-Yum, and their mischievous maids. The image captures the essence of the performance, with the actors in mid-action, adding to the overall sense of excitement and energy. This photograph is a testament to the enduring appeal of "The Mikado" and the legacy of the Savoy Theatre, which continues to be a hub of innovative and groundbreaking productions. It offers a glimpse into the past, allowing us to appreciate the history and artistry of this iconic work and the talented performers who brought it to life over a century ago.
