EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph transports us back to the vibrant and eclectic nightlife of Berlin in the 1920s, as we witness a scene from Gilbert and Sullivan's beloved operetta, The Mikado, unfold on the stage of the renowned Schauspielhause Theatre. The image, captured in 1927, exudes an undeniable charm and energy, as the jazz-infused production comes to life before a delighted audience. The Mikado, a classic work of the Victorian era, was given a new lease of life in the 1920s Berlin theatre scene, where it was reimagined with contemporary flair. In this production, the traditional Japanese setting is transformed by the fusion of Eastern and Western influences that defined the era. The actors, dressed in a mix of Japanese and 1920s attire, bring a fresh and playful energy to the production. The stage is bathed in a warm, golden light, creating an intimate and inviting atmosphere. The orchestra, hidden from view, plays a lively jazz score, adding an unexpected yet delightful twist to the classic operetta. The audience, dressed in their finest evening wear, are fully immersed in the performance, their laughter and applause filling the theatre. This photograph is a testament to the innovative and boundary-pushing nature of the Berlin theatre scene in the 1920s, where traditional forms of entertainment were reimagined and reinvigorated to suit the modern age. The Mikado, once a staple of Victorian theatre, was given new life in this vibrant and eclectic city, becoming a beloved part of the Berlin nightlife scene.
