The Mikado (1996)
After All It Is A Comedy
Great Entertainment, Fun For All Ages.
Ever tried taking teenagers to an Opera??? This bring youth and culture together, showing that a bunch of men wearing strange, not 100% what i would call Japanese style clothes, yet the story of the Mikado is still there, It's interesting, and Funny, It's a comedy, not a straight opera though there are still the vitals there.
In the recording, People have criticized about lacking in performance and over-doing comical scenes, I found nothing wrong with there performance, i feel they are all still pumped and giving a great show. If some people say this it may be due to the time when the Video/DVD was filmed as it was late in the New Zealand run. But I saw it live and they were just brilliant and i see every aspect of that in the DVD.
H.M.S. Pinafore (1997)
Brilliant Comedy
JUST BRILLIANT!!!
Not only have i seen this Video/DVD, i have seen HMS Pinafore(1998), The Mikado(1996) and The Pirate of Penzance twice(1994 and (2000), LIVE in Sydney, Australia.
The Essgee Entertainment of Queensland, Australia, Is a brilliant. They put together a brilliant group of Actors and Actresses for all performances. The group bring Comedy and Opera (well more a musical than opera) together in harmony.
The story is still the same as Gillbert and Sullivan First wrote it. There are no cut, just enhancements.
10/10 from me, A Great remade "Opera"
