EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph print, sourced from Mary Evans Picture Library, transports us back in time to the world premiere of Gilbert and Sullivan's iconic opera, "The Mikado," first produced in 1885. The image features three delightful young women, dressed in the traditional attire of Japanese schoolgirls, holding music sheets as they prepare to perform a scene from the production. "The Mikado," a satirical work set in ancient Japan, was a groundbreaking collaboration between the renowned librettist W.S. Gilbert and composer Arthur Sullivan. The opera's success helped establish the partnership between the two men, who went on to create a series of popular works together known as the Savoy Operas. The three little maids in this photograph are a charming representation of the many colorful characters that populate the opera. Their youthful energy and enthusiasm are palpable as they eagerly prepare to sing and dance for the audience. The music sheets they clutch in their hands are a testament to the meticulous attention to detail that went into every aspect of the production. This photograph offers a unique glimpse into the historical context of "The Mikado" and the world of Gilbert and Sullivan. It invites us to imagine the excitement and anticipation that filled the theater on the night of the premiere, as audiences were introduced to this innovative and enduring work of art. The intricate costumes, the beautiful music, and the witty dialogue of "The Mikado" continue to captivate audiences around the world, more than a century after its first performance. This photograph serves as a reminder of the rich history and enduring legacy of this beloved opera, and the many moments of joy and wonder it has brought to generations of theatergoers.
