Gilbert and Sullivan’s glorious opera is coming to your local cinema, direct from the London Coliseum

ENO Screen is set to broadcast The Mikado live from the London Coliseum on Thursday 3 December at 7.30pm in cinemas across the UK and Ireland.

The event follows the record-breaking success of live screenings across the UK and Ireland of Mike Leigh’s The Pirates of Penzance, live screenings of The Barber of Seville, Carmen, La Traviata, the award-winning Peter Grimes and Terry Gilliam’s production of Berlioz’s Benvenuto Cellini,

Jonathan Miller’s hilarious production of the Gilbert & Sullivan classic returns to the London Coliseum, for its 14th revival and will celebrate its 200th performance on 6 December 2015. With its Marx Brother’s inspired song-and-dance take on Gilbert & Sullivan, Miller’s production has long been a hit with theatre-goers of all ages.  

This iconic ENO production of Gilbert & Sullivan’s ‘Japanese’ satire takes the story out of the tiny oriental town of Titipu and sets it in the faintly seedy grandeur of a 1930s English hotel – the perfect place for lampooning targets much closer to home.

Full of high-kicking chorus lines, satirical touches and a wonderfully elegant score it tells the tale of Nanki-Poo and his love for Yum Yum. There’s just one snag. She’s betrothed to Ko-Ko, the new Lord High Executioner. And he needs someone to execute otherwise it’s his own head on the block. Perhaps Ko-Ko and Nanki-Poo can come to some arrangement, without anyone losing their head?
