	MikVersion
		Mikado's video quickly was selling at a pace equal to Pirates as the public was hungry for the next installment to take home.
		Gallaher was delighted with The Mikado and was gratified particularly with its success in New Zealand as he essentially had succeeded in staging Part Two (or the sequel in Australia) as the leader in the other country with Pirates and Pinafore to follow in very big footsteps.
		Mikado finally closed in Perth in August 1996 (a longer season and more performances than Pirates) where the entire cast transferred the following day to commence rehearsals for a new (and now sequel) Pirates season in New Zealand.

	Opera - The Mikado
		Nanki-Poo, son of the Mikado, is pursued by Katisha, an elderly lady with matrimonial intentions.
		A damper is put on the happy plans of Ko-Ko, however, by a message from the Mikado, informing him that His Majesty is struck by the fact that no executions have taken place in Titipu in the past year and that unless somebody is beheaded within a month, the executioner will be degraded.
		The Mikado comes unexpectedly, and when he sees the statement, instead of praising Ko-Ko, threatens him with terrible things because he has killed the heir apparent.

		The Mikado is interesting in all respects, and it has allowed me to measure where my reference player stands in relation to the best.
		Though it was wonderful with delicate and textured sounds, the Mikado’s somewhat polite nature limited its ability to recreate the bold and the powerful piano.
		The Mikado’s missing dynamics just seemed unimportant, and a more than reasonable tradeoff for its gorgeous, digital-free sound The Sony was close to the Mikado when I used its fourth digital filter setting, but not all the way there.

		Although Webber, who directed "The Mikado" in college, calls this a traditional production on an elaborate Japanese set by technical director Tony Zandol, she admits this definitely is different.

		The Mikado is a good example of the Victorian era's craze for anything that was Japanese (Japanese knickknacks and home decor were huge sellers during the time), and a popular legend is that Gilbert was inspired to write the opera when a Japanese sword fell off of his wall.
		The Mikado is perhaps the most popular of all Gilbert and Sullivan's operettas, and includes the popular tunes "Three Little Maids From School", "A Wandering Minstrel, I" and "I've Got A Little List".
