Always a popular favorite, The Mikado was well received and well attended.
We adopted a procenium stage with orchestra in front for this traditional production which featured a painted stage with Japanese flowers and water garden. skillfully created by our scenic painter Martin Jarvis.
Origami swans and lilly pads added to the Oriental feel which was enhanced by the opening Male chorus making origami birds and aeroplane.
A suitably splendidly attired Mikado was greeted by his loyal subjects who lay prostrate before him. The Questors stage had never been cleaner.
