Perhaps the most widely-loved and hilarious of Gilbert and Sullivan’s Savoy Operas, this classic production by Opera Australia creates a fantastical, imaginary Japan. With amazingly detailed sets, lavish costumes and a fabulous cast astutely directed by Stuart Maunder, this comic operetta sparkles from beginning to end. The music is pure joy, with an amazing performance drawn from Orchestra Victoria by the superb conductor Brian Castles-Onion.

‘Kanen Breen is particularly good as the wandering minstrel Nanki-Poo, handsome, light-hearted and slightly dippy.  Taryn Fiebig…is delicious as his beloved Yum-Yum…this production retains its lovely feeling of genuine Victoriana.  It is as satisfying as a wet Sunday afternoon spent in front of an open fire, toasting muffins and sipping tea.’ - Herald Sun
