AboutWGO presents G&S's hilarious The Mikado

     Heads will roll, hearts will race and your sides will split from laughter as Wichita Grand Opera opens the curtain on its production of Gilbert and Sullivan's most popular comic opera, The Mikado, November 7 & 8 at Century II!

     Join us in the small town of Titipu, as the executioner must figure out how to take his own head, a prince in disguise hides from the amorous pursuit of a royal “cougar”, and the fearsome Mikado rules over all. The “simple life” was never less so than in this hilarious comic Opera, which when it opened, it ran for 672 consecutive performances at London's famous Savoy Theater.

     Tickets are still available in all three price categories. Call 316.262.8054 and be ready to be on the edge of your seat... in laughter.

AboutAbout Us

     The Wichita Grand Opera is pleased to annouce its dazzling eighth season for 2009-2010, and it offers something for everyone to enjoy. Season subscriptions are currently on sale with a choice of three plans. General Director Parvan Bakardiev says, “This season will be filled with some of the great classics of Opera and ballet, with six productions featuring a perfect blend of comedy, drama, romance and grace.” Here is the spectacular lineup:

Ukrainian National Dance Co. My Ukraine! – October 10, 2009
Gilbert & Sullivan’s The Mikado – November 7 & 8, 2009
Gaetano Donizetti’s Elixir of Love – February 13 & 14, 2010
Giuseppe Verdi’s Rigoletto – January 15, 2010
Georges Bizet’s Carmen – March 27, 2010
Leo Delibes’s ballet Coppélia – April 27, 2010

     The season opens in October with the high spirited 80 dancers of the My Ukraine!. Back by popular demand in November is the crazy Gilbert and Sullivan opera about the endearing hearts that run afoul in the hilarious The Mikado. Then in January is the heart wrenching opera about the wrath of a vengeful father in Verdi’s Rigoletto. For Valentine’s Day we offer you the romantic comedy where a love potion collides with true love in Donizetti’s Elixir of Love. In March it’s the seductive and fiery romantic tragedy of Bizet’s Carmen. And to conclude the season, is the classical ballet about a doll so real it can reunite two broken hearts in Delibes’ Coppélia.
