If you like this you like it, if you don't you don't. But don't try to demean this version, this has its merits. Personally I love this version, while I admit it isn't very true to the original, who cares. This isn't the original and stands alone from it. I appreciate and enjoy seeing both productions.

satire!satire!satire! That was what G and S was all about, and I am sure they would have loved this,...

If this production had been staged in 1890, yes he would. But if he'd been born a hundred years later, then this is the sort of production he would've staged.

W.S. Gilbert would have been incandescant with rage at this travesty.

Whoa...I didn't even realize I'd replied to my own comment.That makes me look like a douche.Sorry, guys.

His voice scares me a bit-very baritone. and yes, this version is a bit slow-needs more of an upbeat tempo. But to each their own. I peronally enjoy the eric dinkin version of mikado more-was that in '84?

It may not seem appropriate for an opera, but it does work quite well with this song,& I love David Gould's voice. Gidon Saks is also excellent. His range is fantastic.

I saw this exact producation last night! WONDERFUL show!

I agree.This production makes The Mikado look foolish. It's not even Satire anymore--it's more of a crappy "Scary Movie", Mikado-style.Lame.
