About this item
Sir Arthur Sullivan wrote fourteen comic operas with librettist W. S. Gilbert, plus overtures, oratorios, cantatas, operettas and other incidental music. The Mikado was written in 1885 after a temperamental tantrum during which Sullivan swore that inspiration was lost and that he “would never write another note.” Curiously, some consider Mikado to be one of his finest comic operas.
