The Mikado Tickets

The Mikado tickets have been enjoyed by millions since the adorable opera made its debuted in 1885. Written by Arthur Sullivan and W.S. Gilbert, the satirical opera was immediately loved because of its ingenious design. Because the dynamic duo set the comedy musical opera in the Orient, they could take some direct shots at their own government, but not run the risk of offending because the story's setting is in the Far East. But the massive audiences who purchase box office tickets weren't fooled, and now more than a century later, event venues are still being packed out like during this 1995 finale of The Mikado.
