Description Opera Australia's lavish production of The Mikado succeeds in doing justice to the colourful whimsy and pointed fakery of Gilbert & Sullivan's classic. Perhaps the story of love, death and social standing in exotic climes is so enduring because it still has things to say to us today; perhaps it's simply frivolous and feelgood fun.
