An enduringly popular romantic spoof that has charmed countless listeners since its 1885 debut, The Mikado's appealing Japanese setting lends fresh novelty to Sullivan's winsome melodies and Gilbert's satirical verses. This new vocal score edition by Carl Simpson and Ephraim Hammett Jones includes all the voice parts, a piano reduction of the full score, and the complete libretto. This inexpensive edition exactly matches the excellent full score of The Mikado, also published by Dover, and prepared by the same editorial team. It will be indispensable to soloists, chorus members and rehearsal pianists.
