The Mikado Theatre & Performing Arts


Love triangles, political chaos, disguised identities and origami meet in Titipu. Three friends do not always agree on proceedings.

With a new aesthetic twist and setting, witty libretto and gorgeous music, this is a production to please newcomers and G&S fans alike.

The tale begins when three children decide to fold origami figures. They play with their creations, naming each one and imagining a story for them. However the three friends do not always agree on the proceedings...

Nanki-Poo, son of the Mikado, fled the imperial court to escape marriage with Katisha. Disguised, he falls in love with Yum-Yum, who is already betrothed to her guardian Ko-Ko, the soft-hearted Lord High Executioner of Titipu. Meanwhile, Katisha discovers Nanki-Poo's whereabouts, and the Mikado send orders that an execution must happen within a month if the town wishes to keep its status. Love triangles, political chaos, disguised identities and origami meet in Titipu this coming Spring.

LOpSoc is the University of Southampton Light Opera Society, founded in 1971 by Professor Geoffrey Lilley, OBE. The Society has received multiple awards in the past years, including 'Best Production' in the International G&S UniFest in 2014.
