Inspiring both laughter and awe in their audience, the ���ϲ����� Choir and Orchestra performed Gilbert and Sullivan’s famous operetta The Mikado at this spring’s concert.

Full of song and comedy, The Mikado charmed listeners with its whimsical humor while highlighting the talents of the students who sang onstage and played in the orchestra pit. Originally written to satirize Victorian England’s customs and politics under the guise of a fictionalized Japan, the operetta combines a steady stream of jokes with a comically far-fetched plot and an impressive musical score.

Delighted by the show’s absurdities and by the skill of the students who brought its music to life, the students, faculty, family, and friends who packed St. Cecilia Halls’ Fritz B. Burns Auditorium gave an enthusiastic standing ovation to the choir and orchestra at the end of an impressive performance.
