The Mikado, or The Town of Titipu is the most popular of the operettas by Gilbert and Sullivan. Sir William Schwenck Gilbert wrote the libretto, and Sir Arthur Seymour Sullivan composed the music. The Mikado was their ninth operetta together, following Princess Ida, or Castle Adamant. The Mikado premiered in London at the Savoy Theatre, Richard D’Oyly Carte’s theater, on 14 March 1885.
