Rating:  - The Mikado by Gilbert & Sullivan, D'Oyly Carte Opera Company
I actually bought this as a gift for my mother. She had been looking for it. We checked Amazon and there it was! We've watched it a few times already and love it!
Thank you for the ease of ordering and your selections are fantastic!
Rating:  - Poor Quality of Great Music
This DVD recording of the Mikado has poor quality to the point of not being able to hear and understand the words on good speaker systems. It seems the original analog recording was simply moved to different media.
Rating:  - "D'Oyly Carte!"
Despite problems in sound transfer and of color fading, this is, hands down, still the best available filmed version of Gilbert and Sullivan's delightful comic opera.

Further, except for the truncated overture, this ... Read More
Rating: - Pure Gilbert & Sullivan ... pure delight!

John Reed as "Ko-Ko", the hapless Lord High Executioner, is a joy to both see and listen to; Kenneth Sandford as ... Read More
Rating: - The Mikado
I watched about 10 minutes of this and will not look at it again. It's VHS quality, which is to be expected, but the sound was not good, either. Somewhere in the chain from original recording to the DVD there was a device which had a motor with inconstant speed, so there is a pitch undulation superimposded on the sound track. Adding that to the stilted acting and poorly done lighting makes this a video that, for me, was a waste of money.
