The Mikado is an operetta which was written by Gilbert and Sullivan and first performed in 1885.
The operetta is highly comedic, satirical depiction of life in the Japanese town of Titipu. While the plot appears to be poking fun at Japanese tradition, it is actually a cleverly disguised parody of British politics. The plot follows Nanki-Poo, the son of Japan's lordlike Mikado, in his attempts to woo the fair Yum-Yum away from her fiance Ko-Ko, whilst avoiding the affections of his own betrothed, the elderly Katisha.
The male roles in the Mikado are:
-The Mikado (bass)
-Nanki-Poo, his son (tenor)
-Ko-Ko, the Lord High Executioner (baritone)
-Pooh-Bah, the Lord High Everything Else (baritone)
-Pish-Tush, a nobleman (baritone or bass)
The female roles in the Mikado are:
-Yum-Yum, Ko-Ko's betrothed (soprano)
-Peep-Bo, a ward of Ko-Ko (soprano)
-Pitti-Sing, her sister (mezzo-soprano)
-Katisha, a noblewoman (contralto)
However, sometimes people with different ranges can play various roles in the operetta. Pitti-Sing can be successfully sung by an alto, while any female singer could play Katisha as long as she has a low range. If the actor playing Pish-Tush cannot hit a bottom F, another character, Go-To, may be played by a bass to sing Pish-Tush's lower parts.

Get the the mikado mug.Mickardo is very popular. He's extremely social and everyone finds him amazingly cool. But on the inside hes scared. And this only shows when he's in love with someone. Then the person he is in love with (and only that person) will discover who he really is. A super nice, sensitive guy. But really kind of a coward. However he is extremely loyal and always speaks his mind no matter what kind of trouble it gets him into. He's smart and more mature than he wants people to think. He almost never gets mad at a teacher or screws anything up. He's funny and people look up to him. There's so much to him and he's so complicated that you're just kind of drawn to him. He's like two people at once and sometimes that's frustrating but sometimes it's kinda hot.
