Movie Reviews of Gilbert & Sullivan - The Mikado / Conrad, Stewart, Revill, Opera World
Movie Review: Good DVD - Even William Conrad
Summary: 5 Stars
This is my third attempt to purchase a quality dvd of the mikado. The first attempt was from a stage performance which gave me decent voices and video quality, poor sets and what sounded like a chamber ensamble playing the music. With a score like that of the mikado, you need a great orchestra, which you get with this version. My second attempt was also from a stage version with a good orchestra, voices, sets and costumes. Unfortunately, video quality was terrible and you couldn't understand the words. This is good quality, good voices and sets, and a great orchestra.Wm. Conrad was good - remember - The Mikado has a small part.
If you are really demanding, this is probably not for you, but this is, in my estimation, enjoyable and the best I could find after purchasing what I could find.
P.S. both this and HMS Pinnafore are public television productions, have an interesting intro and intermission by Errol Flynn, and a full libreto.
