'The joy of being a camera and swooping over Sydney Harbour
Bridge to glimpse one of the world's most exciting opera houses
and then to hover like a hawk above it and gaze enraptured at
those soaring sails. Inside it was said the pit could not
accommodate the grandest of operas; for the subtleties of
Sullivan's orchestra, however, there is room enough, as for the
gales of laughter in the house inspired by Gilbert's enchanting
mockery of Victorian England and incomprehensible Japan.
Christopher Renshaw as director has let his imagination run riot,
and Australian singers and players can be relied on for the
broadest humour that yet keeps a mostly wary eye for decorum.'
- Robert Anderson, reviewing the Opus Arte / Opera Australia DVD
of 'The Mikado' in today's Music & Vision, illustrated with
screenshots and video extracts.
