The Story of the Mikado is a book written by William S. Gilbert that tells the story of the popular comic opera, The Mikado. The book provides a detailed account of the creation and production of the opera, including the inspiration behind the story, the development of the characters, and the challenges faced during the production process. Gilbert, who was the librettist of The Mikado, also shares his personal reflections and insights into the opera's success and enduring popularity. The book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of musical theater and the creative process behind one of the most beloved operas of all time.1921. The last literary work by Sir William S. Gilbert tells the story of The Mikado afresh. A lighthearted burlesque of Victorian English culture and the vagaries of love, set in a fanciful (and wholly imaginary) Japanese society. It is one of the most admired of all the Gilbert and Sullivan operettas.
