Once again, Music Director Steve Eva and the Chagrin Falls Studio Studio 
Orchestra <http://www.chagrinfallsstudioorchestra.org> bring you an 
entertaining musical experience to the intimate setting of the Chagrin 
Valley Little Theater <http://www.cvlt.org>.  This time, presented in 
collaboration with Opera per Tutti <http://www.operapertutti.org> 
(directed by Scott Skiba) and the Western Reserve Chorale 
<http://www.westernreservechorale.org> (directed by David Gilson) - two 
of Cleveland's finest Performing Arts organizations.

"The Mikado" is heralded as "the best of Gilbert and Sullivan" and 
epitomizes the British tongue in cheek humor still prevalent today with 
the likes of Monty Python, Benny Hill and Rowan Atkinson.

"The Mikado" is an Operetta...a cross-over between opera and what we 
know today as Musical Theater.  It features professionally trained 
voices and chorus but is interspersed with dialogue more typical of 
musical theater.  The plot of the show is a silly parody on Japanese 
culture about a Lord High Executioner who is just too nice a guy for the 
job.  The story twists and turns and, in the end, nobody loses their 
head...everything you would expect from Gilbert and Sullivan.

This presentation will be "In Concert", lightly costumed with the full 
orchestra and chorus on stage.   Much of the dialogue is cut and the 
music itself will carry the audience through the story in one Act 
without Intermission and will end in time for you to still enjoy the 
night life of Chagrin Falls after the show.

Come share the music with us.
