On April 29 West Middle School chorus classes attended a
wonderful performance of “Mikado” at the Michigan Opera Theater. A huge
thank you is extended to the Michigan Opera Theater for donating the tickets
and paying for the transportation.
The opera centers on Nanki-Poo, the son of Mikado of
Japan. Nanki-Poo has fled his father's imperial court to escape marriage with
Katisha, an elderly lady. But all ends well with laughing song and a
merry dance as Nanki-Poo marries his true love, Yum Yum.
The performance was lively and entertaining. The
colorful costumes and set design added to the enjoyment. For many of the
students, this was their first time attending an opera. Hopefully, the students
will continue to participate and appreciate the theater throughout their
lifetime.
