...fortunate that this National treasure is still available despite the calamities that have befallen it over the years and that performances continue to be given within it. THE PLOT Nanki-Poo is the son of the Emperor of Japan – the Mikado. He caught the eye of an elderly matron at court – Katisha – who proclaimed him for her own. To escape this fate he fled the court and hid in the town of Titipu playing in the town band. There, he fell in love with a local girl called Yum-Yum (ward of a tailor Ko-Ko who wants to marry her himself) before going off on his travels. The Mikado delivered a decree making flirting a capital offence. Ko-Ko, who had been thrown in prison and condemned to death by this time, is reprieved and made the Lord High Executioner.
