Hem for The Mikado

Wednesday, September 1st, 2010

Andrew Hem illustrated for the Fort Worth Opera’s production of Gilbert and Sullivan’s The Mikado.

Fort Worth Opera’s version of the comedy remains true to the original, featuring some of the best-known Gilbert and Sullivan tunes, but with the fun twist of setting it in modern day Japan.

It shows May 14th, 22nd, 27th and June 4th, 2011. Tickets are available now.
