MANHATTAN — Kansas State University's McCain Performance Series will feature the New York Gilbert & Sullivan Players, directed by Albert Bergeret, performing their critically acclaimed and refreshed production of "The Mikado" at 7:30 p.m. Monday, March 10, at McCain Auditorium.

"The Mikado" features favorite Gilbert & Sullivan characters, and a brief new prologue set in the offices of the D'Oyly Carte Opera Company frames the classic work for today's audiences. While this production underlines how "The Mikado" can be enjoyed by artists and audiences of all backgrounds, Gilbert's lyrics and Sullivan's melodies — which have delighted comic opera lovers for more than 135 years — are still as fresh as "the flowers in spring."

Tickets are available online at mccain.k-state.edu or at the ticket office in the McCain lobby from noon to 4 p.m. Wednesdays through Fridays. Tickets are also available by phone at 785-532-6428 during the same hours. Youth 17 and younger are half price for this show. Discounted tickets to this show are also available for K-State faculty and staff, seniors 62 and older, and military members. Original IDs will be required to obtain discounts — third-party, photocopied or web-based IDs are not accepted.
