That the Auckland Amateurs were quite justified in reproducing the ‘ Mikado ’ no one will doubt who witnessed the performances at the Opera House on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday of last week. The audiences on each of these nights were large and enthusiastic, and the piece went along most smoothly. The chief thing to record in connection with the opera’s re appearance is the change in cast, by which Mr George Reid took the role of Nanki Poo. Mr Reid, though a baritone, accommodated his voice excellently well to his work, and acted with a great deal of spirit. In the love-making he scored heavily, and won loud applause.
