What it’s about. A Londres, dans les années 1880, les opérettes de W.S. Gilbert et Arthur Sullivan n'ont jamais connu d'échec. Mais leur dernière création, Princess Ida, reçoit un accueil mitigé de la part de la critique et du public. Découragé, Sullivan souhaite désormais se consacrer à l'opéra, un art majeur. Cependant, Gilbert et lui sont sous contrat avec le directeur du Savoy Theatre, Richard D'Oyly Carte. Quelques mois plus tard, alors que Princess Ida fait un véritable flop, Carte demande au duo de lui présenter en urgence une nouvelle oeuvre. C'est en visitant une exposition japonaise que Gilbert puise l'inspiration pour écrire une nouvelle pièce. Ce sera Le Mikado.
