EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning costume design for a Lady of the Chorus in the renowned comic opera, The Mikado. Created by artist Charless Ricketts in 1926, this exquisite piece captures the essence of elegance and theatricality. The Mikado, composed by Arthur Sullivan with libretto by William Schwenck Gilbert, premiered on March 14th, 1885 at London's Savoy Theatre. It quickly became a sensation and ran for an impressive 672 performances, making it one of the longest-running works in musical theatre history. In this particular costume design, Ricketts masterfully combines traditional Japanese elements with his own artistic flair. The lady is adorned in a vibrant kimono featuring intricate patterns and rich colors that reflect the opulence of the era. Delicate floral motifs cascade down her sleeves while ornate accessories complete her ensemble. Ricketts' attention to detail is evident as he captures every fold and contour of the fabric with precision. This print not only serves as a testament to his artistic talent but also provides us with a glimpse into the world of theater during this time period. Preserved within these lines and colors is an enduring legacy that continues to captivate audiences today. As we admire this remarkable artwork from The Studio Volume 92 published in London in 1926, we are reminded of the timeless beauty found within both art and performance.
