Opera Anywhere Ltd

Just stop it, please!I first saw this company perform a Mikado a decade or so ago. While the younger soloists performing Nanki-Poo, Yum-Yum and Pooh-Bah had excellent voices, the Ko-Ko was the worst professional performance I've ever seen, G&S or otherwise. He fluffed his lines, wasn't funny, and had a weak voice.I saw the company perform.Pirstes a while later and again the same gentleman, Mike Woodward, had only a passing familiarity with the lines and was unfunny. I vowed never to see them again.A friend took me to see a Mikado at the weekend and my heart sang when I discovered it was Opera Anywhere. And Mike was STILL there and STILL fluffing his lines. Again the other younger soloists were good.I've seen far, far better amateur patter men than Mike but this is supposedly a professional production. Of course, I realise now Mike runs the company. No wonder, no one else would cast him, not even most amateur companies.Please, Mike, step back from performing, allow the REAL professionalsbto take your roles.

A really good evening of entertainment. We would definitely go and see another of their performances. 5*

Super, great fun at some fascinating locations. Lovely people.

Enjoyed HMS Pinafore in the Forest of Dean- what a treat! The whole company were so professional and it was a great evening.

Seen better G&S performances

Just seen HMS Pinafore - fantastic bunch of singer's & actors

Really enjoyed last night's fab performance at the wonderful Brighton Open Air Theatre (BOAT)

Entertaining performance of The Mikado at Nothe Fort in Weymouth. An amusing performance by Mike W of Ko Ko but lacking volume, intonation and depth of voice.In general, the sound quality at the event was pretty poor.
