Who wrote the song The Mikado?

"The Mikado" is actually a comic opera, not a song, and it was written by the famous duo Gilbert and Sullivan. The opera, which premiered in 1885, features a libretto by W.S. Gilbert and music by Arthur Sullivan. It is set in Japan and satirizes British society and politics through its quirky characters and humorous plot.


What is the Mikado opera?

I am guessing you mean 'The Mikado' by Gilbert and Sullivan. This is a comic opera and their ninth of fourteen operatic collaborations. It opened on 14th March 1885. By setting the opera in Japan Gilbert was able to satirize British politics and institutions more freely by disguising them as Japanese.
