Gilbert and Sullivan Online Exhibit Details
W. S. Gilbert. The Mikado. London: Chappell & Co., [1885].

First edition of the libretto. Open to the original version of Ko-Ko’s little list.

Gilbert made important textual changes in his librettos up until the last minute and also made revisions during the few days following opening nights. This song as originally published was performed only a few times before Gilbert altered the lyrics and placed it earlier in the opera.
