So, here's the deal with 'The English National Opera Rehearse The Mikado' from '87. It's a documentary that captures a slice of the creative process, which is honestly pretty fascinating. You get to see Jonathan Miller digging into Gilbert and Sullivan's work, revealing his unique vision for the opera. The pacing feels relaxed, allowing you to really soak in the rehearsals and the interactions between the cast. The atmosphere is a mix of light-heartedness and serious dedication, typical of opera rehearsals, but there's an underlying respect for the material. It's not flashy or overproduced; it's just raw, behind-the-scenes magic. The performances, even in rehearsal, show glimpses of what makes this production stand out.
