  • "Mike Leigh directs this comic look at one of light opera's most famous creative partnerships. In 1880s London, the writing team of William Gilbert (Jim Broadbent) and Arthur Sullivan (Allan Corduner) looks set to split after the comparative failure of their latest collaboration, 'Princess Ida'. Sullivan is keen to prove himself as a serious composer, feeling that Gilbert's writing has become too formulaic. However, when Gilbert's wife, Kitty (Lesley Manville), takes him to an exhibition of Japanese culture, his imagination is fired, and he enthusiastically contacts Sullivan with ideas for a new project."

  • "After the less than stellar reception of "Princess Ida", the team of Gilbert and Sullivan is on the verge of breaking up, until a visit to an exhibition of Japanese art plants the seed for "The Mikado"."
  • "Dramatisation of the story of the partnership between lyricist William Gilbert and composer Arthur Sullivan. With a wealth of authentic Victorian detail, the film concentrates on the good-natured antagonism between the men, focusing on the production of The Mikado."
  • "Topsy-turvy casts the spotlight uopn the creative partnership of Gilbert and Sullivan, responsible for such classic comic operas as The Pirates of Penzance. After ten consecutive smash hits, they have a flop on their hands and they begin to question their success. Sullivan thinks that Gilbert's story lines have become formulaic and a creative dead-end has been reached. When Gilbert visits a Japanese cultural exhibition he is struck with inspiration and the pair re-unite to create The Mikado, a huge hit."

  • "Gilbert and Sullivan were two men who were extremely different in size and stature, and even more different in temperament and style. This is the story of the making of one of their most famous collaborations, The Mikado."@en
  • "The relationship between Gilbert and Sullivan is trained to breaking point as Arthur Sullivan starts to run out of musical ideas for William Gilbert's predictable plots. One day Mrs Gilbert talks her husband into visiting an exhibition of Japanese life."
  • "Londra, 1885. Il drammaturgo William Gilbert e il compositore Arthur Sullivan divengono celebri componendo operette di grande successo. Qualcosa però ogni tanto va storto, e il loro ultimo lavoro, "Principessa Ida", non ottiene l'esito sperato. Sullivan ne esce molto scoraggiato, la sua reazione è quella di lasciare l'operetta per dedicarsi alla musica classica, ma sia lui che Gilbert sono legati contrattualmente all'impresario Carte il quale invece ritiene che sia il caso di pensare subito ad un'altra opera per cancellare il ricordo della precedente. In una mostra in città è ricostruito un villaggio orientale, dove per l'occasione sono stati fatti arrivare uomini, donne e bambini giapponesi. Visitando la mostra con la moglie, Gilbert ha l'ispirazione per un nuovo testo dal titolo 'Mikado' (LaFeltrinelli)."
  • "Het Britse duo Gilbert en Sullivan, dat aan het eind van de negentiende eeuw grote successen boekte met luchtige operettes, raakt in een artistieke impasse. Sullivan wil een serieuze symphonie schrijven, Gilbert wil eigenlijk op dezelfde voet verdergaan."

  • "Les opérettes du tandem Gilbert et Sullivan n'ont jamais connu d'échec jusqu'à ce jour de 1884 où Princess Ida reçoit un accueil très décevant. Alors que le compositeur Sullivan ne rêve que de musique sérieuse et pense abandonner l'opérette, Gilbert se creuse les méninges pour satisfaire leur commanditaire avec une nouvelle oeuvre. Par contrat, Sullivan met en musique "The Mikado", une oeuvre qu'il définit comme "sans queue ni tête" (topsy turvy), inspirée par une exposition japonaise en vogue. Ce brillant succès relancera leur carrière."
