Title: Great Movie!
Product review: I have never been very interested in Gilbert and Sullivan's creations or Opera in general but I decided to try and watch this on Netflix a while ago. I ordered the Blu-Ray and soundtrack two days later. Topsy-Turvy is a (only)slightly Hollywood-ized recount of the period leading to the creation of G&S's likely most famous work, The Mikado. This has excellent fully-staged excerpts of The Mikado along with very well performed music(Sullivan's arranged for the film) conducted by Carl Davis on what, in the movie, appeared to be period instruments in an authentically sized ensemble. I'm no movie buff but the acting and writing all seemed top notch and three of the leading actors I recognized from the Harry Potter films. I highly recommend it to anyone with even a slight interest in classical music or Opera, though some of the content may be unsuitable for children.
