...were replaced with tokens and totems of the new pan-Orientalism: signs that blink out Sony, Seiko and, inevitably, Coca-Cola; NankiPoo (Tenor Neil Rosenshein), the wandering minstrel, transformed into a rocker with a red guitar; Yum-Yum (Soprano Michelle Harman-Gulick) in a flared short skirt and visor cap, giggling and jawing gum like a Tokyo Valley Girl; and the Mikado himself (Bass Donald Adams), arriving onstage, with all appropriate ceremony, in a Datsun...
