Musings on opera, ballet and theatre. English Surtitles/Supertitles and Seat-back systems. Frame[d] – New Youth Dance Company – Jerwood House Ipswich, July 21 2015. In a show lasting sixty minutes the New Youth Dance Company. Going from strength to strength lately.*. A promo before the action actually took place was projected onto the back of the space.

Musings on opera, ballet and theatre. English Surtitles/Supertitles and Seat-back systems. High Society – The Old Vic – July 22 2015 (matinee). 8220;hey, when you come in, we’re already onstage and acting! 8221; which I find a bit twee, the poor devils, it must extend their call times by about 30 minutes, on matinée days adding an hour or more, but they evidently love it, they burst with pizzazz – thank god, cause for a show about rich socialites (the 1950’s 1%ers), it needs some sparkle.

Musings on opera, ballet and theatre. English Surtitles/Supertitles and Seat-back systems. One Goes Mad in Bayreuth. I went to see Tristan and Isolde and Holländer. At the Bayreuth Festival.

It can be really expensive to go in comfort. Hotels are marked up about 50%. Finding one is tough! Train (and rail repl...

https://theoperatunist.wordpress.com/2015/07/24/the-bakkhai-the-almeida-july-23-2015-8pm
Musings on opera, ballet and theatre. English Surtitles/Supertitles and Seat-back systems. The Bakkhai – The Almeida, July 23 2015 8pm. T: anyone expecting “the Ben Whishaw show” may be disappointed – (it’s not his show, it’s the ensemble’s – but he. Good,) in this new, largely faithful version of Euripides’ classic. Classical in execution, using just three actors and a chorus- James Macdonald. 8216;s new Bacchae (here rendered as Bakkhai) draws on a new version by Anne Carson. R, Melanie La Barrie.
