NATIONAL THEATRE LIVE! The new play, TRAVELING LIGHT, is a funny and fascinating tribute to the Eastern European immigrants who became major players in Hollywood’s golden age. In a remote village in Eastern Europe, around 1900, the young Motl Mendl is entranced by the flickering silent images on his father’s cinematograph. Bankrolled by Jacob, the ebullient local timber merchant, and inspired by Anna, the girl sent to help him make moving pictures of their village, he stumbles on a revolutionary way of story-telling. Forty years on, Motl – now a famed American film director – looks back on his early life and confronts the cost of fulfilling his dreams. How had a twenty-two-year–old pretentious layabout made a discovery that would elude every other cinematic pioneer for years to come?

BOLSHOI BALLET See Russia’s premiere company live —performing its re-staging of Petipa’s full-length masterpeice called “grand” and “luscious” by London’s The Independent. The ballet follows a young Greek girl and a dashing pirate, as they journey through a tapestry of captive maidens, rich sultans, swashbuckling abductions, and dramatic rescues--all culminating in a shipwreck that’s one of the most breathtaking spectacles in all of ballet. Says the New York Times: “The final scene has one scenic masterstroke after another...the kind of special effect that in recent decades has belonged to film alone.” |

GRAND TEATRO DEL LICEU - Barcelona Conducted by Victor Pablo Perez Join us for a performancne of Puccinni’s masterpiece captured live by one of the world’s great opera companies. In La Bohéme, four young artists of 19th century Paris - including star-crossed lovers Mimi and Rodolfo - live out their everyday lives amid dreams, disappointments, poverty, and misfortune. The text and music relate all this with a pleasant melodramatic tenderness with which it is easy to identify.

ROYAL BALLET OF LONDON Sergey Prokofiev's Romeo and Juliet was Kenneth MacMillan’s first full-evening ballet, and, from its premiere in 1965, has been one of The Royal Ballet’s signature works, popular all over the world. At the beginning of the ballet MacMillan’s crowd scenes teem with life and colour. It’s a pleasure to be able to follow the characters created by members of the corps de ballet as they portray the townspeople, market traders and servants of the rival Montagues and Capulets. However, once Romeo and Juliet meet, everything else on stage can only be scenery for their story. Three great pas de deux: the meeting in the ballroom, the balcony scene and the morning after the wedding, eloquently convey the narrative: adolescent shyness and fascination; the headlong rush of love declared, and the grief of parting. The final scene in the tomb, a pas de deux with a lifeless partner, is devastating. |

NATIONAL THEATRE LIVE! One of the great, generous-hearted and ingenious comedies of the English language, Goldsmith's SHE STOOPS TO CONQUER offers a celebration of chaos, courtship and the dysfunctional family. Hardcastle, a man of substance, looks forward to acquainting his daughter with his old pal's son with a view to marriage. But thanks to playboy Lumpkin, he's mistaken by his prospective son in-law Marlow for an innkeeper, his daughter for the local barmaid. The good news is, while Marlow can barely speak to a woman of quality he's a charmer with those of a different stamp. And so, as Hardcastle's indignation intensifies, Miss Hardcastle's appreciation for her misguided suitor soars. |
