A BRIEF OVERVIEW OF WHAT’S ON DURING JULY - AUGUST 2015
ROYAL OPERA HOUSE LIVE – GUILLAUME TELL Sun 05 Jul @ 2.45pm
Opening with what is arguably the most exciting of all operatic overtures, Rossini’s final opera helped to lay the foundations of the genre of French grand opéra that dominated european stages throughout the mid-19th century. The opera’s theme is liberty, as exemplified in the struggle against Austrian occupation led by the swiss archer and patriot Guillaume Tell: in the opera’s most famous scene, Tell shoots an apple from his son’s head, a feat that inspires his countrymen to revolt. Rossini’s score is one of his most outstanding and packed with glorious arias, choruses and ensembles, as those who have heard Antonio Pappano’s admired recording – which also features Gerald Finley (Tell), John Osborn (Arnold) and Malin Byström (Mathilde) – will know. The exciting young Italian director Damiano Michieletto makes his debut with what promises to be a spectacular and thought- provoking production. Gioachino Rossini | Opera in four acts, sung in French.
NATIONAL THEATRE LIVE – EVERYMAN Thurs 16 Jul @ 7pm BAFTA winner and Academy Award® nominee Chiwetel ejiofor (12 Years a slave) takes the title role in this dynamic new production of one of english drama’s oldest plays, directed by the National Theatre’s new Director Rufus Norris (Broken, London Road). everyman is successful, popular and riding high when Death comes calling. He is forced to abandon the life he has built and embark on a last, frantic search to recruit a friend, anyone, to speak in his defence. But Death is close behind, and time is running out. One of the great primal, spiritual myths, everyman asks whether it is only in death that we can understand our lives. A cornerstone of english drama since the 15th century, it now explodes onto the stage in a startling production with words by Carol Ann Duffy, Poet Laureate and movement by Javier De Frutos.
ROYAL SHAKESPEARE CO. LIVE – THE MERCHANT OF VENICE
Wed 22 Jul @ 7pm In the melting pot of Venice, trade is God.
