SUMMARY:National Theatre Live: Fleabag
DESCRIPTION:★★★★★ ‘Witty\, filthy and supreme.’ Guardian \nWritten and performed by Phoebe Waller-Bridge (Fleabag\, Killing Eve) and directed by Vicky Jones\, Fleabag is a rip-roaring look at some sort of woman living her sort of life. Following a box-office record-breaking run in cinemas in 2019\, the one-woman show returns to cinemas to the big screen this summer. \nFleabag may seem oversexed\, emotionally unfiltered and self-obsessed\, but that’s just the tip of the iceberg. With family and friendships under strain and a guinea pig café struggling to keep afloat\, Fleabag suddenly finds herself with nothing to lose. \nThe hilarious\, award-winning play that inspired the BBC’s hit TV series Fleabag\, was filmed live on stage in London’s West End in 2019. \nPresented by DryWrite\, Soho Theatre and Annapurna Theatre.

SUMMARY:ROH Live: The Sleeping Beauty
DESCRIPTION:The Sleeping Beauty holds a very special place in The Royal Ballet’s heart and history. It was the first performance given by the Company when the Royal Opera House reopened at Covent Garden in 1946 after World War II. In 2006\, this original staging was revived and has been delighting audiences ever since. Frederick Ashton famously cited the pure classicism of Marius Petipa’s 19th-century ballet as a private lesson in the atmospheric art and craft of choreography. Be swept away by Tchaikovsky’s ravishing music and Oliver Messel’s sumptuous fairytale designs with this true gem from the classical ballet repertory.

SUMMARY:Elégie; Rachmaninoff – A Heart in Exile
DESCRIPTION:Elegie chronicles the life of composer and pianist Sergei Rachmaninoff. Though he became an exile in 1917\, Russia remained deeply rooted in his soul. His cultural identity and his longing for his homeland imbue his music\, not least the many much-loved works he wrote for his own instrument\, the piano. The narrative\, scripted from letters and diaries\, follows Rachmaninoff from his youth in Russia\, through his subsequent self-imposed exile in 1917 and finally to California USA\, where he died in 1943. \nThe concert includes many of his best-loved works for solo piano\, including a selection of Preludes\, Etudes-Tableaux and Moments Musicaux\, some of his own transcriptions and the haunting Elégie\, as well as works by Scriabin and Tchaikovsky. \nKnown internationally for her ‘Composer Portraits’ in words and music\, pianist Lucy Parham is presenting Elegie in 2023 to celebrate the 150th anniversary of the birth of Rachmaninoff\, and is joined by internationally renowned stage and screen actor\, Sir Simon Russell Beale\, for this special performance.
