Opera Review

Opera Holland Park Young Artists: La traviata (2018)

I had the privilege of seeing Hampstead Garden Operas’ 1960s production of La traviata (my review here), yet I missed out on English National Opera’s alternative production that received mixed reactions from the critics. I was quite keen to see their version of Violetta lost in The Day of the Dead-style graveyard, having strange encounters with the licker man.

Last month, Opera Holland Park opened their 2018 season also with La traviata, yet their production went back to the classic and elegant 19th century, where the story had begun. There is not one controversial aspect about it, which does the production a huge favor in my humble opinion.>>>

Yes, Karita. I remember how amazing you were at the BBC Proms, 2016. trendfem.blogspot.com/2016/08/bbc-pr… twitter.com/MattilaKarita/…

For me MAKROPULOS.

Luckily Jenůfa wasn’t put on there.

I love KAT’A.

I don’t mind being in second place. Well. With Cunning little Vixen leading I do - a bit.

I mean; PEOPLE! C’mon - go vote. Elina it is. MAKROPULOS❤️

when press accreditation costs £50, you are already excluding people from going and further contributing to the dearth of working class critics in film journalism Retweeted by Drama llama Mary🌸🎶

Without having seen Come From Away yet I'm already reading this tweet thinking 'I know, I know'. twitter.com/rochellebalboa…

Spent the whole of my lunch break reading reviews of Come From Away from bloggers. 👍 Traditional criticism is becoming harder and harder to stomach when many paper critics now seem to find petty reasons to pick holes in a show successfully spreading some good in the world.

Yes, I just booked advanced tickets for a film about a female writer who forgets she's also a kick-ass superhero. Not enough of those types of films, if you ask me. @captainmarvel
