STARRING OLIVIER AWARD WINNING ROGER ALLAM AND NANCY CARROLL AS GLYNDEBOURNE FOUNDER JOHN CHRISTIE AND HIS WIFE AUDREY MILDMAY. STRICTLY LIMITED RUN MUST END SATURDAY 30 JUNE. Audiences have just five weeks left to see David Hare’s critically acclaimed new play The Moderate Soprano, about the love story at the heart of the foundation of Glyndebourne, directed by Jeremy Herrin and starring Olivier Award winners Roger Allam and Nancy Carroll. The production enters its final weeks at the Duke of York’s Theatre where it must end a strictly limited season on Saturday 30 June. The previously untold story of an English eccentric, a young soprano and three refugees from Germany who together established Glyndebourne, one of England’s best loved cultural institutions, has garnered public and critical acclaim alike. The production has been embraced by the Christie family who continue to be involved with the running of Glyndebourne, 84 years after its launch. Executive Director Gus Christie attended the West End opening with his family and praised the portrayal of his grandfather John Christie who founded one of the most successful opera houses in the world. First seen in a sold out run at Hampstead Theatre in 2015, the new production opened in the West End this spring, with Roger Allam and Nancy Carroll reprising their original roles as Glyndebourne founder John Christie and soprano Audrey Mildmay.

Bieito’s continued association with the company shows ENO’s commitment to highly theatrical and new interpretations of core repertoire. Following the success of his Carmen at ENO in 2012, described by The Guardian as ‘a cogent, gripping piece of work’, Bieito’s production of Fidelio comes to the London Coliseum after its 2010 premiere in Munich. Working with designer Rebecca Ringst, Bieito presents a vast Escher-like labyrinth set, symbolising the powerfully claustrophobic nature of the opera. Edward Gardner, ENO’s highly acclaimed Music Director, 2013 Olivier Award-nominee and recipient of an OBE for services to music, conducts an outstanding cast led by Stuart Skelton singing Florestan and Emma Bell as Leonore. Since his definitive performance of Peter Grimes at ENO, Skelton is now recognised as one of the finest heldentenors of his generation, appearing at the world’s major opera houses, including the Metropolitan Opera, New York, and Opéra National de Paris.

  • Shakespeare on Film, Video & Stage
    William Shakespeare on Film, Video and Stage Titles in bold red font with an asterisk (*) represent the crème de la crème – first choice titles in each category. These are the titles you’ll probably want to explore first. Titles in bold black font are the second- tier – outstanding films that are the next level of artistry and craftsmanship. Once you have experienced the top tier, these are where you should go next. They may not represent the highest achievement in each genre, but they are definitely a cut above the rest. Finally, the titles which are in a regular black font constitute the rest of the films within the genre. I would be the first to admit that some of these may actually be worthy of being “ranked” more highly, but it is a ridiculously subjective matter.

  • Scottish Film Locations – Background Information
    Scottish film locations – background information ‘Landscape as Inspiration: Scottish Locations in Literary Work and Film’ To view the full project visit the Scran website at www.scran.ac.uk and search for 0919 in project. "Chariots Of Fire" 1 Looking over the West Sands, St. Andrews, Fife, as featured in the film "Chariots Of Fire" (1981). It is on the beach pictured here that the British Olympic Running team are seen training in preparation for the 1924 Olympics in Paris. It is an example where the Scottish landscape is used to realise a place that is elsewhere- the scene is actually meant to be Broadstairs in Kent. "Chariots Of Fire" is the true story of two British track athletes competing in the 1924 Olympic Games. Eric Liddell is a devout Scottish missionary who runs for God whilst Harold Abrahams is a Jewish student who runs for fame and to escape prejudice for his religious beliefs. Extensive use of Scottish locations were used in the making of the film. The 1981 film, "Chariots of Fire" was directed by Hugh Hudson. It starred Ben Cross as Harold Abrahams and Ian Charleson as Eric Liddell. It was a critical and box office. The opening and closing scenes of the runners on the beach at St. Andrews have become an iconic movie moment, helped by the triumphal background music by Vangelis. ©Neil Sinclair "Gregory's Girl" Looking over a football pitch to Abronhill High School, Cumbernauld, North Lanarkshire, as featured in the film, "Gregory's Girl" (1981). This film tells the story of gangling schoolboy, Gregory, who is just beginning to find out about girls.
