As you like it in HD from Shakespeare’s Globe theatre Wed 24th February and Wed 3rd March @ 7pm
Rosalind, the daughter of a banished duke, falls in love with Orlando at a wrestling match. Her usurping uncle, jealous of her popularity banishes her from court. Disguised as a boy she leaves with her cousin Celia and the jester Touchstone, to seek out her father in the Forest of Arden. Here she meets Orlando again and, under the guise of a young man, counsels him in the art of love and wooing.
A firm favourite among Shakespeare’s comedies, and including some of his bestloved characters, As You Like It runs the glorious gamut of pastoral romance: cross-dressing and love-notes; poetry and brilliant conversation; gentle satire, slapstick and passion.
Loves Labour Lost Wednesday 10th & 17th March @ 7pm
THEATRE IN HD From Shakespeares Globe theatre
The King of Navarre and his courtiers have forsworn every kind of pleasure. But a visit from the Princess of France and her lovely entourage soon has this all-male ‘academe’ tearing up its own rulebook.
Shakespeare’s celebration of the claims of young love is a festive parade of every weapon in the youthful playwright’s comic arsenal – from excruciating cross-purposes to silly impersonations, drunkenness, bustups and pratfalls. It’s also his most joyful banquet of language, groaning with puns, rhymes, bizarre syntax, grotesque coinages and parody
L’elisir D’amore Saturday 27th March @ 7pm
Opera in HD from Glyndebourne
Sung in Italian with English subtitles
Set in an idyllic vision of a Southern Italian village square, Donizetti’s delightful opera tells of the romantic rivalry between the penniless Nemorino and the bumptious Sergeant Belcore for the love of the beautiful, bookish Adina, whose reading of the tale of Tristan and Isolde makes poor lovesick Nemorino think that the wonder-working Dr Dulcamara might have just the potion his heart requires
Not the Messiah: He’s a Very Naughty Boy (cert TBC)
Thursday 25th March 2010A fabulously entertaining 90 minute comic oratorio by Eric Idle and John Du Prez (creators of Spamalot) inspired by Monty Python’s Life Of Brian filmed at its only European performance at the Royal Albert Hall in October 2009 to celebrate 40 years of Monty Python. This hilarious take on the Messiah features the BBC Symphony Orchestra and Choir, a host of superb soloists in the lead roles including Rosalind Plowright and Eric Idle, with Michael Palin as Mrs Betty Parkinson and special guest appearances from Pythons Terry Jones and Terry Gilliam. And of course three sheep! Like Handel only funnier
THE BOLSHOI BALLETLIVE FROM MOSCOW - "Les Flammes de Paris"
WEDNESDAY 31st MARCH 2010 at 8pm (central European time)
A live evening from the Bolshoi Theatre of Moscow!
The Bolshoi Theatre of Moscow, internationally known, will broadcast live for the first time in France, one of its most prestigious productions: “ Les Flammes de Paris ”. This ballet, never broadcasted in France in its entirety, will be visible in 80 cinemas in France and in Europe, live and in high definition.
Although this new version is directed by Alexei Ratmanski, "Les Flammes de Paris" was first presented by Vassili Vaynonen at the Bolshoi Theatre in 1933. Each of the projects of the Bolshoi Ballet has its very own character. "Les Flammes de Paris" is one of its most interesting and most unusual ballets. Indeed, this ballet does not belong to the classical ballet repertoire or the masterpieces of the Soviet period.
