Out this evening for tasty Italian at Quattro Zero with the Exec Producer, then, off up to the Festival Theatre...


We were to see Ballet Rambert with chum Teresa this evening but she's been called away to Holland on grandchild business and so Mr Christoper joined us in her stead - good chat (not quite reflected in my big fat distorted face) as we waited for the performance to commence...


The piece, "Life is a Dream" featured amazing choreography, sets and lighting, accompanied by a wonderful live performance of Christopher Austin's orchestrations of pieces by Witold Lutosławski,...

The scene at half time...

Trailer...



Please do take a few minutes to watch these short films to get an idea of how brilliant this was...

Delighted to find, upon returning home, that all of the works by Lutosławski used in the piece, bar one, I have in the collection and will shortly enjoy again....

An excellent evening...

Today's artwork, "Life is a Dream"...
