VAMPIRES AND IN OUTER SPACE WITH MOZART
The curtain Swanie had opted for a musical as a birthday present which I was quite happy about but somewhat worried. All that was good had finished. French adaption of English or American musicals, is in my book, disastrous. The only thing I found and the critics were uncommonly good (that made me suspicious) was "Le Bal des Vampires" and I don't need to translate that! I booked, but we didn't know until the curtain call that this was the 100th performance. That says it all, doesn't it? The setting, sets, cast, costumes, direction were in the top class of musicals. I don't know if Swan dreamt of Vampires - I did! Have a look at this..... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qsTmX4ep3y4 I woke up with a jump but my neck was not dripping with blood, so I was intact. This afternoon I was to see the final performance of an opera. "Il re pastore" of Mozart. I am NOT an opera lover but the posters around Paris had intrigued me. Somehow it looked modern.
