| Sadler's Wells: Peacock Theatre, London, Portugal Street, Holborn, London WC2 2HT, United Kingdom Saturday 29-Jun-13 02:30pm ZooNation Dance Company — Some Like It Hip Hop ZooNation’s Some Like It Hip Hop has been a runaway success since it hit the Peacock Theatre in 2011, wowing audiences and prompting widespread critical praise with five-star reviews and standing ovations. After a second successful run and celebrating the company’s tenth anniversary at Sadler’s Wells last year, Some Like It Hip Hop returns to the Peacock Theatre to kick-start the summer. Fast becoming a modern classic, Some Like It Hip Hop unites truly sensational dancing and a typically clever and engrossing storyline with infectious “wit, heart and magnificent energy” (The Independent). With a nod to Billy Wilder’s Some Like It Hot and Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night, it tells a comical tale of love, mistaken identity, cross-dressing and revolution, all played out in ZooNation’s trademark style of hip hop, comedy and physical theatre. Directed by Sadler’s Wells Associate Artist Kate Prince, Some Like It Hip Hop also features a ground-shaking original soundtrack, live singing and some of the UK’s top hip hop dance talent. | ||

The London ColiseumLa Bohème |
English National Opera Jonathan Miller, Director Natascha Metherell, Revival Director Isabella Bywater, Set Designer Gwyn Hughes Jones, Tenor: Rodolfo Kate Valentine, Soprano: Mimì Richard Burkhard, Baritone: Marcello Angel Blue, Soprano: Musetta Andrew Craig Brown, Bass: Colline Duncan Rock, Baritone: Schaunard Simon Butteriss, Bass: Benoît |

| The London Coliseum, St. Martin's Lane, London WC2N 4ES, United Kingdom Saturday 29-Jun-13 03:00pm Puccini’s gift for writing emotional music is brought to the fore in La bohème’s tale of doomed love in poverty-stricken Paris. One of the world’s most recognised and widely performed operas, it focuses on two central relationships: that of the poet Rodolfo, who falls in love with the pretty but consumptive seamstress Mimì; and the painter Marcello, who has a glamorous and popular on-off mistress, Musetta.
Jonathan Miller’s production for ENO has quickly become a company classic and here receives its second revival since its 2009 premiere. Inspired by Brassaï’s photographs of the Paris Left Bank in the 1930s, Miller modernises the original bohemian setting to evoke the stark poverty of the day, creating a highly effective contemporary resonance, citing the film Withnail and I as an inspiration. Playing Mimì is Kate Valentine, who in recent seasons has played the Countess in Fiona Shaw’s production of The Marriage of Figaro and an ‘excellent’ (The Times) Helena in Christopher Alden’s Olivier Award-nominated A Midsummer Night’s Dream. Gwyn Hughes Jones returns to the role of Rodolfo following his great success in ENO’s 2010 production, and recent acclaimed Pinkerton in Madam Butterfly.Jonathan Miller, Director Natascha Metherell, Revival Director Isabella Bywater, Set Designer Gwyn Hughes Jones, Tenor: Rodolfo Kate Valentine, Soprano: Mimì Richard Burkhard, Baritone: Marcello Angel Blue, Soprano: Musetta Andrew Craig Brown, Bass: Colline Duncan Rock, Baritone: Schaunard Simon Butteriss, Bass: Benoît | ||

| Opernhaus, Zürich, Opernhaus Falkenstrasse 1, Zürich 8008, Switzerland Saturday 29-Jun-13 07:00pm The court of the Duke of Mantua is the scene of glittering festivities. However, the courtiers who enjoy themselves at these celebrations are morally reprobate. They no longer have any values and amuse themselves out of sheer boredom. Here, to enjoy oneself means to humiliate and demean others. The court jester, Rigoletto, is the most cynical of all. He wants to protect only his daughter Gilda from the corrupt world. He locks her away and forbids her everything. Despite this, the young woman goes her own way. She develops from a rebellious teenager into a mature, loving woman. Her longing for freedom and self-determination is stronger than her father’s oppressive authoritarianism, and her faith in love remains unshakeable, despite the hypocrisy of society. Like so many of Verdi’s figures, Gilda achieves what she failed to do in life only in death – to take the step towards freedom.
With Rigoletto, Giuseppe Verdi attained a new level in his musical and dramatic oeuvre. He composes the scenes and successive images in a highly precise manner, at times almost like a film editor. The score reveals a brilliant juxtaposition of psychological ambiguity and melodic directness. There are strong contrasts in atmosphere. Giuseppe Verdi wrote Rigoletto during the politically volatile post-revolutionary period around 1850. His decision to base his opera on Victor Hugo’s play, Le Roi s’amuse (The King amuses himself), was an extremely socio-critical choice. Rigoletto is one of the Italian composer’s most sinister operas.
Tatjana Gürbaca will stage the piece, which will be her début at Zurich Opera House. The German director is now one of the most prominent of her generation; this is also because she preserves a feminine view of the works she stages. The internationally sought-after Alexandra Kurzak will be performing Gilda, and Quinn Kelsey, who is considered a sensational discovery among Verdi baritones, will be singing Rigoletto. The experienced Verdi expert Fabio Luisi will be at the rostrum.
In Italian with German and English surtitles.Fabio Luisi, Conductor Tatjana Gürbaca, Director Klaus Grünberg, Set Designer Orchestra La Scintilla Zurich Aleksandra Kurzak, Soprano: Gilda Judith Schmid, Mezzo-soprano: Maddalena Julia Riley, Mezzo-soprano: Giovanna Saimir Pirgu, Tenor: The Duke of Mantua Quinn Kelsey, Baritone: Rigoletto Pavel Daniluk, Bass: Sparafucile Valery Murga, Bass: Monterone | ||

| Sadler's Wells: Peacock Theatre, London, Portugal Street, Holborn, London WC2 2HT, United Kingdom Saturday 29-Jun-13 07:30pm ZooNation Dance Company — Some Like It Hip Hop ZooNation’s Some Like It Hip Hop has been a runaway success since it hit the Peacock Theatre in 2011, wowing audiences and prompting widespread critical praise with five-star reviews and standing ovations. After a second successful run and celebrating the company’s tenth anniversary at Sadler’s Wells last year, Some Like It Hip Hop returns to the Peacock Theatre to kick-start the summer. Fast becoming a modern classic, Some Like It Hip Hop unites truly sensational dancing and a typically clever and engrossing storyline with infectious “wit, heart and magnificent energy” (The Independent). With a nod to Billy Wilder’s Some Like It Hot and Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night, it tells a comical tale of love, mistaken identity, cross-dressing and revolution, all played out in ZooNation’s trademark style of hip hop, comedy and physical theatre. Directed by Sadler’s Wells Associate Artist Kate Prince, Some Like It Hip Hop also features a ground-shaking original soundtrack, live singing and some of the UK’s top hip hop dance talent. | ||
