English National Opera - A National Treasure
Review of English National Opera by  bubblegum_princess

Advantages: Accessible staging, good balance in programming, great education programmes
Disadvantages: Singing is not always consistently amazing

...As an aspiring opera singer (currently working in admin - oh, the glamour! - but hoping to go back to college in the near future), I try to attend as much live opera as I can. Living in London is great for this - we are spoilt with 2 international level opera houses, as well as numerous touring companies and high standard amateur productions. English National Opera is generally seen as the Royal Opera House's more accessible sibling - slightly cooler, slightly more modern. All productions are staged in English and the singing is generally of a very high standard. English National Opera's home is the Coliseum on St Martin's Lane, just off Trafalgar Square, so easily accessible from Charing Cross Station (Mainline or underground) or bus routes 3, 6, 9, 11, 12, 13, 15, 23, 24, 29, 53, 77a, 88, 91, 139, 159, 176, or if you're travelling by...

Slow burning baroque intensity
Review of Theodora - Glyndebourne Festival Opera (Subtitled) (DVD) by  Maestrolover

Advantages: Stunning music with spine-chilling ending
Disadvantages: Might feel a bit long to Handel newcomers

...that is hemming her in, it's a mental one too - and so her aria longing for freedom yet to save her purity packs an even harder emotional punch. In baroque opera and dance of Handel's day, there would be very complex choreographed movements to depict emotions in the text. Sellars brings this into his production by having the solo singers and chorus make simultaneous complicated hand gestures at times to underline the feelings and things they are singing about - i.e. a gesture from the heart at the word "love". I guess it is a kind of emotional semaphore. Initially, I thought it was a rather twee idea which distracted from the music, yet as the oratorio went on, it made more and more sense in the way it emphasised both the meaning of the words AND the mental state of not only the main characters but the chorus too... Needless to... Read review

National Treasure
Review of National Treasure (DVD) by  jaygami1986

Advantages: read opp
Disadvantages: read opp

...National Treasure has to be one of my favourite Disney Movies in the last 10 years, and even though I think of myself logically too old for Disney films, this particular film has such a likeable, watchable quality to it, and at times reminds me of my younger years. For me national treasure has everything, action, comedy, family feel movie, yet at the same time not too cheesy. The cast is brilliant, and with the addition of Nicholas Cage, Sean Bean and Jon Voight, this film certainly has some of Hollywood's best. Plot: The story is set in America, and the plot centres around Benjamin Franklin Gates (Nicolas Cage), who is a obsessed historian, who's family through generations have believe in a legend that their was gold hidden somewhere in America, by the founding fathers of America, to protect it from British Soldiers. However, to... Read review
