Bloody hell, did you see what it says at the end of the article?
So it's 'very Verdi', darling, to be 'modern and a bit twisted'. Is it? I've always thought of him as politically furious, driven, and drawn to the striving of individuals caught up in forces that are stronger than they can control... But I'm sure Craig's version of La Traviata will be stupendous. Pink boas and tuberculosis. Disco and death. Fabby.
Quote:
“Meanwhile, Horwood has revealed he is also devising a “rock and soul version” of Verdi’s La Traviata, with orchestrator Sarah Travis. He said this is currently being workshopped in Brighton, and will be staged next year.
“I am sure opera buffs will be horrified, but I have done lots of opera. I understand it and appreciate it. I think Verdi’s score and soaring melodies lend themselves so beautifully to rock and soul. It’s very Verdi to want to do something modern and a bit twisted with it,” he said.”

It sounds interesting - I never saw the last pro tour but if it starts in April next year that probably means Vincent and Flavia won't be able to do it as they'll still be doing their own show and they would be my main reason for wanting to go

Ditto Topaz... (although I did see the last tour).
Doubt you'd get Brendan or Anton and Erin either.
