The cancelled performance of Die Walkure leads to this ‘improvisd’ performance, co-ordinated/written by the harassed PR manager. Karita Matilla, is wonderful as the diva stranded in her own country.
A smart and thoughtful take on the current situation, set ,almost but not quite, entirely to Cosi Fan Tutte, it managed to explore all aspects of the current situation, from Government level to individuals via the ‘new normal’ of work and teaching online, social distancing and cookery.
A marvellous response then; I wonder if any other responses will be as smart and clever - or take place at all.
