8 January 2016. Elizabeth at the Royal Opera House



I really enjoyed this run through of the loves of Elizabeth I, featuring Carlos Acosta as the various favourites and suitors. He seemed really to be enjoying the parts and so gave a lightness of touch to the whole ninety minutes.

The production seemed to me an excellent mix of dance, singing, acting and music – with very effective lighting thrown in for good measure. The dancers acted out their parts to words spoken and sung by others on stage and this all worked extremely well.

Needless to say, the end was greeted with great and deserved applause and I felt lucky to have been in the front row and so close to the action of this production.
