Review: THE MAGICIANS TABLE, The Vaults

Death, it turns out, is an excellent alibi for a party, even one being held in your honour. Legendary magician, beloved family man and complete fiction Dieter Roterburg has sadly died and his wake is being held nightly in the tunnels beneath Waterloo train station. Guests are invited to pay their respects, knock back a cocktail or two, and watch a band of highly skilled magicians perform at an unusually intimate range.

Review: THE MARRIAGE OF FIGARO, Royal Ballet & Opera

Mae West famously asked, "Is that a gun in your pocket, or are you happy to see me?" Well, at the beginning of the relationship, they will no doubt be very happy to see you. But, at the end of the relationship… And that, my friends, is as good a summary of Mozart’s The Marriage Of Figaro as any. Opera rarely troubles itself with sequels. Most composers arrive, set fire to their characters' lives then move on.

Cecilia Stinton sets the action in postwar Naples, with ostensibly American GIs stationed there and their girlfriends flying in from across the Atlantic. It’s an idea with real promise. A city still marked by occupation, saturated in tourist gloss and transactional desire, is a far more pointed setting for Alfonso’s cynicism than Mozart’s original world. But Stinton leans almost exclusively on Neil Irish’s designs to make that case, and then rather leaves the case unspoken.
