The Arts Society Steyning October talk Monday 09 October 2023 at 10am All Singing, All Dancing Shakespeare A Talk by Sarah Lenton
The Steyning Centre, Fletchers Croft, Steyning BN44 3XZ Shakespeare without words? Composers and choreographers are always using Shakespeare as a springboard, but only the greatest have pulled it off. Amongst that band are Verdi, Berlioz, Britten, Frederick Ashton and Kenneth MacMillan with their versions of Macbeth, Romeo and Juliet and Midsummer Night’s Dream. Well-meaning casualties are Rossini, Auber and Bellini. What’s the difference? Sarah will be exploring this using clips from the operas and ballets, and first hand accounts from the artists themselves. Sarah Lenton has spent her working life in the theatre. Her principal employers are the Royal Opera House, English National Opera, Glyndebourne Festival Opera
and Garsington Opera. She writes programme articles, radio and play scripts, gives lectures and broadcasts regularly for BBC Radios 3 and 4. She is also a cartoonist. Free to members; visitors £10 donation.
