Musical Revival
2) Beggar's Opera (Revival)
Joué durant 3 semaines
Première preview: 24 November 1999 Première: 24 November 1999 Dernière: 18 December 1999
Compositeur: *** Divers • Parolier: John Gay • Libettiste: John Gay • Metteur en scène: Jonathan Miller • Chorégraphe: Avec: Mike Burnside (Peachum), Buffy Davis (Mrs Peachum), Ali McGregor (Polly Peachum), Michael Feast (Macheathj, Bianca Campbell (Jenny Diver), Tara Harrison (Lucy Lockitt), David Kincaid (Lockitt)
Commentaire: London’s second “Beggar’s Opera” in a month was judged to be another mish-mash and a tedious drawn-out failure, despite being directed by Jonathan Miller. The musical arrangements were odd - using accordion, banjo, guitar and swing bass; the interpolation of references to the Ride of the Valkyries, Over the Rainbow and similar (to replace Handel’s “Rinaldo” quotes) seemed inappropriate; and an attempt to set the piece in Victorian London but then have Macheath make his first entrance in a cowboy suit was mystifying. Casting the show with actors who were mostly not singers, and stretching the whole thing to a three hour performance was felt to have added to the general dismay. (plus)
