Review: SAMSON ET DALILA at The Royal Opera House
By Stuart King Monday, May 30 2022, 08:28
It could reasonably be asserted that Camille Saint-Saëns’ operatic treatment of the biblical Samson and Delilah story, received a decidedly cautious reception when its first sections were explored before an audience. Consequently, it was many years after work had begun, that a fully staged production was finally mounted at Weimar in 1877 — and only then with the vehement support and championing of Franz Liszt.

Review: MY FAIR LADY at The London Coliseum
By Stuart King Friday, May 20 2022, 09:52
As a child, this reviewer heard countless plays of the household’s Lerner and Leowe musical albums: Camelot, Paint Your Wagon, Brigadoon and of course My Fair Lady (based on George Bernard Shaw’s playPygmalion). All, had been huge commercial stage successes, spawning sumptuously colourful film versions indelibly associated with the golden age of the Hollywood musical.
