Performing Arts Bulawayo
[PAB] and the Academy [Bulawayo]
Thunderball (20 February)
Thursday 20 February in the Robert Sibson Hall at 7.00 p.m.
'Thunderball' is the fourth in the James Bond series starring Sean Connery.
Bond's mission is to find two NATO atomic bombs stolen by SPECTRE, which holds the world to ransom for £100 million in diamonds in exchange for not destroying a major city in either England or the United States. The search leads Bond to the Bahamas, where he encounters Emilio Largo, the SPECTRE Number Two, not to mention his beautiful mistress, Domino...
'Certainly among the top five of all Bonds, and still socko.' [Video-Reviewmaster.com, 25 May 2006]
'Formulaic it may be, but this is still classic 007 action, featuring great underwater sequences and a wicked femme fatale.' [Film 4, 6 May 2008]
Admission: $3.00 [free to film members]
Zandonai: Francesca da Rimini (21 February)
Friday 21 February in the Robert Sibson Hall at 6.30 p.m.
Francesca da Rimini was first performed exactly a hundred years ago on 19 February, 1914. Once regarded as the heir to Puccini, Zandonai never achieved another major success after this opera described in the New Grove as "one of the most original and polished Italian melodramas of the 20th century. It combines a powerful gift for Italian melody ... with an exceptional command of orchestration."
Francesca da Rimini was a historical figure forced into a political marriage with a brutal, crippled and much older man who fell madly in love with his younger brother. Eventually her husband caught the two in Francesca's bedroom and murdered them both. The story was immortalised by Dante who encounters Francesca and her lover in the second circle of hell and has been depicted in music by other composers, most notably Tchaikovsky in his symphonic poem.
Renata Scotto, Plácido Domingo and Cornell McNeil star in an opulent Metropolitan Opera production that won wide acclaim: 'Scotto has found her ideal role.a great performance. Domingo sang glamorously. The sets serve the work exquisitely with Piero Faggioni's graceful direction.' [New York Magazine]
Admission: $3.00 [free to Red Carpet members] Dinner available during the interval ($10.00)
Oh! What a Lovely War (27 February)
Thursday 27 February in the Robert Sibson Hall at 7.00 p.m.
'Oh! What a Lovely War' is the 1969 film directed by Richard Attenborough, with a cast including among others Dirk Bogarde, Paul Daneman, Edward Fox, John Gielgud, Jack Hawkins, Ian Holm, John Mills, Kenneth More, Nanette Newman, Laurence Olivier, Cecil Parker, Corin Redgrave, Michael Redgrave, Vanessa Redgrave, Ralph Richardson, Maggie Smith and Susannah York!
Admission: $3.00 [free to film members]
Elgar: Enigma Variations / The Man behind the Mask (28 February)
Friday 28 February in the Robert Sibson Hall at 6.30 p.m.
Two films to commemorate the 80th anniversary of Elgar's death on 23 February 1934. The first is a BBC documentary in which Sir Andrew Davis unravels the mystery of the famous musical puzzle contained in Elgar's work before conducting a complete performance in the cathedral in Elgar's home town of Worcester.
In the second film, John Bridcut explores the secret conflicts in Elgar's nature which produced some of Britain's greatest music. Although often regarded as the quintessential English gentleman, Elgar's image of hearty nobility was deliberately contrived. In reality, he was the son of a shopkeeper, who was awkward, nervous, self-pitying and often rude, while his marriage to his devoted wife Alice was complicated by romantic entanglements which fired his creative energy.
