In 2004, Opera North gave over its spring season to one-act operas. Eight 19th- and early 20th-century works were toured, in sets designed by the late Johan Engels, with the productions shared between David Pountney and Christopher Alden. It was a hugely enterprising and generally successful venture, and the most hauntingly memorable of all the stagings was Alden’s production of Manuel de Falla’s bleak tragedy La Vida Breve. The company has now brought that back for the first time, in a double bill with a new version of Gianni Schicchi, also directed by Alden, and designed by Charles Edwards with Jac van Steen as the hugely competent conductor. The Falla is every bit as disturbing as it seemed 10 years ago. Alden transplants the original paper-thin plot from the Gypsy barrio of Granada to a tatty garment factory that could be anywhere in Spain, and brings this enclosed corner of society, in which casual violence and swaggering machismo are the norm, to vivid, sordid life. … [Read more...] about La Vida Breve/Gianni Schicchi review – disturbing, ingenious double bill

Roger Corman is the patron saint of American B-movies. Not only did he launch the careers of A-list directors like Francis Ford Coppola, James Cameron, Jonathan Demme, and Martin Scorsese by taking a chance on them very early in their careers, he’s also an independent innovator who perfected the blockbuster formula before Jaws and Star Wars brought it to the Hollywood mainstream. He claims to only have lost money on one of the 56 movies he’s directed over the years—1962's The Intruder, starring William Shatner as a white supremacist who stirs up chaos in a small Southern town. But he doesn’t mind, because he feels that the movie’s serious social message was worth losing money on. But Corman is 91 years old, and won’t be with us forever. That may be part of Corman’s motivation for selling his New Horizons Pictures library—a collection that includes 270 films and a sci-fi TV series—to Shout! Factory and China-based Ace Film. (Corman, … [Read more...] about Roger Corman sells the rights to 270 of his films to Shout! Factory
