ON Sunday October 15th BBC4 are broadcasting the recent Otello from the ROH which was the debut of Kaufman in the title role. While he’s not quite the Otello of my dreams it should look and sound great on TV.
There will be a season of documentaries on TV and Radio to follow. Details are sketchy at present.

When you know the background of the current boss one might reasonably expect a little more considering how the BBC used to be, but let’s be thankful for what we get.
As they are linking this to the new exhibition I thought the thread should too.

It’s had great reviews but the only person I know who’s seen it, wasn’t so impressed. I will go but my expectations aren’t that high.
Opera exhibitions don’t seem to be able to capture any of the vibrancy and excitement of what is after all a performance art.
At least it’s not just costumes and models of scenery, that’s been done to death.
We’ll see.
