Il Trovatore and Amadeus – Screening and
Casting
Twice in one recent week I’ve
sat in a cinema and watched live broadcasts. The first was from the Royal Opera
House in Covent Garden (Il Trovatore).
The second was from the National Theatre (Amadeus).
Both were excellent
productions (in the main), and I’m not going to add to the many ecstatic
reviews which each has garnered. I am writing about three things: race, age and
camera work.
