yeomen of the guard

[@andrewferguson5653]

I was curious about this production when I heard about it, how could Yeomen be updated to the 1950's? I would still prefer a traditional production.

[@FrancineAllen-nt4gb]

I like it. Maybe we could get one updated to the grim 2020s - we could use some humor right now.

Do you have ENO's iolanthe?

[@zelalife2559]

There are some clips on KZbin, but the full version has never been officially released.

I’m watching this again, because theatrically there’s so much more to like & admire than not, but I have to wonder: was the overture ruined in the theatre too, or was the video & VO for the tv audience? If it were done in a live performance, it displays a disrespect for the material, in an otherwise fascinating production.

[@treesny]

Clearly the video credits and VO were for the broadcast.

[@LeonoraBassisty104]

It was ruined indeed.

I’d also like to add my admiration for the Jack Point. His voice suits his character. A more operatic voice would get in the way.

[@tomshea8382]

Disagree. If you're doing opera, even light opera, the baseline for any character should be a competent reading of the score in the proper fach for which it was written.

[@LeonoraBassisty104]

His tempis are very slow and, while I do agree comic baritone shouldn't sound like an average opera singer, the performer should still be able to sing in rythm and in correct pitch. I much prefer Simon Butteriss as Jack Point.
