Performing Arts: Festival Almeida Summer Festival

  • Nocturneweb12_large
The Almeida Summer Festival is, as you would expect, a bit more high-brow than your standard fest fare, combining music, art, theatre and cabaret with a huge range of themes. New Haiti-based opera An Ocean of Rain features prostitution, tsunamis and hallucinations; Adam Rapp's one-man Nocturne explores the grief of a bereaved pianist, played by Peter McDonald; and The Theatre of Possibilities examines the life of artist Cy Twombly, whose work is currently on show at the Tate. Plus, there's music from revered chanteuse Barb Jungr and Dutch musicians Ensemble MAE.
