Review: La Voix Humaine by Singapore Symphony Orchestra

Heartbreak expresses itself through dropped calls and missed connections.  Irrevocably changing the way humans live and communicate, the phone has simultaneously enabled and limited the way in which we interact with one another over the years, due to our increasing reliance on it for human connection. It’s no wonder then that it continues to be the subject of art and music, from Adele’s “Hello” to Francis … Continue reading Review: La Voix Humaine by Singapore Symphony Orchestra

EUFF 2018: A Meeting with Paavo Westerberg, Director of The Violin Player (Finland)

It’s not everyday one gets invited to Finnish Ambassador Paula Parviainen’s own residence for lunch. Arriving at the brightly lit apartment in the afternoon, we were impressed by the gorgeous view and aptly decorated walls with paintings by Finnish artists. During lunch itself, plates bearing Moomin characters were even used, very appropriate, considering how they’re some of the most popular and recognisable characters originating from Finland. … Continue reading EUFF 2018: A Meeting with Paavo Westerberg, Director of The Violin Player (Finland)

SIFA 2018: An Enemy of the People by Schaubühne Berlin (Review)

A contemporary version of Ibsen’s play effectively brings out its newfound urgency and relevance in our crazy, messed up modern world. Henrik Ibsen’s An Enemy of the People was initially considered one of his minor works in his lifetime. But in recent years, the play has seen an increasing number of stagings and new interpretations, and come to represent a disturbingly prescient rallying cry for the uncertain, messy … Continue reading SIFA 2018: An Enemy of the People by Schaubühne Berlin (Review)

The Russians know best how to present a timeless classic.  There are few ballets that have as much staying power, infinite mystery and enchantment as Tchaikovsky’s Swan Lake, and it stands to reason that there must have been something magical in its original staging that’s captured the hearts of so many fans ever since it first opened in Russia in 1877. So it is that the St Petersburg … Continue reading Review: The St Petersburg Ballet Theatre’s Swan Lake (co-presented by Sliding Doors Entertainment and Theatre Tours International)
