A double bill from OperaVision’s most easterly partner, New National Theatre Tokyo. Puccini’s Suor Angelica concerns the power of a mother’s love and the devastation of losing a child. The second half of our evening sweeps away all sentimental drama, and there opens the world of a teapot dancing the foxtrot with a Chinese cup, an armchair courting a Louis XV chair, objects and animals joining forces against a naughty child. This is the world of L'Enfant et les sortilèges, the ‘fantaisie lyrique’ by Ravel.
