Sweeney Todd on anywhere in the UK

Does anyone know if a professional production is planned anywhere in the UK within the next year or so? - I have heard about the Cardiff - concert production. Will that be staged at all?

Therre has been talk of a production at the Royal Opera House in 2003 /2004. If you keep your eye on the late page of the web site we will bring you information when we know more.

Re: Sweeney Todd on anywhere in the UK

The production in Cardiff will be a properly staged production - albeit on what I gather is a tiny playing space. They have no orchestra, as I understand, and the show will be performed accoustically.

The cast sang at the Sondheim Study day on Saturday, and I have to say they sound very good. Obviously not a professional company - the National Youth Opera of Wales - but the quality of the singing was very fine, and you could hear every word!



I'm only kicking myself I can't go, as I'm booked for other things while it's on.
