volcanohunter Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 (edited) Today for the first time I was able to see an Australian Ballet production at the cinema, namely, Ronald Hynd's The Merry Widow. I was thrilled when the credits came up and I saw that Amber Scott was playing Hanna Glawari, opposite Adam Bull's Danilo. The film is also notable for the performances of Stephen Heathcote as Baron Zeta (very moving) and David McAllister as Njegus (very funny). The picture was a little grainy and dark, but that's nearly always the case at the closest cinema. It may be better elsewhere. More screenings tonight and on Sunday, September 30, at Cineplexes in Canada. https://www.cineplex.com/Events/DanceSeries I gather it is going into British and Irish cinemas tomorrow. http://cinemalive.com/event/australian-ballet-merry-widow Edited September 19, 2018 by volcanohunter Link to comment
