Sunny Afternoon
the hit musical based on the music of The Kinks
With ‘“Triumphant. Show Stopping, Magic.”(Mail on Sunday), this “Kick-Ass. Indisputably Terrific” (The Times) musical tells the story of The Kinks who exploded onto the 60s music scene with a raw, energetic new sound that rocked a nation. Set against the back-drop of a Britain caught mid-swing between the conservative 50s and riotous 60s, Sunny Afternoon charts the euphoric highs and agonising lows of one of Britain’s most iconic bands, and their irresistible music that influenced an entire generation.

English National Ballet’s productions are always very lavish with wonderful sets and costumes.  They have a big orchestra so the music is wonderful. This is a world premiere, directed and choreographed by Tamara Rojo who is their artistic director, as she creates a new version of the classic 19th century ballet originally choreographed by Marius Petipa.  Tamara Rojo is set to adapt the three-act production for today’s audiences, revisiting the rarely performed work of the ballet canon which is not in any other UK dance company’s repertoire as a whole.  She will bring the story in to the setting of the Crimean war, drawing inspiration from the ground breaking spirit and work of the women supporting the war effort, including Florence Nightingale.  In the production Raymonda is recast as a young woman with a calling to become a nurse.  With a new narrative and characterisation bringing women’s voices to the fore, Raymonda introduces a new heroine in command of her own destiny. Speaking about the production, Tamara Rojo commented, “It continues to be a part of my vision for English National Ballet to look at classics with fresh eyes, to make them relevant, find new contexts, amplify new voices and ultimately evolve the art form.
“Raymonda is a beautiful ballet – extraordinary music, exquisite and intricate choreography – with a female lead who I felt deserved more of a voice, more agency in her own story. Working with my incredible creative team, I am setting Raymonda in a new context and adapting the narrative in order to bring something unique, relevant and inspiring to our audiences”.
“I have truly enjoyed delving into the creative process of adapting and choreographing a large-scale ballet and have been inspired by Florence Nightingale’s drive and passion.”
I hope those of you who are ballet lovers will fancy this and maybe some others too.
