I told you the production of La Boheme at the Cock Tavern was good - well, it's just won the Olivier award for the best new opera production, against competition from Adriana Lecouvreur, which starred Angela Gheorghiu in November, co-produced by the Royal Opera House, Vienna State Opera, San Francisco Opera, the Liceu, Barcelona, and Opéra Bastille. The other Olivier contenders were Elegy for Young Lovers at the Young Vic; and A Dog's Heart at the London Coliseum. It's fantastic that the production by Up Close which was first seen by audiences of 35 at the Cock Tavern has beaten this weighty competition. Read more in the Stage
Now I am going to sign up for the Cock's Friends Scheme. Different levels of membership are chicks, chickens, cockerels and roosters. It's £30 to be a chick and you get 4 free tickets a year and a free programme at every show you see... up to roosters who pay £250 and get free tickets to every show, access to sold out shows and acknowledgment. So depending on how much you want to ruffle your feathers, get in touch at info@cocktaverntheatre.com
