Akhnaten from ENO 26/3/16

I remember organising the filming of the excerpts for the South Bank Show - I dearly wanted to go along and watch filming but sadly had too much on my plate at the time. Just how much material was shot I can't remember. Sadly it doesn't seem to feature on YouTube, whereas many other vintage SBS programmes do.

I was working as an usher at ENO at the time and saw Every performance.

You didn't happen to notice if there was a chap up a ladder decorating the Colisseum during any of the performances, did you?

So maybe by some strange coincidence every member of this forum was in the Coliseum at the same time during this run... I also went to see it back then. I thought the idea and the production were terrific, ahem sorry I've said that already, I'll get my coat.

I think I might have preferred it to the production I saw.
