Noblesse Oblige are so unafraid of exploring new musical horizons, these xenophilous entertainers of worldly pop even make Dr.Who look like a mere pillock in a police box.
Music and madness have ever been allies: the composer, Robert Schumann, born 200 years ago this June, is our otherworldly tiptoeing genius plagued by celestial harmonies and voices from beyond the grave. It is surely no coincidence that his music ripples eternally through the filmscapes of ‘The Wizard of Oz’ and ‘Willow’.
My first memory of Fiona Shaw is as the repressed school ma'am lusting after Tom Selleck in Three Men and a Little Lady, a performance that at 3 I found deeply disturbing. There is an element of this nervous sexuality in her production of Elegy for Young Lovers, the fourth co-production between the ENO and Young Vic following Lost Highway, Punch and Judy and After Dido, which is showing at the theatre until the end of next week.
