A Haunting in Venice
Given a preference l much prefer seeing films in a cinema. There is something special about seeing them on a big screen.
Last week l saw A Haunting in Venice. Having said how much l like seeing films in the cinema l don't actually see many films these days. I like quirky, interesting films and am not a fan of the franchise films, but, if you are, good luck to you and l hope you enjoy them.
A Haunting in Venice is based, loosely, on an Agatha Christie novel called Hallowe'en Party. The setting has been changed from the book and l must say the scenery shot in Venice was stunning. I've only been to Venice once and it was grey, wet and miserable when we were there.
I'm not completely sold on Kenneth Branagh as Poirot. He also directs the film. It is a clever story and although the film has changed so much of it, it is still a good story told. The cast perform well together and it was worth seeing.

Swan Lake
What a triumph.
I love ballet and l love this ballet. Apart from one slight passage of a couple dancing out of time, and it didn't last long, this production was so good. The sets were stunning, the dancing sublime and the music soared.
Odette was danced by Amber Scott and Prince Siegfried was danced by Callum Linnane. Jarryd Madden as von Rothbart was good-heartedly booed at the end. This production was performed by The Australian Ballet. I don't think l will ever tire of seeing a corps de ballet moving as one across a stage.
It was the final ballet for this season and they saved the best 'til last.
Tchaikovsky wrote the music for ballet and with the original choreography by Julius Reisinger it is an enduring classic. Tchaikovsky had an unhappy life but l for one am so thankful for the beautiful music he left the world.
What a treat.
