GRIMMZ FAIRY TALES (Stream Theatre)****

 

By Alba

Link: https://www.stream.theatre/season/40

Available until: 31st March 2021

I’m much too old for normal fairy tales. I’m 9. Or maybe I’m not 9 yet but I will be. By the time you read this I might even be 10.

The Grimmz Fairy Tales have been written for people who are at least 8 so I don’t mind watching it. They do Snow White, Cinderella, Hansel and Gretel and Rapunzel in an hour. It’s a good length for a play because there’s less time to get bored.

The story of Cinderella has been mentioned on this blog quite a lot. It is a very popular story for a pantomime and there were a few livestreamed versions, including Covidella and the Masked Ball. Glyndebourne Festival Opera put their production of La Cenerentola on YouTube. Imogen reviewed Into the Woods, which includes Cinderella.

LA CENERENTOLA (Glyndebourne Festival Opera)****

La Cenerentola is Glyndebourne’s free Christmas offering on youtube and as it shares its story with one of the most famous pantomimes (Cinderella), I’m not sure there’s a better choice.

When I first started listening to opera (mainly because I couldn’t stuff my fingers far enough into my ears to block it out), I found the unfamiliar music and the foreign languages confusing. But once I did finally decide it actually didn’t sound that bad (especially not when my very talented sisters sang it) and decided to give it a proper go, it definitely helped to find out the story beforehand.

COVIDELLA AND THE MASKED BALL (Musical Theatre Academy/Stream Theatre)****

 

By Alba

Link: www.stream.theatre/season/5

Available until: 7th January 2021

You’re sposed to shout lots at pantomimes so I did. I shouted “Social distance you idiots” and “no touching” and “put your masks on AT ONCE” like I do at school. But it was a bit different because at school most people listen to me. My teacher called me a covid moniter and I said if she’s going to give me a job she got to pay me. I didn’t get payed but I did get to tell lots of people off.
