CHRISTOPHER ISHERWOOD’S
MASTERPIECE A SINGLE MAN
This July, The Royal Ballet and
Factory International will present the
world premiere of a brand new
adaptation of Christopher Isherwood’s
masterpiece A Single Man playing at
Aviva Studios 2-6 July. The production
will then transfer to the Royal Opera
House’s Linbury Theatre from 8-20
September.
Award-winning director and
choreographer Jonathan Watkins is set
to transform Christopher Isherwood’s
classic novel into an original
contemporary ballet in collaboration with
singer-songwriter John Grant and
composer Jasmin Kent Rodgman.
John Grant has composed seven new
songs for the production, performed live
by him on stage at every performance
accompanied by five musicians from the
Manchester Collective and fused with
compositions by Jasmin Kent Rodgman.
Isherwood’s 1964 novel follows
George, a gay, middle-aged professor
navigating life in 1960s California.
Widely recognised as a pioneering work
of twentieth-century fiction, the novel
was adapted into an Oscar-nominated
film by fashion designer Tom Ford
starring Colin Firth.
the father who demanded perfection.
Resurrected by Constanze, the wife who
refused to let the world forget. Shunned
by society. Fuelled by brilliance. This is
the Mozart you’ve never met – raw,
human, electric. Saving Mozart is a bold
new musical based on a powerful true
story of passion, defiance, and music
that refused to die.
Earning multiple 5-star reviews and
widespread critical acclaim, the
production celebrated its world premiere
earlier this year in Gmunden, Austria just outside Mozart’s birthplace - in
association with Musical Frühling in
Gmunden.
