San Francisco Opera: Show Boat
Thu, 2nd July, 2015 @ 19:00pm - 21:45pm
£8 – £12A true classic of American musical theatre, this tale of life on the Mississippi from the 1880s to the 1920s is both a poignant love story and a powerful reminder of the bitter legacy of racism.
Director Francesca Zambello’s grand-scale production is “a triumph – a stylish, fast-paced and colourful show that had the capacity audience on its feet, cheering loud and long” (Chicago Classical Review). The magnificent Jerome Kern-Oscar Hammerstein II score includes such classic songs as “Ol’ Man River”, “Can’t Help Lovin’ Dat Man”, “Make Believe” and “You Are Love”.
