Compassionate, heartfelt, strikingly dramatic and often witty, The Lion's Face is a musical tale of love, loss and family. The story begins with a man forgetting his own birthday: a trivial thing, but one which signals an irreversible return to childhood. Told through theatre and music, this is not only a highly original and richly-textured take on ageing, but a look at the incomprehension of getting old in the minds of the young. The Lion’s Face is a collaboration between poet Glyn Maxwell and composer Elena Langer and is presented by The Opera Group whose production of Kurt Weill’s Street Scene won the 2008 Evening Standard award for Best Musical.| 20 Jul 10 to 29 Jul 10 | Royal Opera House West End, Greater London Performance Details => Venue archive |
