the most. 00:01:07.350 --> 00:01:09.920 Beloved of operas but not by 00:01:09.920 --> 00:01:18.460 directors it is you wouldn't believe it...it may be very harvest. 00:01:18.460 --> 00:01:22.090

00:01:36.250 magic flute that is an intelligent considerate and respectful 00:01:36.250 --> 00:01:42.410 consideration of the material but also very audience 00:01:42.410 --> 00:01:47.650 friendly and

it's really a thing 00:02:15.150 --> 00:02:17.770 My artistic 00:02:17.770 --> 00:02:22.760 attack on any production I do depends very much on what the original directors 00:02:22.760 --> 00:02:27.880 ...approach is I try to be true to try to 00:02:27.880 --> 00:02:33.010 directed the way he or she would have had they been there david. 00:02:33.010 --> 00:02:35.310 Is a director who allows great 00:02:36.530 --> 00:02:40.390 freedoms to his performing artists he loves them and he 00:02:40.390 --> 00:02:44.030 encourages them to make their own contribution? 00:02:46.410 --> 00:02:51.120 So, that's a lot of fun for me because it means that with this new cast. 00:02:51.120 --> 00:03:06.360 I can be I can do what he does. 00:03:06.360 --> 00:03:12.360 ...it fresh with a brand new cast of

Delightful scores in opera I mean in 00:03:28.040 --> 00:03:32.080 ...it's very special opera because is the first 00:03:32.080 --> 00:03:37.070 opera in our standard repertoire that was written for popular 00:03:37.070 --> 00:03:40.500 theater try to imagine a pen to mime. 00:03:40.500 --> 00:03:45.760 With moments of great philosophical depth. 00:03:45.760 --> 00:03:47.220 That's something 00:03:47.220 --> 00:03:51.810 we probably have never seen in this country but that's sort of what the magic food is 00:04:02.450 --> 00:04:04.740 Audiences can expect. 00:04:04.740 --> 00:04:09.600 A fun evening at the opera with beautiful music that also has 00:04:09.600 --> 00:04:14.180 food for thought people who don't particularly like high brow entertainment will love it 00:04:14.180 --> 00:04:19.530 because it's one of the least high brow offers but...broke people also. 00:04:19.530 --> 00:04:20.990 Find a lot of 00:04:20.990 --> 00:04:27.820 ...interest in it there's lots of content and if you if you look for magic flute is...the 00:04:27.820 --> 00:04:32.750 ...house from september fifteenth to the seventh of october right now 00:04:32.750 --> 00:04:36.350 that there's still plenty of some stuff going on in london 00:04:36.350 --> 00:04:41.010 not least of which is the national gallery...new...of bringing more than twenty full-scale 00:04:41.010 --> 00:04:46.450 reproductions of the museums highlights by the likes of petitioned...about joe gains 00:04:46.450 --> 00:04:53.170 bra and rembrandt outside to find the square went down to take a look. 00:04:53.170 --> 00:04:56.870 This is part of the inside out festival that...collaborating on with the with 00:04:56.870 --> 00:05:01.360 ...council cast...we've created the many national gallery on the north 00:05:01.360 --> 00:05:06.160 side of...square and the paintings have been selected all 00:05:06.160 --> 00:05:08.540 the nation's favorite the 00:05:08.540 --> 00:05:13.640 paintings that people we looked at in the millions during... 00:05:13.640 --> 00:05:19.200 were able to calculate exactly how many times people look to the anal field...highway in september and, 00:05:19.200 --> 00:05:26.930 it turned out the base of the twenty most popular painting so we decided to make many exhibition out. 00:05:26.930 --> 00:05:29.940 They...to scale so you'll be able to see these paintings here 00:05:29.940 --> 00:05:32.860 ...go into national currency the real thing. 00:05:32.860 --> 00:05:37.460 And, also reason for doing it is a cool...lock-down people weren't able to come into 00:05:37.460 --> 00:05:42.310 the national gallery but we did a lot of work online during talks between rules and...all kinds of ways 00:05:42.310 --> 00:05:46.610 and accessing the collections for this thing the really nice way of opening up to about the square 00:05:46.610 --> 00:05:52.390 and the relationship between the national gallery and this sort of center of london so the people that...the 00:05:52.390 --> 00:05:55.030 ...not wondering, wondering whether we were open up 00:05:55.030 --> 00:06:00.000 would see these paintings and it might encourage people to come in and say a special...other aspect of it apart 00:06:00.000 --> 00:06:04.920 from the actual display of these paintings is the idea of coming on this gets on 00:06:04.920 --> 00:06:09.890 the square so you can actually common sketch things whether it's the paintings themselves all the views around 00:06:09.890 --> 00:06:14.790 ...square think is really nice thing about looking and doing which is...what the national 00:06:14.790 --> 00:06:20.590 gary was set up to becertain anecdotally people have had to look at...paintings here 00:06:20.590 --> 00:06:25.850 forgot...didn't realize that we had them at the national...come in and have a look so, for example, 00:06:25.850 --> 00:06:30.840 in particular some flowers I think people didn't realize what other people have realized that we actually do have that 00:06:30.840 --> 00:06:35.380 and not collections...the other thing is that just listening to people as I've wandered around I 00:06:35.380 --> 00:06:40.960 could hear people talking about their favorite paintings all is the way that links the pulse 00:06:40.960 --> 00:06:44.730 than their family histories and how they've often come... when they were children came to 00:06:44.730 --> 00:06:49.280 see these paintings as a very nice things here...about some of them all I think 00:06:49.280 --> 00:06:54.220 noting towards people's sense of wanting to be back in contact with 00:06:54.220 --> 00:06:58.280 their friends and family say something like the anal...marriage, for example, 00:06:58.280 --> 00:07:03.000 where you have is about love and relationships but also the holding hands so I think the 00:07:03.000 --> 00:07:07.820 idea of being stalled the...of...as perhaps...and people towards paintings like that 00:07:07.820 --> 00:07:12.620 and then something like...for example, which is the...which became such a critical thing 00:07:12.620 --> 00:07:17.460 for people...it's not surprising that should be up there, you know, 00:07:17.460 --> 00:07:24.600 I think both in terms of being a famous painting...about people's reactions nature during the last two 00:07:24.600 --> 00:07:29.200 We also have open above this physical structure...the sketching we also have 00:07:29.200 --> 00:07:33.980 ...codes only to the painting so you can actually access up websites and there's various events and 00:07:33.980 --> 00:07:39.130 ...and things you can do activities you can do online as well and I think there is a 00:07:39.130 --> 00:07:46.550 lot going on in this particular season up to the second of september now...think of the week. 00:07:46.550 --> 00:07:50.700 So, here the natural history museum we used to looking at rocks to tell us about the 00:07:50.700 --> 00:07:55.210 ...history so that could be billions of years old and but this 00:07:55.210 --> 00:08:00.150 rock that we've got here is actually quite special because it tells us about human history of the 00:08:00.150 --> 00:08:05.030 ruckus...two hundred-years ago and it tells us about 00:08:05.030 --> 00:08:09.890 ...england and as you can see...lots of...all along the...if you 00:08:09.890 --> 00:08:14.150 ...placed and you can see what kind of like ninth-grade 00:08:14.150 --> 00:08:19.650 ...and...actually formed in...online...of settling 00:08:19.650 --> 00:08:24.040 ...when they were not mining they were blind. 00:08:24.040 --> 00:08:27.760 And, when they were minding their college at...the...and called 00:08:27.760 --> 00:08:32.050 ...block...sunday staying because you can see that days 00:08:32.050 --> 00:08:34.490 and night and sunday what? 00:08:35.570 --> 00:08:41.550 I mean I think it's amazing that we,... we only think about rocks something that that's been 00:08:41.550 --> 00:08:48.290 folders so many years...for what could have written...and neutral I'm 00:08:48.290 --> 00:08:52.730 subtle most interesting things about this problem I also think it's a really important times that 00:08:52.730 --> 00:08:56.910 practice...given...was form to hundreds of years ago and 00:08:56.910 --> 00:09:01.510 now we're thinking about rolling out...ending our relationship with 00:09:01.510 --> 00:09:07.430 ...so, it's a really important time to look back...history and see whether gang. 00:09:07.430 --> 00:09:11.680 Anyone who has been a teenage girl will recognize the urge is depicted in this week's 00:09:11.680 --> 00:09:15.750 film and anyone who is currently parenting one may want to 00:09:15.750 --> 00:09:22.410 knock down a couple of flaming some because before watching just a common it was a different time 00:09:22.410 --> 00:09:27.740 before social media mobile phones changed everything for affect 00:09:27.740 --> 00:09:34.510 everest in nineteen ninety six. 00:09:34.510 --> 00:09:37.620 Some of you

are worthy of malcolm talk to swear wrist but what I found touching about this film 00:10:13.580 --> 00:10:17.330 is the observation of how these young women who could bags of...bones 00:10:17.330 --> 00:10:22.530 as they are interact the changing our school uniform and toilets the inability to 00:10:22.530 --> 00:10:27.300 ...can...properly the wrong...pre loading the protective suspicion of an

are awfully hair-raising but these predators are ridiculous 00:10:38.090 --> 00:10:43.050 pathetic and everywhere I and you always know that this gang is ready to pile on the first 00:10:43.050 -->
