MAYERLING

As part of the international celebration of Kenneth MacMillan

quote:
Political intrigue or passions too violent to survive?

Whatever led to the double suicide of Crown Prince Rudolf of Austria-Hungary and his young mistress, Mary Vetsera, at Mayerling on 30 January 1889 will never be fully known. Framed by the bleak and secret funeral of a court cover-up, Kenneth MacMillan's penetrating interpretation of the events portrays a Prince trapped in an unwanted and loveless marriage, implicated in political intrigue and finally dependant on the solace of morphine.

Any comments on the casts? Cojocaru is a surprise choice to me for Mary Vetsera, and for first night at that, but I'm looking forward to seeing her with Kobborg anyway. But the cast I'm really excited about is Rojo-Cope. Can't wait!

I've only seen this on video, but the passion in the pdds must surely make or break "Mayerling", even more so than "Manon".

I'll wait to see what is said about the early performances of Cojocaru in this, but at this stage I ha' ma doots.

Benjamin/Tewsley could make some sparks fly.
