White Stripes at the ROH
On Friday night I was at the premiere of a new ballet by Wayne McGregor which was set to music by Joby Talbot and the White Stripes. I must confess that I have only ever seen the white Stripes on the MTV Awards, or some such thing but I was very impressed with the music played for the ballet, all of which had been arranged for an orchestra. apparently there is a whole albumn of whites Stripes music arranged by Joby Talbot, which I must look into getting. The work itself, 'Chroma' was a triumph, as was the other premiere, 'DGV' by Christopher Wheeldon set to music by Michael Nyman. If you are in London next week go to see it. the top priced seats are under £40, I believe.
