С Новым Годом! (и немного о том, что я видел в театре)

[valchess]

Всех моих френдов и читателей - с наступившим Новым Годом! Здоровья, настроения и всяческих свершений!

Прошедший год лично для меня оказался весьма проблемным - что, наверное, видно и по достаточно скудному контенту моего журнала. Пожалуй, я не буду здесь распространяться на эту, вполне себе личную, тему. А подведу итоги (причем, не за год, а за полтора) только по одному, весьма специфическому и мало кого из моих френдов интересующему направлению - театральному (тем более, что я совсем было собрался завести специальный блог, этой теме посвященный - но пока воздерживаюсь).

Итак, как и в предыдущих таких случаях ( здесь и здесь) в этом посте я привожу - в хронологическом порядке для каждого из жанров (танец/балет, драматические спектакли, мюзиклы и опера) - список посмотренных за последние полтора года (август 2010 - декабрь 2011) в Лондоне спектаклей. Для каждого спектакля, помимо основных фактологических данных, я также даю свой личный рейтинг (пять звездочек - это максимум). Если вопреки моим ожиданиям кого-то из уважаемых френдов заинтересуют подробности какого-то спектакля из приводимого списка, то пожалуйста, спрашивайте.
