NATIONAL THEATRE LIVE

Mrs. Warren’s Profession

By Bernard Shaw

Directed by Dominic Cooke

Five-time Olivier Award winner Imelda Staunton (The Crown) joins forces with her real-life daughter Bessie Carter (Bridgerton) for the very first time, playing mother and daughter in Bernard Shaw’s incendiary moral classic.

Vivie Warren is a woman ahead of her time. Her mother, however, is a product of that old patriarchal order. Exploiting it has earned Mrs. Warren a fortune – but at what cost?

Filmed live from the West End, this new production reunites Staunton with director Dominic Cooke (Follies, Good), exploring the clash between morality and independence, traditions and progress.

Mrs. Warren’s Profession

Gan Bernard Shaw

Cyfarwyddwyd gan Dominic Cooke

Mae Imelda Staunton (The Crown), enillydd Gwobr Olivier bum gwaith, yn ymuno â'i merch go iawn, Bessie Carter (Bridgerton), am y tro cyntaf erioed, gan chwarae rhan mam a merch yng nghlasur moesol tanbaid Bernard Shaw.

Mae Vivie Warren yn fenyw o flaen ei hamser. Mae ei mam, fodd bynnag, yn gynnyrch yr hen drefn batriarchaidd honno. Mae manteisio arni wedi ennill ffortiwn i Mrs. Warren - ond am ba gost?

Wedi'i ffilmio'n fyw o'r West End, mae'r cynhyrchiad newydd hwn yn ailuno Staunton â'r cyfarwyddwr Dominic Cooke (Follies, Good), gan archwilio'r gwrthdaro rhwng moesoldeb ac annibyniaeth, traddodiadau a chynnydd.

La Sonnambula

The Metropolitan Opera

Following triumphant Met turns in Roméo et Juliette, La Traviata, and Lucia di Lammermoor, Nadine Sierra summits another peak of the soprano repertoire as Amina, who sleepwalks her way into audiences’ hearts in Bellini’s poignant tale of love lost and found.

In his new production, Rolando Villazón—the tenor who has embarked on a brilliant second career as a director—retains the opera’s original setting in the Swiss Alps but uses its somnambulant plot to explore the emotional and psychological valleys of the mind. Tenor Xabier Anduaga returns after his acclaimed 2023 Met debut in L’Elisir d’Amore, co-starring as Amina’s fiancé Elvino, alongside soprano Sydney Mancasola as her rival, Lisa, and bass Alexander Vinogradov as Count Rodolfo.

Riccardo Frizza takes the podium for one of opera’s most ravishing works.

Yn dilyn cynhyrchiadau y Met o Roméo a Juliette, La Traviata, a Lucia di Lammermoor, mae Nadine Sierra yn ehangu ei repertoire fel soprano i gynnwys Amina. Mae’n ennill calonnau cynulleidfaoedd yn y stori deimladwy hon gan Bellini am ennill a cholli cariad.

Yn ei gynhyrchiad newydd, mae Rolando Villazón—y tenor sydd wedi cychwyn ar ail yrfa wych fel cyfarwyddwr—yn cadw lleoliad gwreiddiol yr opera yn Alpau'r Swistir ond yn defnyddio’r plot syfrdanol i archwilio dyffrynnoedd emosiynol a seicolegol y meddwl. Mae'r tenor Xabier Anduaga yn dychwelyd ar ôl ei ymddangosiad cyntaf clodwiw gyda'r Met yn 2023 yn L’Elisir d’Amore, yn cyd-serennu fel dyweddi Amina Elvino, ochr yn ochr â'r soprano Sydney Mancasola fel Lisa, a'r bas Alexander Vinogradov fel Cownt Rodolfo.

Mae Riccardo Frizza yn arwain un o weithiau mwyaf hudolus opera.
