Debussy plays Debussy | Clair de Lune (1913)

As some of you may know l am learning the piano. The student who's lesson is before mine is 10 years old, and, l was told this week that this sweet little girl started piano lessons at age 4. I'm quite a bit older than that. I wish l had started earlier but it's never too late and l love my lessons. This is the piece l want to be able to play. Debussy was a wonderful composer and Clair de Lune is such  beautiful, almost ethereal music. This rendition is by Debussy himself. What a treat.

There is a murmur all around me and the voices sound happy. The lights dim, the voices quieten and the music begins.

Musical Theatre is back and oh how l have missed it. 

The long wait was worth it. PLOS production of Chicago is brilliant. The two main leads, Rachel Rai (Roxie) and Nadia Gianinotti(Velma) were in fine voice. In fact, the singing collectively was of such a high standard. 

The stage was pared back with the orchestra performing on scaffolding. 

I think performances are better with live music and this orchestra did not disappoint. PLOS have always staged high standard shows and they delivered with a bang.

Chicago is on at Frankston Arts Centre until 06 August. If you are in Melbourne definitely see this show.
