Shostakovich's The Nose in a full live-stream from The Royal Opera House, Covent Garden
Barrie Kosky's production of Shostakovich's The Nose was live-streamed from Covent Garden a couple of days ago and you can now enjoy it in all its surrealist glory for free on YouTube. Sometimes the only sensible thing to do in life is to watch a troupe of tap-dancing noses. The video is introduced by Chris Addison and the production stars Martin Winkler, Ailish Tynan, Helene Schneiderman, John Tomlinson and Wolfgang Ablinger-Sperrhacke. Aaaaa-tishoo!
