Event: The Magic Flute - Impempe Yomlingo
Date: Until April 12th 2008
For an evening out to the theatre with a thumping difference, guests staying at luxury London hotel the Milestone should pay a visit to the Young Vic.
South African company Portobello will be appearing until April 12th 2008 giving performances of Mozart's Magic Flute.
However those attending from nearby luxury London hotel the Milestone need not think they will be listening to any typical orchestra as Portobello performs with thirty singers along with marimbas, drums and local township percussion.
London Town notes that the plot's "eccentricities" are given particular quality and character by the African retelling.
The story tells the tale of Prince Tamino and his subordinate Papageno who use a magic flute to help discover true love.
Portobello's rendition is full of energy and the "compelling" rhythms evoke tribal mythology, it is claimed.
Those watching the show can unwind over drinks at luxury London hotel the Milestone after the performance.
