Yagg, a great French website devoted primarily to gay and lesbian media, has put up another video about the Parisian production of A Little Night Music, this time showcasing director Lee Blakeley’s thoughts about the Stephen Sondheim-Hugh Wheeler musical, Greta Scacchi – who looks a bit like Liz Taylor in the infamous film adaptation in her wig – and musical director Jonathan Stockhammer’s musings on the depth of the score.
Some clips from the production in the video make it seem rich in its imagery, but dissonant in its visual styles. I wonder how – or whether – it all ties together. However, it looks incredibly evocative and atmospheric and I’d love to see how it plays.
