THE NIGHT MANAGER The Night Manager has been in the news recently as a second series has just been screened ten years after the hugely successful first. That was a visually stunning spy thriller based on a 1993 novel by John le Carre, a lush six-part serial that oozes pure class in every scene. Tom Hiddleston is Jonathan Pine, an ex-soldier and now night manager of a luxury hotel in Cairo. He's recruited by British intelligence agent (Olivia Colman) to infiltrate the inner circle of 'the worst man in the world', arms dealer Dicky Roper - played with glee by a career best Hugh Laurie. Things, as you'd hope, do not go strictly to plan.. Elizabeth Debicki, Tom Hollander and Alistair Petrie provide support for this thriller that looks every penny of its not insignificant pound30 million budget. - From the first few minutes, Director Susanne Bier and Writers Le Carre and David Farr draw the audience in and keeps us captivated with an enthralling tale. [Flick Direct] - Brilliant on every level: casting, acting, directing, production values, score, and above all, writing. I'd loved the John le Carre novel and never thought a TV series could do it justice. I was so wrong: The series is even better. [Metacritic] - Such fear, such dread, and such a dazzling script. [Daily Mail] - There's no denying the excitement of the end product, which pulls viewers along on a strong current of suspense and glamour and gives us two lead performances worth savouring. [San Francisco Chronicle] Admission: $3.00 FRIDAY 27 FEBRUARY AT 6.30 P.M. THE GONDOLIERS The Gondoliers, the twelfth of fourteen operas from Gilbert & Sullivan, has been an audience favourite since its 1889 premiere. The tunes are infectious, the romantic and family conflicts heartfelt, and the satire of rank and station constantly entertaining and relevant. This Scottish Opera co-production with the D'Oyly Carte Opera Company is created by some of the world's foremost G&S enthusiasts and experts. - The overarching feeling of Scottish Opera's The Gondoliers is joyful exuberance, a splendidly staged, marvellously sung and genuinely funny evening of Gilbert & Sullivan. [Opera Scene] - This Gondoliers is fresh, affectionate and intensely musical proof that these masterly comic operas can still hit their mark, even without reinvention. [Gramophone] - Scottish Opera has rounded up top Gilbert and Sullivan experts and enthusiasts to create a truly sumptuous production of The Gondoliers. Packed with cracking tunes, dances and a generous helping of sunny tra-la-las, it is a perfect choice to entice the public to the opera house. [Bachtrack] - Of all the Gilbert and Sullivan operas, The Gondoliers is arguably the most exuberant, the most musically inventive, and even the most topically satirical... Scottish Opera's staging of G&S's caper bursts with energy and boasts a cracking chorus and choreography.
