EDITORIAL Christmas Thoughts I had thought of posting Cathy Buckle's letter as my final letter for 2019 but then I decided to tell you my Christmas 2019 experiences in Bulawayo instead. We had glorious rain last Monday and Tuesday, nothing can stop a Zimbabwean's joy during a rainstorm!! The pool traditionally went green, as it always does when it first rains, which resulted in thousands of Zimbabwe dollars worth of chemicals and much anguish on the part of my loyal gardener who feels personally responsible for the pool!! The purchase of Christmas hampers for all of our loyal retainers was a shock with the pricing but HeeHoo tells his mathematically challenged wife, to 'divide by ten and divide by two' that makes the price a tiny bit easier, if you are one of the fortunate ones!! The shops were buzzing, there were an abundance of goods on the shelves, but watching the desperate shopping baskets was a sad and dismal state of affairs. Most folk had a loaf of bread, a packet of milk, and maybe a small bag of sugar. Roller meal was hard to find, flour had gone from the shelves with the price freeze, and meat was an impossible price. There was a Christmas carol playing softly on the shop music system, and that was poignant, but very little evidence of Christmas was elsewhere. I saw the City Council men erecting a nativity scene in the Centenary Park, and a few of the usual desultory Christmas lights were strung across Leopold Takawira Avenue, which of course used to be Selborne Avenue. There was confusion earlier in the week when City Council electricians were thought to be thieves stealing the copper electricity wire, as has become the norm in our beleaguered country!! Power outages are horrific in Zimbabwe right now, we have had ten hour power cuts daily except for Wednesday, and my little beautician who works from the MacDonald Club was in tears as the cables had been stolen in her vicinity and they had had no power for four days!! Now this bloated plutocrat desperately needed some personal waxing and had to collect said beautician and transport her, precariously balancing a large pot of wax on her lap, to the house, where we could noisily 'wax by generator'. On Friday night much to the horror of the SPCA, the City Council had organised a fireworks display to entertain the local community, the display to take place at the Hockey Stadium just up the road from us. We have a Neighbourhood WhatsApp group, which is riveting as the wonderful people of Suburbs struggle to keep us safe and keep criminals out of the neighbourhood. Prior to the fireworks there was much advice on how to protect one's dog from the noise, advice like, the benefits of a doggie jacket, a few drops of 'rescue' medicine, turn the radio up loud, and close the windows. Bless our neighbours. We did not venture out the see the display, but listened closely. At 8 pm sharp we heard a few bangs, possibly ten maximum and then silence!! I wondered if perhaps the City Council budget had justifiably been very limited Thankfully the Rotary Club of Bulawayo organised the delightful 'Carols by Candlelight' ceremony at the Centenary Park on 7 December and there were three days of festivities at Nketa Park. Bless Bulawayo, you are a wonderful place to live in spite of the horrendous pot holes, and all of the sorrowful hardships our precious people have to deal with. 'May all the beauty and blessing of the Christmas season fill your heart with endless love and may the coming year bring you warmth, peace, love and joy into your life, as you've brought to so many. Merry Christmas'. ++++ Watchdog !!

Mrs R. Fisher Secretary ++++ THE ACADEMY AND PERFORMING ARTS BULAWAYO ALL EVENTS IN THE ROBERT SIBSON HALL THURSDAY 19 DECEMBER AT 7.00 P.M. HELLO DOLLY! 'Hello Dolly!' was released 50 years ago on 16 December 1969 In 1890s New York City, the bold and enchanting widow Dolly Levi (Barbra Streisand) is a socialite-turned-matchmaker. Her latest clients seeking assistance are the cantankerous "half-a-millionaire" Horace Vandergelder and a young artist named Ambrose (Tommy Tune), who is in love with Horace's niece. Dolly's scheming soon involves Horace's employees (Michael Crawford and Danny Lockin) as well as a New York hatmaker as she tries to cover up her own secret romantic designs. Wonderful musical, and Barbra is the perfect fit. Matthau is just as brilliant and silly as ever. [ Rotten Tomatoes]] The film is so bright and tuneful, it never lags. Bottom line: Streisand makes for a great Dolly, and this is a great film musical. [IMDb] Admission: $6.00 [free to Film members] FRIDAY 20 DECEMBER AT 7.15 P.M. TWO BALLETS BY SIR FREDERICK ASHTON: LES PATINEURS & TALES OF BEATRIX POTTER Created by Frederick Ashton for a film in 1971, 'Tales of Beatrix Potter' brings alive, with rich characterisation and invention, the famous images and stories of Beatrix Potter. John Lanchbery's music (incorporating mostly forgotten Victorian melodies) is utterly captivating and Christine Edzard's designs conjure up a lost England of field mice and Berkshire black pigs, of foxgloves and shady groves. Swept up in the ballet's childlike exuberance, the entire cast delivers outstanding portrayals of such colourful figures as Jemima Puddle-Duck, Jeremy Fisher, Mrs Tiggy-Winkle and the irrepressible Peter Rabbit. Ashton's warm and witty, yet demanding, choreography creates a piece of charm and grace for all ages. As a curtain-raiser 'Les Patineurs' evokes the Edwardian skating rink, with all its youthful charm and humour 'Tales is still that rarest of commodities - a ballet both kids and adults can enjoy.' [Guardian]. 'The complexity of the choreography and the brilliance of the conception (of 'Les Patineurs') take the breath away like sharp wind on ice. [Telegraph] Admission: $6.00 [free to Red Carpet members There will be a Christmas dinner available at 6.00 p.m. Roast chicken roast potatoes, creamed spinach and carrots. Sherry trifle. US$10.00 or the local equivalent - must be ordered in advance. NEW YEAR'S EVE, TUESDAY 31 DECEMBER AT 8.00 P.M. CINDERELLA / - NEW YEAR CONCERT 'Cinderella' is the 2015 Disney film directed by Kenneth Branagh and starring Lily James, Cate Blanchett, Richard Madden, Holliday Grainger and more. A girl named Ella, living in a cruel world filled with evil stepsisters and an evil stepmother out to ruin Ella's life, becomes one with her pure heart when she meets the Prince and dances her way to a better life with glass shoes - and a little help from her fairy godmother, of course. It will be followed by an outstanding Viennese New Year Concert of music by Johann and Josef Strauss conducted by Carlos Kleiber which begins with Nicolai's Overture to 'The Merry Wives of Windsor'. This 1992 performance has become the stuff of legend, and with good reason: 'Carlos Kleiber, perhaps the premier conductor of his generation, achieved an outstanding feat in grafting his extraordinary musical intelligence onto pure, unabashed glee to create what may be the finest single Strauss performance ever.' 'Cinderella' is a wonderfully realized family feature that retains the strengths of its source material while at the same time updating it for today's audiences. [Reel Views] The colour, vibrancy and unabashedly romantic heart explode off the screen in 'Cinderella'. [Hollywood Reporter] Many fine conductors have presided over these traditional Strauss tributes, but none with such elan as the late Carlos Kleiber. The music swings and sways in terpsichorean ecstasy. Kleiber appears blissful as he inscribes elegant arcs with his baton, and the players beam. [Gramophone] Admission: $6.00 [free to Red Carpet members Dinner will be available at 6.45 p.m. Roast pork, roast potatoes and vegetables. Ice cream and chocolate sauce. US$10.00 or the local equivalent - must be ordered in advance. THURSDAY 9 JANUARY AT 7.00 P.M. LOVE ACTUALLY Starring maong others Keira Knightley, Laura Linney, Martine McCutcheon, Emma Thompson, Rowan Atkinson, Colin Firth, Hugh Grant, Liam Neeson, Bill Nighy and Alan Rickman, ' 'Love Acrually' follows the lives of eight very different couples in dealing with their love lives in various loosely interrelated tales all set during a frantic month before Christmas in London. The movie's only flaw is also a virtue: It's jammed with characters, stories, warmth and laughs, until at times Curtis seems to be working from a checklist of obligatory movie love situations and doesn't want to leave anything out.' [Roger Ebert, Chigago Sun Times] Beautiful, sickening, deliriously funny yet uncontrollably upsetting, 'Love Actually' is the ultimate rom-com by Richard Curtis, who also brought us 'Four Weddings & A Funeral', 'Notting Hill' and 'Bridget Jones' Diary' [Metacritic]. Admission: $20.00 [free to Film members] FRIDAY 10 JANUARY AT 7.00 P.M. BEETHOVEN 250! Beethoven was born 250 years ago on 16 December 1770 and hism usic will featurethroughout the year. To begin, two of his most popular works and a much less well-known but fine chorakl piece. :Mass in C majot - 'Emperor' Concerto - Symphony No.7 Admission: $20.00 [free to Red Carpet members THURSDAY 16 JANUARY AT 7.00 P.M. THE FAVOURITE [postponed from 5 December] The Oscar-winning film is set in the early 18th century and England is at war with the French. Nevertheless, duck racing and pineapple eating are thriving. A frail Queen Anne (Olivia Colman) occupies the throne and her close friend Lady Sarah (Rachel Weisz) governs the country in her stead while tending to Anne's ill health and mercurial temper. When a new servant Abigail (Emma Stone) arrives, her charm endears her to Sarah. Sarah takes Abigail under her wing and Abigail sees a chance at a return to her aristocratic roots. As the politics of war become quite time consuming for Sarah, Abigail steps into the breach to fill in as the Queen's companion. Their burgeoning friendship gives her a chance to fulfil her ambitions and she will not let woman, man, politics or rabbit stand in her way. 'Weisz and Stone are both brilliantly witty and nimble, but Colman's performance is nothing short of sublime.' [New York Times] 'You know how some costume epics can be such a bloody bore Not "The Favourite". It's a bawdy, brilliant triumph. [Rolling Stone] Admission: $20.00 [free to Film members] FRIDAY 17 JANUARY AT 7.00 P.M. ROSSINI: L'ITALIANA IN ALGERI What happens when a powerful man makes moves on a strong, independent woman who has no intention of accepting his advances And how are things further complicated if he is Middle Eastern and she is Western and their cultures fundamentally clash Find the answers in Moshe Leiser's & Patrice Caurier's colourful production of 'L'Italiana in Algeri' with Cecilia Bartoli making her role-debut as the feisty feminist Isabella in Rossini's culture-clash comedy, filmed last year at the Salzburg Festival. The role of Isabella is sung to perfection by Cecilia Bartoli - a clever, independent woman with an adventurous streak. [New York Times] Superstar mezzo Cecilia Bartoli beguiles her way through 'L'italiana in Algeri'. She looks and sounds wonderful as Isabella, relishing both the languorous lines and coloratura of the role. [Opera Now] Nowadays Bartoli is a consummate comedienne whose work looks especially well on film. As for her singing, one would be hard-pressed to find a better-sung Isabella in a production of this much-revived opera that's as good as any of us is ever likely to see.'
