Although Domingo was younger and Banackova looked more like the sweet and innocent young Madalena than the one played by Tomowa-Sintow in the ROH production, this production was not as good. It was not as tight and neat. The tempo set was far too slow for the time-period of the story. The stage setting was distracting. The lighting was too dark. Except Domingo, a natural actor who was always into his role and sings and acts with passion, none of the other performers came up with a convincing portrayal of the role he/she played. close

In the heart of the Balkans, where making music is an integral part of life, meet Pera, a wonderful old farmer who seems to know everything about everything; Josip, inventor of numerous new instruments; and the amazing Vera, greatest leaf virtuoso of them all. Three musicians – a glimpse into the unknown, all– but – lost art of leaf playing. Filled with stunning music as vital yet as fragile as the perishable instrument on which it's played, this lovely film is as much about joy, living in the moment, being alive, as it is about making music. Seeing it, you may just want to go find some leaves – and make some music yourself. - Charlie Cockey close

Free and a multi-talented artist, Habiba Msika was one of the brightest stars of her time, the twenties. Inspired by the real-life of the artist, the film evokes the last years from 1927. Punctuated by the jolts of a changing time, this tumultuous stage in Habiba Msika's life was branded by the love that Mimoun, a wealthy landowner, and Chedly a young poet from a good family, both dedicated to her. In Berlin, during a triumphant tour, she meets the oriental music star, the Iraqi Baghdadi, and is introduced to Parisian life by Peter, and a dandy of disconcerting charm. Back in Tunis, Habiba Msika's life is carried away by the frenetic whirlwind of success, controversies, and thwarted passions until the final tragedy of her death. close
