Jose Carreras
Unsurprisingly, this one-off concert by one of the world’s most respected tenors sold out months ago. If you’re one of the lucky ones with a ticket then prepare for superb evening of music and song, with guest soprano Lisa Milne, the City of Glasgow Chorus and the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra.
Miss Saigon
The Broadway musical blockbuster ‘Miss Saigon’ returns to Boston’s Wang Center for a short run. The show, which was created by the ‘Les Miserables’ team of Alan Boublil and Claude-Michel Schönberg, has been to the Wang twice previously for sold out runs that have made it one of the most financially successful musicals to ever come to Boston. It tells the story of love affair between a young Vietnamese girl and an American soldier around the time of the fall of Saigon in 1975.
Fonfone
It was bound to happen. What was once a dark and cavernous heavy-metal bar located on a trashy street just behind the Plaça Reial, has now joined the ranks of the city’s trendy clubs. Sleek, geometric forms of colourful, translucent plastic shine a light of pleasing artificiality on the pretty young things that lounge around on the club’s 1970s-style plastic sofas. On the smallish dance floor in the back, things get grooving with funk, electro and breakbeat, though mostly the attractive clientele hang out and eye each other. Needless to say, the ghost of Ozzy Osborne has been thoroughly exorcised.
