Lesbos braces for more refugees as Turkey threatens to open borders
As Turkey says it will no longer stop refugees leaving for Europe, the Greek island fears more arrivals Indignation and a sense of preordained fate have gripped Lesbos as the Aegean island long on the frontline of the refugee crisis readies itself for possible new arrivals on its beaches following Turkey’s stated intention of no longer impeding access into Europe for migrants. Along the shoe-horn harbour of Mytilene it was business as usual as the sun went down: cafes were brimming, boats were docking after a day out on a silky smooth sea, local teenagers were getting into the spirit of a long holiday weekend. But it was hard not to miss the police in full kit, as soldiers and coastguard officials gathered outside a squat two-storey building on the harbour front. Inside, the minister for shipping, Yannis Plakiotakis, freshly arrived from Athens, was discussing contingency plans that in the words of one official will see “every boat and every patrol we have out on the sea”.

Denis & Katya review – Venables turns real-life tragedy into chilling opera
RIVERFRONT THEATRE, NEWPORT Music Theatre Wales’s production of Philip Venables and Ted Huffman’s opera gives horrible immediacy to their oblique take on a tale of transgressive teens Romeo and Juliet crossed with Bonnie and Clyde: Denis Muravyov and Katya Vlasova were both innocent and transgressive. Music Theatre Wales’s UK premiere of an opera based on the true story of two Russian 15-year-olds in the Pskov town of Strugi Krasnye, who over three days livestreamed their own demise on Periscope, is chilling. The standoff and police shootout was the stuff of tragedy. Yet the manner of composer Philip Venables’s and librettist/director Ted Huffman’s telling of their tale is unusual. Neither Denis nor Katya is portrayed: instead events are plotted – piecemeal and post hoc – by two protagonists playing the roles of journalist, friend, neighbour, teenager, teacher and medic. Mezzo-soprano Emily Edmonds and baritone Johnny Herford, already much acclaimed in last year’s Opera Philadelphia premiere, project these with objectivity and passion. Four cellists, one in each corner of the bare set, form a sort of Greek chorus. Continue reading...
