Al Teatro Regio va in scena Evita, il celebre musical di Andrew Lloyd Webber, su versi di Tim Rice, scritto nel 1978 e liberamente ispirato alla vita di María Eva Duarte de Perón (1919 – 1952), affettuosamente chiamata Evita, First Lady nell’Argentina degli anni Quaranta. Questa produzione di Evita è la prima in assoluto che vede impegnata dal vivo un’orchestra sinfonica: Sir Lloyd Webber in persona si è occupato della revisione e orchestrazione della partitura, con David Cullen. Per l’occasione l’Orchestra del Teatro Regio è diretta da David Steadman. Il Musical, in due atti, verrà presentato nell’edizione originale in lingua inglese con sopratitoli in italiano, una produzione di Bill Kenwright in accordo con The Really Useful Group. Al Regio, Evita è in cartellone dal 4 al 9 maggio, per un totale di 8 recite, sono queste le uniche date italiane del tour internazionale. Lo spettacolo ha la regia di Bob Tomson e Bill Kenwright, la coreografia di Bill Deamer, le scene e i costumi di Matthew Wright, luci di Tim Oliver, suono di Dan Samson.

Description

So, I got my new custom built Liberty Kit the other day and put it straight into the booth on the tour I am currently on (the Avenue Q U.K tour, hence there being a lot of other percussion in there too!). Since posting the announcement of my new endorsement with Liberty, I have had a tonne of messages asking me how this kit sounds. This kit sounds great, the build quality is awesome and the service from Andrew and the team at Liberty has been amazing. The specs are as follows: Kick: 20x18 Snare: 14x6.5 Hi Tom: 10x7 Mid Tom: 12x8 Floor Tom: 14x12 Having spoken to Andrew at Liberty HQ and explaining the kind of sound that I wanted (as well as the finish of the kit), we agreed to go with the following wood types for this kit: The kick and toms are a custom blend of Birch and Mahogany, with the Mahogany being the centre ply of each shell and all with sharp 45° bearing edges. The snare is a mix of Elm Bur with a Birch core. I hope you like the sound of these drums as much as I do!
