Dancing all night at the Coliseum If like me you grew up in the 1960s then the 1956 musical My Fair Lady will have made a profound impression on your youthful consciousness with the show playing in the West End for five and a half years and having the longest Broadway run of any musical […]

 Copper Chimney – Review

May 9, 2022 by Adrian York Leave a Comment

Copper Chimney int 1

Stylish Indian dining at Copper Chimney, Shepherds Bush It used to be that ‘smart’ Indian dining meant a trip to Chelsea or Belgravia to eat at Tamarind, Kahani, Zaika, Benares or Chutney Mary. The same food could often be found in Southall for a fraction of the price, but I guess that isn’t the point. […]

Atul Kochhar brings Indian fine dining to Beaconsfield  I’ve been eating at chef Atul Kochhar’s restaurants for many years now going back to his Michelin starred stints at Tamarind and Benares. Atul is one of the top and most progressive Indian chef/patrons working in the UK so we are always pleased to be invited to […]

April 20, 2022 by Adrian York 1 Comment

LOHENGRIN by Wagner; Royal Opera House; Covent Garden; London, UK; 16 April 2022; Heinrich der Vogler - Gábor Bretz; Lohengrin - Brandon Jovanovich; Elsa von Brabant - Jennifer Davis; Friedrich von Telramund - Craig Colclough; Ortrud - Anna Smirnova; Conductor - Jakub Hrůša Director - David Alden; Revival Director - Peter Relton; Set designer - Paul Steinberg; Costume designer - Gideon Davey; Lighting designer - Adam Silverman; Video designer - Tal Rosner; Movement director - Maxine Braham; © 2022 ROH Photographed by CLIVE BARDA

A triumphant return of the swan epic to the Royal Opera House It’s astonishing how art can be recontextualised as the world changes around us. When director David Alden’s staged Richard Wagner’s opera Lohengrin in 2018, it attracted some critical flack for what were regarded as clichéd references to Nazism. The Royal Opera’s first new […]

The Handmaid’s Tale – English National Opera

ENO Handmaid's Tale cowls

Margaret Atwood’s Classic Novel Brought to Vivid Life at the ENO I remember reading Margaret Atwood’s dystopian novel The Handmaid’s Tale when it was published in 1985. It was one of those books that was instantly recognised as a modern classic, a piece of speculative fiction that posited the conceit that the President of the […]

Mucho Mexican fun at Mezcalito

Mezcalito interior

Tasty Tacos and Sexy Sombreros Agogo I love sombreros and I’m not ashamed to admit it. I also love the blazing trumpets, the flamenco guitar strum and the impassioned vocals of Mexican mariachi music, But most of all I love to eat Mexican food. The opportunity to review Mezcalito, a fixture in Chelsea since 2018, […]

You wait ages for a bus, then three come along… With three new productions of Peter Grimes opening recently (at the Bayerische Staatsoper in Munich, the Wiener Staatsoper in Vienna and this Royal Opera House co-production with the Teatro Real, Madrid, the Teatro dell’ Opera di Roma and L’Opéra National de Paris), Europe is having […]

Top-end Japanese comes to Shoreditch

March 11, 2022 by Adrian York Leave a Comment

Issho-Ni BAR

A Japanese Pornstar at Issho-Ni Izakaya It only feels like a few years ago when progressive Japanese and Nikkei cuisine (the fusion dishes created by the Japanese diaspora in South America) could only be found in expensive locations in W1. So it’s exciting to see new and more affordable options opening up and being successful.  […]

Living La Dolce Vita at the Aleph Rome Hotel, Curio Collection by Hilton

March 9, 2022 by Adrian York Leave a Comment

The Aleph Hotel LOUNGE

Luxury, Art and More in Rome: Now that Covid-19 restrictions are lifting across Europe it seemed like the right time to travel again. I wanted to brush up on my Renaissance painters, Caravaggio, Raphael and Michelangelo in particular, so a trip to Rome to stay at the Aleph Rome was the order of the day. […]
