Barbican Centre
Barbican Centre is the largest performing arts centre in Europe. Located in the north of the City of London, England, in the heart of the Barbican Estate, the Centre hosts classical and contemporary music concerts, theatre performances, film screenings and art exhibitions. It also houses a library, 3 restaurants and a conservatory. The London Symphony Orchestra and the BBC Symphony Orchestra are based in the Barbican Centre’s concert hall.
The Barbican Centre is owned, funded and managed by the City of London Corporation, the third largest funder of the arts in the United Kingdom. It was built as the City’s gift to the nation, and opened in 1982, at a historical capital cost of £161 million (the equivalent to almost £400 million in 2007).
BALE DE RUA. May 21 - 31, 2009. From the moment the curtains opened, I was no longer in London - it was Brazil baby. Bale de Rua, or Street Ballet, was like no other dance company I'd ever seen before. The 14 men and 1 woman showcased a heady mix of capoeira, samba, hip hop and street dance that hypnotised you and made witnessing the journey of 3.5 million Africans to Brazil profound without being pious. There was no blame assigned, it was a celebration of the survival of the soul. This was storytelling through movement at its finest - one that evoked tears one moment and laughter the next. Judging by the 10 minute samba-induced standing ovation, the rest of the sold-out audience felt the same. I am not sure when Bale de Rue will again grace our shores, but whenever they do, get a ticket and get it early. You will not want to miss it.
"The House of Viktor & Rolf" is probably one of the best exhibitions I've ever seen! And then, there is so much more at the Barbican! Live music while you shop for example...
