The Temptress
Narcissistic Elena (Garbo) drives every man she meets to despair. One of her victims, Manuel Robledo tries to escape, but this time Elena is in love and she follows him from Paris to his native Argentina.
Natalie Clein
Natalie Clein's exceptional musicality has earned her a number of prestigious prizes including the Classical Brit Award for Young British Performer of 2005, the Ingrid zu Solms Cultur Preis at the 2003 Kronberg Academie, and the BBC Young Musician of the Year aged just 16. Natalie will be accompanied by John Lenehan on piano.
“Clein plays everything with passion.”
The Times
The Times
“She is a performer of such great magnetism that she sweeps her audiences along with her, so much so that it is almost a shock when she stops playing and you find yourself back in the real world once more.”
The Oxford Times
“Her rhythmic subtlety and shading of tone proclaim the emergence of a truly compelling artist.”
The London Evening Standard
“She has the talent and approachability to reach out to, and grab, the new, young audience that this music desperately needs. If anyone can make a generation that has never seen du Pré fall in love with Elgar for the first time, it is she”.
The Independent
