So where are you going to attend at the theater this weekend?
Here's a few possibilities to get your plans started!
Britain's Royal Opera House are making a performance of Britten's "Glorianna" available for the next 40 days from Friday the 24th (U.K. time).

You have a month more to watch the Royal Ballet's "Romeo and Juliet".

To celebrate William Shakespeare's birthday, the Globe Theater has released Emma Rice’s A Midsummer Night's Dream, and The Tempest with Roger Allam and Colin Morgan, will be available on BBC iPlayer from 23 April.

Speaking of "Romeo and Juliet", if ballet is not your interest, head over to the Globe theater for a dramatic performance of Shakespeare's play; until May 3rd.

However, if you really feel more like curling up with a book, try checking out the original text from 1562 that inspired Shakespeare's work.

This weekend's show from "The Show Must Go On" is the sequel to last weekend's "Phantom of the Opera", "Love Never Dies". This acclaimed production was filmed in my hometown Melbourne, at the wonderful Regent Theatre in 2012.

Which brings me back to the Australian Ballet, who have introduced a 2020 digital season, only available on Ballet TV to Australian audiences due to copyright restrictions.

For the international community, the Australian Ballet have made other materials available on-line. I have some of these on DVD; I can highly recommend these performances.

Check in with your local Arts institutions to see what they are doing and what may be available exclusively to their local community.

If you feel more like snuggling up in your favorite armchair with a cup of teacoffee/hot chocolate and something to munch on while you visit a museum, there is a lot available for you as well.
