Alice’s Adventures in Musical Adaptation’.
Lezing door Dominic Broomfield-McHugh (van de University of Sheffield).
Locatie: Conway Hall, Holborn (Londen), 19.00 uur UK-tijd, 20.00 uur NL-tijd.
De lezing is zowel op locatie als online bij te wonen.
Korte inhoud: “Walt Disney spent nearly three decades working on Alice in Wonderland, struggling to decide how to turn Lewis Carroll’s episodic stories into a single two-hour story. It took twelve songwriters to write over forty songs – more than thirty of which were discarded – to create a satisfying musical adaptation, and the film had a mixed reception. Why was music vital to bring to life Carroll’s unique fairy tale world? Why was it so difficult? And how did the film eventually become a classic?”
