So, over the weekend I came across the musical Elisabeth, in particular, the Takarazuka Revue Company's productions of it. It's basically about teh love/hate affair that the Empress Elisabeth of Austria had with the figure of Death, all narrated by her killer the Italian rogue Lucheni. I've sat and watched yesterday (and finished watchign the end today) of the 2014 production. All I can say is wow, this is brilliant. My favourite song is 'Yami ga hirogaru', which is sung by Elisabeth's son Rudolf and Death.
