FROM HOME

As part of an on-going series, The Publication will be sharing enthusing reads to help you stay inspired during this unfamiliar period of quarantine. 

In times of self-isolation with events being cancelled and the government strongly endorsing social distancing where possible; naturally, we are increasingly aware of missing the epicurean pleasures in life. Accouter share their highly commended ways of hosting a lavish evening; helping you stay cultured, conversant and entertained from home. 

THEATRE ARTS

We may have become accustomed to staying in, however, now is a great opportunity to experience the arts from the luxury of your home. Online streaming of productions from theatrical performances, poetry readings to opera have become readily available. 

The Royal Shakespeare Company are offering a free 30-day trial with a catalogue of more than 400 dance, opera and theatre productions accessible to watch on-demand. Similarly, The National Theatre have launched a free streaming service in which they are showcasing a different live recorded performance each week. Polly Findlay's acclaimed conception of Treasure Island, featuring Arthur Darvill, screening until the 23rd April. 

One of Accouter’s favourite performances recently came from Andrea Bocelli on Easter Sunday. Andrea Bocelli's Easter concert streamed live with over 3.4 million watching live but has since been viewed by over 36 million globally. The heartfelt performance, Music For Hope - Live From Duomo di Milano, is available to watch here.
