We had confirmation yesterday from Roger Waters' manager that there will be three performances of Ça Ira at the 12th Amazonas Opera Festival in Manaus, Brazil. They will be on the 15th, 22nd and 24th April. It is a fully staged Brazilian (Amazonas) production.
The location for the productions is the spectacular, 700-seat Amazon Theatre (Teatro Amazonas) - click thumbnail to the right. This is an opera house located in the heart of Manaus, which is inside the Amazon Rainforest in Brazil. Tickets for the three performances can only be obtained from the theatre itself. More information can be found here. (Our thanks to Elzira Miotto)

This month in Germany sees the release of two movies, very hard to find on DVD, that feature specially written music from Pink Floyd. The legendary Barbet Schroeder film More, and also La Vallee (Obscured By Clouds), get their European DVD release on March 20th.
A third important film from the same era, Michelangelo Antonioni's Zabriskie Point, has only ever been officially available on DVD as a limited Russian edition. That changes on April 17th, when it is released by Kabeleins, completing the trio neatly.
Great news for Floyd fans who have been searching for these on DVD! The DVDs can be ordered from Amazon Germany, who will ship them worldwide, through these links: MORE, LA VALLEE, ZABRISKIE POINT. (Thanks to Hans Gerlitz for the info!)

  The rumoured changes to Roger Waters' band for the 2008 mini-tour have this afternoon been confirmed by his manager. Due to Andy Fairweather Low and Katie Kissoon having prior bookings for April and May, the very able pairing of Chester Kamen (left) and Sylvia Mason-James (right) will be taking their place on guitar and vocals respectively.
Chester, of course, was part of Roger's 2002 touring band, and Sylvia has being a key vocalist for a number of top musicians, and took part in 2005's Live8.

Tim Renwick, an old friend of David Gilmour, and a key part of Pink Floyd's touring band from 1987 onwards, has a fabulous new album out. Privateer is a guitar-based instrumental album, showcasing his fluid, evocative style in a range of different tracks, some of which betraying the influence Pink Floyd have had on him!
The album can only be bought from his website - www.TimRenwick.com - where you can hear clips from some of the songs, and find out more about the man. Tim has been in touch with us, and we're very pleased to offer a copy of the album in our latest Brain Damage competition!
