The Light Princess, which Amos co-wrote with Samuel Adamson, is based on George MacDonald's 19th Century fairy tale about a girl who floats in the air. They have given the story a modern twist, examining the impact of grief and sexual awakening on teenagers. "Its been a completely inspiring project - it's pushed me," said Amos immediately after the opening night. The American singer-songwriter - whose 13 albums include Little Earthquakes and Under The Pink - has been working on the The Light Princess for more than five years. It had been scheduled to open in April 2012, but was postponed for rewrites at the suggestion of National Theatre boss Sir Nicholas Hytner. The Rocky Horror Picture Show: The Official Fan Site!

Once, in opposing kingdoms lived a princess and a prince who had lost their mothers. Althea, unable to cry, became light with grief and floated, and so was locked away. Digby became so heavy-hearted that he could never smile, and so was trained as a warrior.
Then, one day, he declares war. Althea is forced out of hiding and down to ground but, in defiance of her father, she escapes, only to encounter the solemn prince. The Light Princess brings together iconic singer-songwriter Tori Amos with playwright Samuel Adamson and director Marianne Elliott (Curious Incident, War Horse) in a spectacular coming-of-age story.

Mstislav Leopoldovitch Rostropovitch (en russe : Мстислав Леопольдович Ростропович), ( à Bakou[1], RSS d'Azerbaïdjan, URSS - à Moscou, Russie), est probablement le violoncelliste le plus réputé du XXe siècle. Véritable virtuose qui a marqué le paysage international de la seconde moitié du XXe siècle, il s'est également fait connaître en tant que défenseur de la liberté.
En tant que violoncelliste, il a suscité un nombre considérable d'œuvres (plus de cent premières) et a poursuivi sa vie durant l'objectif avoué de constituer à son instrument un répertoire dont il jugeait qu'il était jusqu'alors insuffisant (en comparaison de celui du violon par exemple).
