For the ultimate feel-good start to 2017, Manchester Camerata returns for a glittering waltz around Vienna with dancers from East Riding Youth Dance County Company.
Supremely talented soprano, Ailish Tynan, will bring the heady romance and humour of this beautiful music to life. She’ll be joined by conductor, Jean-Claude Picard, and Camerata’s Principal Cello, Hannah Roberts. Vaughan Williams’ sublime The Lark Ascending adds a slightly English twist to proceedings, performed by Camerata’s exceptional Leader, Adi Brett.
Highlights include operetta classics by Lehár and Strauss Junior, with the famous Blue Danube Waltz. A light-hearted and stylish event, you may wish to gift a ticket for friends and family this Christmas.
Pre-theatre lunch available at £11 please ask for details when booking your ticket.
The London Theatre Voices will be making a welcome return to Beverley to sing a concert of Gilbert and Sullivan music. The group have now been coming to Beverley for nine years performing Gilbert and Sullivan Evenings, Music Theatre Evenings, Christmas Music and various Opera Nights.
The first half will be devoted in particular to one of Gilbert and Sullivan’s most famous and funny Operas ‘The Pirates of Penzance’. The Poor Wandering One, the Sergeant with his unhappy lot and various Pirates will all be there to entertain you.
The second half will be a mixture of songs, duets and quartets from many of Gilbert and Sullivan’s other opera including ‘The Mikado’, ‘Patience’, ‘Trial by Jury’ and ‘The Yeoman of the Guard’.
Do come along and reacquaint or introduce yourself to the delights of Gilbert’s words and Sullivan’s music sung by the London Theatre Voices.
