Synopsis: | Miss Belle Canto invites you to take a peep through her magical opera glasses and join her on a journey through opera's greatest stories of passion and betrayal. With the help of her fabulous troupe of divas and deceivers, will our heroine make a choice between true love and duplicity, or accept that life really can be as complicated as an opera plot? From sultry sopranos to bewitching baritones, this opera-cabaret crossover features the brightest young stars of the London classical music scene performing excerpts from favourites including Carmen, La Traviata and Don Giovanni as well as lesser-known gems. | |||||

Notes: | A play by Timothy Knapman; With music by Arthur Sullivan and lyrics by WS Gilbert | |||||
Synopsis: | Gilbert and Sullivan are giants in the history of musical theatre. World famous in their lifetimes, they are, if anything, even more popular now. Their comic operas are timeless masterpieces of 'topsy-turvy': each a little world of enchanted nonsense, brimming with hilarity, satire and immortal songs.But their collaboration was, famously, a stormy one. This witty and elegant play explores what made them such a combustible mixture. As Sullivan calls upon Gilbert one last time, the two men recall their careers together, performing favourite numbers from a host of their works. | |||||

Synopsis: | Six fearless actors and a live orchestra squeeze murder, madness (and musical theatre) into this joyous and critically-acclaimed retelling of Shakespeare's greatest tragedy. It's the Bard's most famous play only shorter, funnier and with a few more show tunes. Boasting rapier-sharp wit and a sumptuous score, Hamlet! The Musical features all of your favourite characters, from the sweet Prince Hamlet himself, to crazed Ophelia and the treacherous Rosencrantz and Guildenstern. Join us for a gleefully inventive and uplifting evening of foot-tapping first folio frolics. See it or Elsinore! | |||||

Notes: | Original Playwright - Carlo Gozzi | |||||
Synopsis: | At his christening, an infant king is presented with two enchanted gifts. The first will lead him to true love. The second could destroy him. Granted the power to transform himself into any creature, the king is tricked and betrayed by his devious prime minister. To win back his crown and the woman he loves he must learn the true value of everything he has until then taken too lightly. Timothy Knapman's dark, delicious adaptation of Carlo Gozzi's fairytale conjures a winter wonderland bursting with playboy kings, lie-detecting statues, feisty maidens, second-rate sorcerers and bloodthirsty politicians. | |||||
