A BRIEF OVERVIEW OF WHAT’S ON DURING MARCH/APRIL 2016
LUNCHTIME CONCERTS A series of short recitals given by local musicians Co-ordinated by Helen Deakin
Thursday 10th March: “Not the 3 Tenors!” Liz Ferguson / Katrin Irvine / Rowena Marshall Dartmouth’s popular trio of 3 local pianists makes another appearance with a recital of solo and multi-hand piano works.
LIVE: BORIS GODUNOV Mon 21 Mar @ 7.15pm Richard Jones and Antonio Pappano renew their creative collaboration with this new production of Musorgsky’s historical masterpiece, here seen in its compact 1869 first version in seven scenes. The originality of the composer’s vision of Pushkin’s play about Tsar Boris Godunov – who reigned over Russia between 1598 and 1605 – was too much for the management of the Imperial Theatres, who demanded changes that were incorporated in the second version of the opera, in which Boris finally had its premiere in 1874. Many commentators, nevertheless, prefer the integrity of the original, which makes few concessions to operatic conventions. Keenly awaited will be Bryn Terfel’s assumption of the title role – one of the most complex characters in opera – while John Graham-Hall appears as the crafty Prince Shuisky and John Tomlinson as the vagabond monk Varlaam. Opera in four acts, Sung in Russian.
ROYAL OPERA HOUSE LIVE: GISELLE Wed 06 Apr @ 7.15pm
Giselle is the quintessential Romantic classic, a love affair that begins in the real world and continues beyond the grave. The ballet’s title role also offers one of the great challenges of the ballet repertory, as Giselle transforms from an innocent peasant girl, duped into love, to a forgiving spirit who saves her lover from death. For the ballerina this is a role of two contrasting halves: in Act I she must appear naïve and artless, her dancing alive with an earthy enthusiasm; in Act II she transforms into light and air, her dancing so ethereal as to seem weightless. In Peter Wright’s production, the dual aspect of the ballet is perfectly achieved: the first act dramatized in rich, naturalistic detail and the second with a spectral, moonlit beauty. A ballet in two acts.

THEATRE - UNTIL YOU HEAR THAT BELL BATTERSEA EXHIBITION ON SCREEN: PAINTING THE MODERN
GARDEN - MONET TO MATISSE Tues 12 Apr @ 7.30pm From the Royal Academy of Arts, London & the Cleveland Museum of Art Monet was an avid horticulturist and arguably the most important painter of gardens in the history of art but he was not alone. Artists like Van Gogh, Bonnard, Pissarro and Matisse all saw the garden as a powerful subject for their art. These great artists, along with many other famous names, feature in an innovative exhibition from The Cleveland Museum of Art and The Royal Academy, London. From the exhibition walls to the beauty of artist gardens like Monet’s Giverny, we take a magical journey to discover how artists used the modern
