Top 20 award for Cardiff care homes
WNO’s Summer Season ‘Vienna Vice’
Die Fledermaus
Three care homes in Cardiff have been named in the Top 20 most recommended care homes in Wales by independent care website,
carehome.co.uk. Regency House, Shire Hall and Ty Enfys managed by Hallmark Care Homes, won the Top 20 award out of 1080 homes in Wales. They also scooped the title in 2016 and 2015.
The residential, nursing and dementia care homes, which currently have a 9.9 and 9.8 recommendation rating, were recognised by the leading review website for care homes, for the number and quality of recommendations they received from residents and relatives in the last year. In order to review the home, visitors fill out a recommendation card, scoring the home on a range of areas from care to facilities and food and drink. Davina Ludlow, director of carehome.
co.uk said: “We feel the best people to rate a care home are the residents and
their families and friends. Their reviews reveal that many care homes are warm and happy places to live, where staff go that extra mile to ensure residents have a good quality of life and feel cared for. “Regency House, Shire Hall and Ty Enfys proved that they provide a high standard of care and we’d like to congratulate them on being a Top 20 care home in Wales! It’s a wonderful achievement to be recognised for being a highly recommended home by the very people you care for.” All three of the care homes facilities include; a cinema, hairdressers, café and therapy room as well as being surrounded by spectacular landscaped gardens. Ty Enfys, Shire Hall and Regency House Care Home is part of Hallmark Care Homes, the award-winning care provider established in 1997 with 16 care homes across England and Wales. For

Welsh National Opera’s Summer season offers a taste of one of music’s most seductive destinations, Vienna, with a celebration of the city’s musical culture and style.
The season includes a new production of Richard Strauss’s sumptuous comedy Der Rosenkavalier sung in German. Alongside Der Rosenkavalier is John Copley’s opulent, traditional and popular production of Die Fledermaus by Johann Strauss II.
These two famous works are the perfect opportunity for the Company’s new Music Director, Tomáš Hanus, to make his British operatic debut.
Soprano Rebecca Evans will be making a role debut in the iconic role of The Marschallin in the new production of Der Rosenkavalier.
The production will transport audiences to early 1900s Vienna in a production that revels in the humour and frivolity of the story, and is full of opulence, fancy frocks and lavish detail. Featuring a rich and romantic score by Johan Strauss, we join the characters at a masquerade ball as a plot around mistaken identity unfolds. Die Fledermaus will be sung in English with translation by David Pountney and dialogue by John Copley.
Der Rosenkavalier
The cast for Die Fledermaus includes Mary Elizabeth Williams in the role of Rosalinde who returns to WNO following recent performances as Lady Macbeth during the Company’s Autumn 2016 season. An immersive Virtual Reality (VR) experience will also launch in Summer 2017 as part of the Cardiff Festival. The experience is free entry and will be presented inside a shipping container situated outside Wales Millennium Centre. WNO hopes the experience will intrigue visitors and draw them into an immersive virtual world which will use music and film to re-imagine opera stories including WNO’s classic productions of Madam Butterfly and The Magic Flute. WNO will be working with creative agency REWIND to deliver the experience combining animation, music and technology to create a new artistic commission that will reach and engage new audiences that would not necessarily be familiar with the work of WNO.
Die Fledermaus will be performing at Wales Millennium Centre on 20 May, 7, 9, 11, 16 & 24 June, and Der Rosenkavalier on 4, 10 & 17 June. For further information or to book tickets visit
