WHAT’S ON IN YOUR COUNT Y CLASSIC OPERA
Senbla presents Opera International’s award-winning production of Aida featuring the Ukrainian Opera & Ballet Theatre Kyiv, with international soloists, highly-praised chorus and full orchestra this month at Malvern Theatre.
The show is a new spectacular interpretation of the classic opera and welcomes back the fabulous Korean soprano Elena Dee, French soprano Olga Perrier and Ukrainian mezzo-soprano Natalia Matveeva and boasts an impressive set.
In Aida, the splendour of Egypt is set against the grandeur of the Coliseum of Rome. This tragic story of war, jealousy and revenge at whose heart is the doomed love of the beautiful Ethiopian slave girl, Aida, and the Egyptian hero, Radames, is set against one of the greatest pieces of music Verdi ever wrote and featuring a temple dance, cascades of glittering gold and amazing fire performers. Sung in Italian with English subtitles.

SONGS FROM THE (TIM RICE) SHOWS
Internationally renowned lyricist Tim Rice is set to embark on a unique theatre tour in 2023, but who better to explain what the audience can expect than the eminent wordsmith himself?
“Circle of Words is a show in which I reveal all (well, nearly all) of the secrets behind the creation of some of the best-known songs featuring my lyrics. I have had the good fortune to work with some of the greatest composers of our time, including Andrew Lloyd Webber, Bjorn Ulvaeus and Benny Andersson, Elton John, and Alan Menken – without whose wonderful melodies I’d be at home watching television,” he says.
“You’ll probably know quite a few of the songs – and will therefore be relieved to hear I won’t be singing them. All musical aspects of the show I hand over to the outstanding Duncan Waugh Band and Singers. There will be plenty of stops in between the hits during which I’ll tell you how they happened and, in some cases, nearly didn’t. Actually, I might sing a little – but not Don’t Cry For Me Argentina.”
See Tim Rice and hear the songs from his shows sung live on February 10. For tickets visit
