Singin’ in the RainDirect from the West End, this critically acclaimed production of Singin’ in the Rain is a smash hit with critics and audiences alike. It tells the story of the first Hollywood musical, when the silver screen found its voice and left silent movies – and some of its stars – behind.

This spectacular show is packed full of the charm, romance, comedy and tinseltown glamour of one the world’s best loved movies and features all the songs from the glorious MGM score, including Good Morning, Make ‘em Laugh, Moses Supposes and the classic Singin’ in the Rain.

Screen star Maxwell Caulfield plays studio boss R F Simpson and Steps and West End leading lady Faye Tozer is the ‘uniquely voiced’ starlet Lina Lamont in this classic musical, full of high energy choreography and sumptuous set design (including 12,000 litres of water!).

Singin’ in the Rain showers you with everything you could wish for in a hit musical!

Brassed OffAdapted by Paul Allen Based on the Screenplay by Mark Herman

With John McArdle (Brookside, Merseybeat) as Danny

We are proud to present the Touring Consortium and York Theatre Royal’s production of Brassed Off directed by Damian Cruden (Olivier Award-winner for ‘The Railway Children’).

It is 1992: Grimley Colliery faces the threat of closure and the future of the brass band seems uncertain. With the miners torn between redundancy packages and the picket lines, band-leader Danny’s hopes of winning the national brass band competition seem like a distant dream. But the arrival of flugelhorn-playing Gloria brings hope, romance and controversy to the Yorkshire brass band.

Featuring rousing live music, including Rodrigo’s Concierto de Aranjuez and Jerusalem, Brassed Off is a funny and heart-warming drama that reaches stirring heights as a locally-cast Brass Band performs the final scene (set in the Royal Albert Hall), live on the stage.

Passionate and inspiring, Brassed Off is a celebration of human endeavour and community spirit against all the odds.

‘A fine adaptation’ The Times‘A grand night out’ The Guardian

Boldly shattering the traditional concept of swans in tutus, and blending dance, humour and spectacle with extravagant award-winning designs by Lez Brotherston and lighting by Rick Fisher, Matthew Bourne has created a passionate and contemporary Swan Lake for our times.

Russian Patriarchate ChoirFounded by Anatoly Grindenko in 1983, The Russian Patriarchate Choir of Moscow consists of 12 members, including Grindenko. As well as performing both in Russia and internationally, the singers are dedicated scholars of the repertoire for male voices who led the way in the rediscovery of Orthodox Church music in the late years of the Soviet regime. At this time – when this music was far from approved by the government – the choir spent years decoding ancient manuscripts and giving the first performances of works that had lain in obscurity for centuries. With the collapse of the Soviet Union came the opportunity for them to perform internationally and bring this music to a wider public. ‘The fine male voices create a powerful atmosphere of energy and devotion, of fluency and a spontaneity that effectively blends refinement with rawness’ The Daily TelegraphTickets £22 – £14*

The Music of John BarryConductor Nicholas Dodd Presenter Margherita Taylor

Who can imagine James Bond without John Barry? Or the sweeping panoramas of Out of Africa? Instantly recognisable, Barry’s music has been an essential part of the cinema landscape since his breakthrough film Dr No. In a fifty year career his lush strings and heroic brass defined a series of glorious scores, with five of them winning Oscars. Classic FM’s Margherita Taylor introduces this evening of film and TV scores including Goldfinger, Midnight Cowboy, Body Heat, The Persuaders and Dances with Wolves, performed by the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra.

Sinfonia VivaConductor Andrew Gourlay Soprano Katherine Broderick Soprano Lydia Teuscher Tenor Andrew Staples

Nottingham Harmonic Choir

Rising star Andrew Gourlay conducts this concert of contrasts beginning with Sibelius’s atmospheric Pelléas et Mélisande which became one of his most popular works. Mendelssohn’s Lobgesang, or ‘Hymn of Praise’, was the composer’s great choral symphony. His most ambitious symphonic creation, it celebrated the 400th anniversary of the invention of the Gutenberg press and its role in the Reformation. Like Beethoven’s Ninth, it ends with an expansive final choral movement, the culmination of a journey from darkness to light.
