SUMMARY:Tea-Time Concert
DESCRIPTION:Henry Mancini The Pink Panther\, Moon River\, The Impossible Dream\nAntonín Dvořák Piano Trio No.4 in E minor ‘Dumky’ Op.90 \nRoger Huckle violin\nHarriet Wiltshire cello\nPaul Israel piano \nThis recital brings together music from some very different sound worlds\, marking the 100th anniversary of the birth of the American composer Henry Mancini  with performances of some of his most iconic music including The Pink Panther\, and Dvořák’s Piano Trio. \nWritten in 1890-91\, Dvořák’s groundbreaking piano trio is rooted in Slavic folk music. Its six movements are based on dumka – Ukrainian folk songs – characterised by their abrupt changes from doleful laments to exuberant outbursts. Dvorák’s intention in incorporating this particular type of folk music was to create a work that spoke deeply to people and since its first performance in Prague on 11 April 1891\, the trio has been among the most successful of his chamber works. \nTea and home made cakes served at 4pm. \nTickets £15 (£13 for those on low incomes)\, available online from Eventbrite or on the door. Under 18s free of charge.

SUMMARY:Gavin Bryars Double Bill: Sinking of the Titanic and Jesus' Blood Never Failed Me Yet
DESCRIPTION:Bristol Ensemble performs The Sinking of the Titanic by British minimalist composer Gavin Bryars. The work was inspired by the story that the band on the RMS Titanic continued to perform as the ship sank in 1912 and imagines how the music performed by the band would reverberate through the water some time after they ceased performing. Composed between 1969 and 1972\, the work is now considered one of the classics of British classical experimental music. \nIt was first recorded in 1975 when it became the first release on Brian Eno’s Obscure Records. The programme includes Bryars’ arrangement of the religious song Jesus’ Blood Never Failed Me Yet which he heard in London in 1971 whilst working on a film about people living rough in the area around Elephant and Castle and Waterloo Station. In the course of being filmed\, some people broke into drunken song – sometimes bits of opera\, sometimes sentimental ballads – and one\, who in fact did not drink\, sang the song Jesus’ Blood Never Failed Me Yet. \nThe programme includes the world premiere of Marcus Davidson’s Felefantasi\, a work inspired by the Norwegian Fele\, the way it’s played (technique wise) and the music written for it. \nTickets £20 for adults\, £15 for students in full time education and under 25 year olds are available online.

SUMMARY:If Opera: Lucia di Lammermoor
DESCRIPTION:Gaetano Donizetti Lucia di Lammermoor \nDirector Thomas Guthrie\nConductor Oliver Gooch\nDesigner Ruth Paton \nWith the Bristol Ensemble and If Opera chorus\nOrchestral reduction supplied by Pocket Publications \nSung in Italian with English surtitles \nLibretto by Salvadore Cammarano\, based on Sir Walter Scott’s novel The Bride of Lammermoor\nFirst performed 26th September 1835 at Teatro di San Carlo\, Naples \nMadly in love… \nOne of the most revered of 19th century operas\, Lucia di Lammermoor follows the fortunes of Lucia (Lucy Ashton) sister of the Lord of Lammermoor\, and the enmity they have for the Ravenswood family. Lucia is in love with Edgardo of the Ravenswoods\, but her brother Enrico\, has other plans for her matrimony. \nThe opera is a gothic thriller\, complete with ghostly apparitions\, duels and acts of revenge. But it has become most famous for the elongated\, so-called ‘mad scene’ in which Lucia\, having murdered her imposed husband Arturo\, embarks on one of the most challenging and thrilling arias in the entire repertoire\, ‘Il dolce suono’. \nTo project the power of this opera and Donizetti’s beautiful music to full advantage\, we have reconfigured the seating so that the audience surrounds the stage and the opera is directed as an ‘in the round’ performance. This creates real proximity with the performance and an immersive experience for this most thrilling of dramas\, particularly for the front row seats surrounding the stage. \nWith a stellar cast directed by Thomas Guthrie\, an innovative and award-winning British director\, and conducted by Oliver Gooch\, Lucia di Lammermoor is the magnificent centrepiece of the If Opera 2024 season. \nTickets\n£20.00 – £115.00 Members\n£20.00 – £120.00 Non-members \nTickets on sale now at Bath Box Office online or by phone on 01225 463 362  \nChildren aged 12+ are welcome & under 18s go free (limited availability\, please enquire at Bath Box Office) \nNo dogs are permitted\, except for assistance dogs

SUMMARY:If Opera: Die Fledermaus
DESCRIPTION:Johann Strauss II Die Fledermaus\nLibretto by Richard Genée and Karl Haffner \nConductor Thomas Blunt\nDirector/Narrator Simon Butteriss \nWith the Bristol Ensemble and If Opera chorus\nOrchestral reduction supplied by Pocket Publications \nSung in English with surtitles \nFirst performed 5th April 1874 at the Theater an der Wien\, Vienna \nA farcical story fizzing with disguises… \nIn the repertoire of opera houses throughout Europe\, certain operettas have lost none of their sparkle. Chief among them is Johann Strauss’s effervescent Die Fledermaus\, with its seemingly endless parade of gorgeous melodies and stirring waltzes. The opera is a whirlwind of romantic ruses\, false identities\, practical jokes\, infidelities\, confusions and Champagne. \nThis is a Fledermaus with a difference. In this specially staged and costumed performance\, comic genius Simon Butteriss replaces the operetta’s original spoken dialogue with a racy and pacy narration that follows every twist and turn of this ludicrous tale. Witty\, clever and with knowing nods to the present day\, it is delivered with Butteriss’ customary flamboyance and panache. This unique presentation is “in short\, the perfect blend of Viennese Schlagobers and English salt” (The Times) and not to be missed! \nTickets\n£20.00 – £95.00 Members\n£20.00 – £100.00 Non-members \nTickets on sale now at Bath Box Office online or by phone on 01225 463 362 \nChildren aged 7+ are welcome & under 18’s go free (limited availability\, please enquire at Bath Box Office) \nNo dogs are permitted\, except for assistance dogs
