Preludes Music
2025-12-01 08:00 - 17:00 (Europe/London)
Preludes Music, the education arm of the Bristol Ensemble, continues its work in areas of Bristol that are experiencing high levels of economic disadvantage and aims to put music at the heart of every child’s education. By doing so we improve confidence, co-ordination, speech and language and benefit all other areas of their learning.
Preludes Music has been running successfully since 2009 in several schools areas of Bristol. It is the most extensive project of its type in the country and grew from discussions between Roger Huckle of the Bristol Ensemble, Professor Leslie Bunt of the University of the West of England and James Wetz a former Head Teacher.

Conductor Oliver Gooch

Designer Laura Stanfield

With the Bristol Ensemble
Sung in French with English surtitles
Church Farm, Wingfield
Bizet’s Carmen takes centre stage in this bold, immersive production. Reimagined for the turn of the twentieth century and infused with the playful spirit of French opéra-comique, this production reveals original, rarely heard music alongside the opera’s most thrilling and instantly recognisable arias, from the seductive Habanera to the electrifying Seguidilla and the blazing Toreador chorus.
From its scandalous 1875 premiere to its enduring status as one of the world’s most loved operas, Carmen burns with passion, jealousy and Spanish fire, offering a vivid portrait of Bizet’s fiercely independent anti-heroine. We are delighted to welcome back Alyona Abramova in this title role, following her acclaimed performance as Maddalena in Rigoletto (2025), bringing depth, magnetism and vocal brilliance to this unforgettable character.

If Opera - The Chocolate Soldier

Set Designer Elroy Ashmore
Lighting Designer Joe Price
Original Lighting Design Callum Macdonald
New English book and lyrics Jeff Clarke based on George Bernard Shaw’s Arms and the Man
New orchestral arrangement James Widden
With the Bristol Ensemble
Sung in English with surtitles
If Opera’s sparkling comedy this year is Viennese to its core – not Johann – but Oscar Straus, and his hilarious operetta The Chocolate Soldier.
Oscar Straus’s 1908 opéra bouffe is closely based on George Bernard Shaw’s classic anti-war play Arms and the Man. Shaw was very opposed to his play being turned into a piece of musical theatre, and refused to have anything to do with it. The Chocolate Soldier soon became a worldwide success, earning far more in royalties than Shaw’s celebrated play ever did.
Shaw’s work is now out of copyright, and Jeff Clarke has created a new version of the show, restoring much of Shaw’s witty dialogue, and re-instating his original characters.
