Pikovaya Dama (The Queen of Spades)

World-class opera on the big screen in high definition and Dolby Digital 5.1 sound, broadcast live from the Gran Teatro del Liceu, Bacelona.

Pikovaya Dama (The Queen of Spades) by Piotr I. Tchaikovsky, was commissioned by the Russian Imperial Theatres and enthusiastically received on its first performance at the Mariinsky Theatre in Saint Petersburg in 1890. It is one of several great Russian operas based on the works of Pushkin. However the author of the libretto, Modest Tchaikovsky, the composer's brother and close collaborator, made changes in order to adapt the work to the needs of French grand opéra. The action moves to the 18th century, during the reign of Catherine the Great, and features scenes of the city and imperial court of Saint Petersburg. But above all the leading character Hermann - a cynical, monochromatic German in Pushkin's version - acquires greater complexity under the influence of other figures of Russian literature, notably from the works of Dostoyevsky.

Tchaikovsky's brilliant score, which includes interesting references to 18th century music and Russian popular and religious music, serves the tragedy very effectively.

THE ESSENCE OF LOVE

A new comedy written and directed by Philip Ayckbourn

 

 

Photo: Darius Sutherland

 

A mother and her daughter; a father and his son find themselves on adjacent hotel terraces in Marrakech. As they settle in, we find there’s anything but love in the air for the four British holiday makers. But when the gift of a magical elixir finds its way into the water, unlikely passions take root. This promises to be no ordinary spell in the sun!

 

The Essence of Love is a warm-hearted look at the longings of the heart and what remains when infatuations have run their course.

 

Following a tour of Southern Europe, PCK Productions brings this lively and engaging comedy by Philip Ayckbourn (son of Sir Alan Ayckbourn) to Haslemere Hall 

Ticket Price £ 10 - £ 12

Habit of Art

Auden often said that metre and rhyme led him down unexpected paths to thoughts he wouldn’t otherwise have had, and in this respect versification and fornication are not so different.

Benjamin Britten, sailing uncomfortably close to the wind with his new opera, Death in Venice, seeks advice from his former collaborator and friend, W H Auden. During this imagined meeting, their first for twenty-five years, they are observed and interrupted by, amongst others, their future biographer and a young man from the local bus station.

You are a rent boy. I am a poet. Over the wall lives the Dean of Christ Church. We all have our parts to play.

Alan Bennett’s new play is as much about the theatre as it is about poetry or music. It looks at the unsettling desires of two difficult men, and at the ethics of biography. It reflects on growing old, on creativity and inspiration, and on persisting when all passion’s spent: ultimately, on the habit of art.

'In the end,' said Auden, 'art is small beer. The really serious things in life are earning one’s living and loving one’s neighbour

 

Running time 140min (approx) includes 1 interval of 20mins

'Die Entführung aus dem Serail' (The Abduction from the Seraglio) by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart was first performed in Vienna in 1782 when he was 26 years old. It is considered his first mature opera. It was a great success and became the most popular of all his operas in his lifetime. A splendid song to liberty, it condemns all forms of slavery.

Constanze, a noble Spanish lady, her English servant Blonde, and Pedrillo, the servant of Constanze's fiancé Belmonte, have been abducted by Moorish pirates and handed over to the Pasha Selim, who imprisons them in his seraglio. Selim soon falls in love with Constanze, while their coarse, cruel jailer Osmin, who is portrayed with grotesque traits, has designs on Blonde. Belmonte comes to their rescue. He manages to slip into the palace but, just as they are about to flee, they are caught by Selim, the counter-figure of the modern, enlightened monarch, who nevertheless pardons and releases them.

La Périchole

A fully staged production in Three Acts
of the opéra-bouffe by Jacques Offenbach

Few composers have so consistently enchanted the world as Jacques Offenbach. His genius for giving the man-in-the-street tunes easy to whistle must have meant that La Périchole was a subject dear to his heart - for it is the story of a street singer who charms her way into high society.
In La Périchole the composer takes us away from his beloved cosmopolitan Paris of France’s Second Empire and sets us down in far-away Peru - where - as we can expect - the grace and sophistication of his music is endowed with an exotic flavour. Prominent among the work’s favourite arias is Périchole’s touching farewell to her lover - known simply as The Letter Song.
Tom Higgins - Director of Music for Opera South - conducts the Guildford Philharmonic Orchestra and Ian Gledhill directs this new production.

If there's one band whose individual musical accomplishments have over the years gone from strength to strength, and yet who can encapsulate and keep alive the golden age of British popular music, then it has to be The Manfreds.

With their early roots in jazz and R & B, the calibre of these performers was always higher than their acquired pop status might indicate, but they still certainly knew how to produce a hit or six - in fact 15 UK Top 20 singles, 3 of them number ones (the shortest duration being 11 weeks), Do Wah Diddy Diddy, 5-4-3-2-1, Pretty Flamingo, Ha! Ha! Said the Clown, Mighty Quinn, Semi-Detached Suburban Mr. James …. the list is as long as it is impressive

Sweeney Todd - The Musical

Director Stephanie Goodfellow

Musical director Robert Douglas

 

Sweeney Todd has been described as melodrama; as comic horror; as revenge tragedy. None of these descriptions really does the show justice.

It is theatre of epic proportions; about fate, love, loyalty, cruelty and revenge. The protagonist is Shakespearian in his single-minded, psychotic desire for revenge. His partner in crime falls somewhere between Lady Macbeth and clown.
