Venue: Theatre Royal map Address: Jewry Street, Winchester, Hampshire, SO23 8SB Telephone: Box office: 01962 840440 Event: Hurn Court Opera Mozart's Don Giovanni - 7pm - Mozart's enduring masterpiece sets beauty and wit alongside menace and debauchery in this vivid re-telling of the eternal Don Juan tale. Through the arc of a single night, the opera tracks Don Giovanni as he seduces and manipulates without conscience, leaving rejected conquests and vengeful victims in his wake. Mozart's sublime music and glorious arias, in contrast, capture the humanity and strength of those he harms. Set in the seemingly glamorous world of the early 21st-century film industry, this production addresses issues that remain as relevant today as in Mozart's time. A cast of emerging young opera stars with the Hurn Court Opera orchestra bring the contrasting facets of this dark tale sharply to life as the libertine Don charts a fatal course to destruction. |

Her career in folk music started in the acclaimed ceilidh band Bedlam in her teens and took her all over the UK festival scene. She later became musician for Dog Rose Morris, appearing on Jools Holland, and still plays for one of the country’s premier rapper teams, The Newcastle Kingsmen. She sang in the much-missed a cappella group The Witches of Elswick and was a founder member of the BBC Folk Award-winning Demon Barbers. Since 2017 Bryony has been Senior Lecturer in vocals and fiddle on the Folk Music degree at Leeds Conservatoire. Alice Jones is a singer, multi-instrumentalist and dancer from Ripponden in West Yorkshire. Her background is deeply rooted in the English folk tradition and the music that she makes instantly reflects this strong influence. Alice sings mostly traditional songs accompanying herself on the piano or harmonium and sometimes only with foot percussion. The sensitive and intuitive arrangements of each song allow the stories to take centre stage and, inspired by her beginnings as a percussive dancer, they are loaded with a rhythm and energy that portrays her dancer’s heartbeat. Her distinctive voice and innovative style lends a fresh, modern perspective to traditional material and brings new life to old songs. |

Choir and associated orchestra Winchester Philharmonic Choir (the new name for Winchester Music Club) is one of Hampshire's longest-established choral groups with over 100 members and an associated orchestra. An independent charity run by its members, the choir benefits greatly from a close association with Winchester College, whose Master of Music, David Thomas, is their musical director. The choir enjoys first class facilities for rehearsal and the support of other music staff to facilitate sectional practise sessions for the various voice groups. Established singers who join the club will find an environment which allows them to participate at a high level in choral music - with at least one performance every year in Winchester Cathedral. |

Venue: Theatre Royal map Address: Jewry Street, Winchester, Hampshire, SO23 8SB Telephone: Box office: 01962 840440 Event: New Sussex Opera The Dragon of Wantley - 4pm - The Dragon of Wantley - Lampe's 1737 smash hit: a Yorkshire legend, a send up of Italian opera seria, with earthy satire, razor wit and delightful music in the style of Handel. A dragon is terrorising the Yorkshire countryside, devouring anything it meets. The only person who can save the locals is a drunken squire - if he can put down his pint. He agrees, but just as daunting as his monstrous opponent is the love triangle that ensues. Will the dragon prevail? And who will get their man? The Dragon of Wantley, the 1737 smash hit of the London season, parodies Handel's serious operas - as well as poking fun at the government of the day. The combination of Lampe's first-rate music (of which Handel himself approved) and wonderfully witty libretto by Henry Carey makes this opera a comic gem. Don't miss the rare chance to see this masterpiece of English comic opera performed with a traditional period orchestra as New Sussex Opera sets the opera in a South Yorkshire of the 1980's (against the background of the miner's strike). The recent recording of The Dragon of Wantley from the Brook Street Band and conductor John Andrews won BBC Music Magazine 2023 Award in Opera. |

Songs in musicals function in various ways and can express a range of emotions for the characters that sing them. Whether moments of joy, anger or despair, and everything in between, musicals allow characters to paint their emotions on a variety of canvases. In a stripped-back, concert setting, students will perform a range of songs drawn from across the musical theatre repertoire, illustrating that musicals can be so much more than frivolous entertainment. |
