‘What is most impressive about Norburn's conception is the way various strata and elements combine and cohere so effortlessly. Past and present, truth and fantasy, real and imagined, come together in a tightly knit and intimate drama.’ Opera Today

Join us for the world premiere of brand new concert-play by Clare Norburn. Meet the colourful writer, Prosper Mérimée, whose novella Carmen was the basis for Bizet’s opera. Renowned for his myriad love affairs, in creating the character of Carmen he finds this time he has bitten off rather more than he can chew... In this event, Mérimée's experiences are intertwined with music from Bizet's Carmen and Spanish/Spanish-inspired music by Boccherini, da Falla, Granados, Ravel, Délibes and Albéniz, in arrangements by exciting young trio, Carmen Co.

TICKETS £15 | £10 Concessions

Marcela Roggeri and François Chaplin recreate the spirit of 1920s Paris with a concert of works including Ravel, Satie and Gershwin. ‘Les années folles’ (the crazy years) refers to the 1920s in France, when Paris became a thriving symbol of the avant-garde and was home to such iconic figures as Pablo Picasso, Sergei Diaghilev, Maurice Chevalier, Igor Stravinsky, Coco Chanel, Charlie Chaplin, Francis Poulenc and Erik Satie. Artists from all over the world gathered in the cabarets of Montmartre and Montparnasse, and many of the great works of music were premiered in Paris.
