But the young couple's happiness is short-lived, as the harsh realities of life soon come knocking. As intimate as it is sumptuous, La traviata features some of opera's most famous melodies, and is a star vehicle for its leading soprano role sung by Ermonela Jaho. In director Richard Eyre's world of seductive grandeur, the tender and devastating beauty at the centre of Verdi’s opera shines bright.

What happens when a cinema's Lord of the Rings marathon goes terribly wrong? At the local cinema, all hell breaks loose when the ushers misplace the DVDs of The Lord of the Rings trilogy – every single copy! With only the soundtracks left in hand, the team of hapless ushers must somehow improvise an entire three-film saga in front of a live audience. Get ready for an uproarious evening of comedy, chaos, and utter nonsense, as they attempt to recreate the epic tale of hobbits, elves, and orcs – without any visuals, any planning, or any clue what they're doing. Will Frodo ever make it to Mordor? Will Aragorn get crowned king? Will Gollum stop stealing the show? Will anyone even remember who’s supposed to be who?! It's a show that’s more fun than a barrel of hobbits, and definitely more chaotic than a Gandalf speech. If you've ever wanted to see Gollum fight a battle with sound effects, or Gandalf desperately trying to remember what happens next, then you're in for a hilarious treat!

With a mischievous plot hatched by a worldly friend, disguises, mistaken identities, and romantic entanglements spiral into a deliciously absurd tangle. Set to some of Mozart's most radiant and intricate music and sung in English to a translation by Amanda Holden, Così fan tutte blends razor-sharp wit with moments of truth and reflection in this vibrant production that proves Mozart knew the human heart all too well. English translation by Amanda Holden with additional material by the company. Venue's website:  theatreroyalwinchester.co.uk Venue's Facebook:   facebook.com/TRWinchester
