Theatre Royal Events:
Sunday 28 April 2024
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.

Tuesday 30 April 2024
Venue: Theatre Royal map Address: Jewry Street, Winchester, Hampshire, SO23 8SB Telephone: Box office: 01962 840440 Event: University of Winchester Musical Theatre - Music and Lyrics - 7.30pm - the University of Winchester Musical Theatre students take to the stage, in a one night only event: Music and Lyrics. 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.

Older but not really much wiser, they are returning to what they do best; sitting in traffic jams wondering if a different route would have been better, and then in the evening, presenting their new live show. What have they learned from a decade of following the news for Mock the Week and The Now Show? What wisdom has experience taught them? And have they learned any new jokes? Let's hope so. They promise they have. Theatre Royal website: theatreroyalwinchester.co.uk Theatre Royal on Facebook: facebook.com/TRWinchester Comedy |
