Rebecca Caine – Dividing Day

Join international soprano Rebecca Caine (Les Miserables, Phantom of the Opera, English National Opera, Opera North) on a musical journey of self-discovery with help from writers such as Bernstein, Bucchino, Guettel, LaChiusa, Sondheim, Weill and Yeston, with Nathan Martin at the piano.

Rebecca created the role of Cosette in Les Misérables for the RSC, was a celebrated Christine in Phantom of the Opera both in the West End and for the Canadian premiere, and recently played Iris Robinson in the critically acclaimed opera Abomination at the Southbank Centre and Magdalene in the musical Propaganda, both with the Belfast Ensemble.

“Spotless soprano” – Independent

“Caine gives a terrific central performance as Iris, sumptuously sung, acted with considerable subtlety” – Guardian

“The production is carried, brilliantly, by the soprano Rebecca Caine. Her Robinson combines burningly neurotic conviction with riveting vulnerability” – Financial Times

“The remarkable Canadian soprano Rebecca Caine is outstanding” – The Observer

“As played and sung by the superb Rebecca Caine, Robinson is far more interesting than a ranting caricature” – The Times

The Royal Opera: Andrea Chernier (Encore Screening)

At a glittering party in 18th-century Paris, the poet Andréa Chenier delivers an impassioned denunciation of Louis XVI. Five years later, the Revolution has given way to the Terror, transforming the power balance between Chénier, his beloved Maddalena, and Gérard, the man who could destroy him…

Jonas Kaufmann headlines David McVicar’s spectacular staging, under the baton of long-time collaborator Antonio Pappano – who conducts Giordano’s epic historical drama of revolution and forbidden love in his last production as Music Director of The Royal Opera.

Co-production with China National Centre for Performing Arts, Beijing and San Francisco Opera.

Hymns, Spirituals & songs of the old campground

The Grandsons & Daughters of the old Temperance Revival proudly present Hymns, Spirituals & songs of the old campground.

Through words and music, played on a variety of instruments, we tell the story of the rise and demise of Methodism and non-conformism. Many of the hymns we perform are no longer sung in churches, however, many have since passed into the folk tradition so, there is a chance you might recognise one or two.

As many of the songs have catchy sing-along choruses, audience participation is encouraged!
