Aakash Odedra Company

After a terrible mistake leaves the ancient sage Chyavana blinded, the beautiful princess Sukanya finds herself marrying for the sake of her kingdom. As a pair of swaggering, meddling gods watch this unlikely union blossom, will love grow in the strangest of circumstances?
Taken from the legendary Sanskrit texts of the Mahābhārata, the story of Sukanya has been brought to life in this innovative production with music by Indian music legend Ravi Shankar and combines traditional Indian instruments with Western orchestra and singers.
This performance is directed by Curve Associate Director Suba Das and unites dance choreographed by the Aakash Odedra Company, production by the Royal Opera and the musicians of the London Philharmonic Orchestra.
Come and experience Ravi Shankar’s Sukanya. This special event combining myth, music and dance brings Ravi Shankar’s opera to life for the very first time.

“We’ll go up, you and me, together, hand in hand, no fear, no regrets.”
Y Tŵr explores the journey of two people bound together through life’s all too brief struggle, from youth to old-age, from love to despair, from desire to disillusionment. An intense and searching opera from the UK’s leading new opera company and the Welsh-language national theatre company, based on the work of one of Wales’ most important playwrights. Personal and universal. Particular and timeless.
Sung in Welsh with English surtitles.

Monday, May 22, 2017 at 7.30pm PSYCHO WITH ORCHESTRA Bath Festival
United Kingdom
Bath Philharmonia
A thrilling opportunity to experience Alfred Hitchcock’s masterpiece with a live orchestra. Bernard Herrmann’s score is integral to the spine-chilling atmosphere of the film, adding impact to the highpoints and maintaining an almost unbearable level of tension throughout. Conductor Jason Thornton and the Bath Philharmonia combined with a great film will provide a cinematic experience to remember.

Adès
Britten Sinfonia
The opening concert of a three year project between Thomas Adès and Britten Sinfonia, performing Beethoven’s Symphony Cycle alongside music by contemporary composer Gerald Barry.
‘Thomas Adès makes you hear things with which you thought you were familiar as if they were completely new’ wrote the Guardian’s Tom Service. In this opening concert of Adès's Beethoven Symphony cycle project with Britten Sinfonia, he sheds new light on these monuments of orchestral repertoire. Here Beethoven’s witty first symphony is paired with the virtuosic second, complemented by Gerald Barry’s powerful setting of Beethoven’s love letter to his ‘immortal beloved’.
