SUMMARY:Music in the Burnhams' Festival Week
DESCRIPTION:A week-long festival of classical music\, with internationally-acclaimed musicians performing in churches across the Burnhams and later broadcast on BBC radio\, will launch this July. \nFestival Week is a new addition to the calendar of annual classical concerts and recitals organised by Music in the Burnhams\, a charity which aims to throw off the elitist reputation of classical music and open the genre to all by bringing renowned musicians to beautiful venues across north-west Norfolk. \nDevised by Adrian Bradbury\, Artistic Director of Music in the Burnhams\, this inaugural festival runs from Sunday 19th July to Friday 24th July and sees the charity join forces with the Museum of Music History to celebrate composer Sir Julius Benedict (1804-1885)\, who was the conductor of the Norwich Festival for over 30 years. \nThe week will showcase music by Benedict\, his teachers Hummel and Weber\, his close friends Mendelssohn\, Moscheles and Liszt\, and a composer he once met in Vienna – Beethoven. \nIt will officially launch with a Choral Evensong at St Mary’s Church in Burnham Market\, on 19th July\, at 3pm\, featuring choruses and arias from Benedict’s cantata ‘The Legend of St Cecilia’ sung by St Martin’s Voices\, the choir of St Martin-in-the-Fields in Trafalgar Square\, London. This service will be recorded for broadcast as the Daily Service on BBC Radio 4 on St Cecilia’s Day to honour St Cecilia of Rome\, patron saint of musicians\, on 22nd November. \nThen from 20th to 23rd July\, All Saints Church in Burnham Thorpe will host daily lunchtime (1pm) and evening (7.30pm) concerts of chamber music. \nA highlight\, starting at 5pm on 22nd July\, will be a five-hour marathon ‘Monster Concert’ of ballads\, arias\, poems and instrumental turns modelled on Benedict’s legendary Grand Annual Concerts. Actor Dudley O’Shaughnessy from Netflix series ‘Top Boy’ will make a special guest appearance\, reciting the poem ‘The Uncle’ by Henry Glassford Bell\, a favourite of Benedict’s Monster Concerts. \nSensational young pianist Thomas Kelly\, a prize winner at this year’s International Liszt Competition in Utrecht\, will be resident throughout the festival.\nOther world-class musicians will perform\, including pianists Andrew West\, Peter Hewitt and Philip Carli\, clarinettists Emma Johnson and John Bradbury\, flautist Michael Cox\, oboist Gordon Hunt\, bassoonist Sarah Burnett\, horn player Ben Goldscheider\, violinists Ben Holland\, David Greed and Robert Gibbs\, violist Wenhong Luo\, cellist Adrian Bradbury\, double bassist Christopher West\, the Victoria String Quartet\, soprano Milly Forrest and tenors Lawrence Thackeray and Gwilym Bowen. \nThe London Chamber Orchestra under conductor Christopher Warren-Green will provide the finale on 24th July at 7.30pm – an evening concert featuring Benedict’s haunting second piano concerto\, Mendelssohn’s joyful Italian Symphony\, and Weber’s magical overture to Oberon. \nJulius Benedict’s colourful life will be the subject of daily talks presented by Dr Philip Carli\, a preeminent Benedict scholar from the Eastman School of Music in New York. From 20th to 23rd July\, at 11am in All Saints Church Sutton cum Ulph in Burnham Market\, Dr Carli will tell Benedict’s story with the help of diaries\, letters\, manuscripts\, and a piano for musical illustration. \nA festival café will operate throughout the week\, plus a cocktail bar in the evenings offering two cocktails specifically created for the festival: ‘The Gypsy’s Warning’ made with a base of Norfolk rum and its sister mocktail ‘The Lily of Killarney’ made with Norfolk punch\, both named after Benedict operas. \nTickets for Music in the Burnham’s Festival Week’s concerts can be purchased in advance at musicintheburnhams.com/festival-week. Dr Carli’s talks will be free to attend.

SUMMARY:La traviata
DESCRIPTION:Step into the glittering world of nineteenth century Paris as one of opera’s most unforgettable love stories takes centre stage. La traviata is Verdi at full brilliance\, weaving a tale that shimmers with glamour\, passion and heartbreak. At its heart is Violetta\, a woman adored by society yet living a life defined by fragility and compromise. When the earnest and hopeful Alfredo enters her world\, she dares to imagine a future shaped by love rather than expectation. Their romance is intoxicating\, but the world they inhabit is quick to judge\, and their happiness comes under threat from the very forces they long to escape. \nThis new production brings together a world class creative team and exceptional cast to tell the story with freshness\, colour and emotional depth. The Buxton International Festival Orchestra brings Verdi’s music to vibrant life\, making this a La traviata to remember and an unmissable highlight of the season. \nSung in Italian with English surtitles.

SUMMARY:The Marriage of Figaro
DESCRIPTION:Mozart The Marriage of Figaro\nWild Arts Opera\nOrlando Jopling musical director \nGet ready for an evening of sparkling tunes\, tangled romances\, and razor-sharp wit. It’s the wedding of the year but with mistaken identities\, cheeky servants\, and a Count with a wandering eye\, the ‘happily ever after’ might take a little work! \nOn the morning of their wedding\, Figaro and Susanna discover that their employer\, the amorous Count Almaviva\, has his sights set on the bride-to-be. What follows is one madcap day of disguises\, misunderstandings\, and ingenious plotting as servants outsmart masters and love triumphs against the odds. \nBursting with glorious melodies — from the fizzing overture to the heart-stopping beauty of ‘Dove sono’ and the jubilant finale — The Marriage of Figaro is Mozart at his most brilliant. It’s an irresistible blend of comedy and chaos\, set to music that’s simply impossible not to love. \nFast\, funny\, and fabulously full of heart\, this is proof that love (helped along by a touch of trickery) always wins in the end. \nSung in English in a new translation from Orlando Jopling and Danielle de Niese.
