Shakespeare’s timeless tragicomedy of
obsession and redemption is reimagined
in a new production co directed by Rob
Ashford and Kenneth Branagh, following their
triumphant staging of Macbeth in Manchester
and Manhattan. Judi Dench will play Paulina,
Kenneth Branagh will play Leontes.
This is an encore screening from The Garrick
London by Kenneth Branagh Theatre.
Neil Delamere returns to Theatre at The Mill
with a brand new show brimming with hilarious
stories and incisive wit.
2015 saw the award-winning comedian
continue his star turn on the perennially popular
The Blame Game for BBC NI on TV and radio.
Neil also landed his own weekend national radio
show for Today FM. Now, however, he’s back to
his first love, telling tall tales and spinning sidesplitting yarns about the events of the last year.
encore screening
Time: 7.45pm
Almost 170 years on, Charlotte Brontë’s story
of the trailblazing Jane is as inspiring as ever.
This bold and dynamic production uncovers one
woman’s fight for freedom and fulfilment on her
own terms.
From her beginnings as a destitute orphan, Jane
Eyre’s spirited heroine faces life’s obstacles
head-on, surviving poverty, injustice and the
discovery of bitter betrayal before taking the
ultimate decision to follow her heart.
This is an encore screening from National
Theatre London.

(Georges Bizet)
Sat 16 Jan
Tickets: £20 & £10
(Concession – under 18 & students)
Time: 6pm
Theatre at The Mill
TURANDOT
(Giacomo Puccini)
Bizet’s gorgeous opera of lust and longing set
in the Far East returns to the Met stage for the
first time in 100 years. Soprano Diana Damrau
stars as Leïla, the beautiful Hindu priestess
pursued by rival pearl divers competing for her
hand. Her suitors are tenor Matthew Polenzani
and baritone Mariusz Kwiecien, who sing the
lilting duet Au fond du temple saint, which
opera fans know and adore. Director Penny
Woolcock explores the timeless themes of pure
love, betrayal, and vengeance in a production
that vividly creates an undersea world on
the stage of the Met. Conductor Gianandrea
Noseda brings his romantic flair to the lush
score from the composer of Carmen.
Tickets: £20 & £10
(Concession – under 18
& students)
Time: 6pm
Nina Stemme take the title role of the proud
princess of ancient China, whose riddles
doom every suitor who seeks her hand. Tenor
Marco Berti is Calàf, the brave prince who
sings Nessun dorma and wins her love. Franco
Zeffirelli’s golden production is conducted by
Paolo Carignani.
MANON LESCAUT
(Giacomo Puccini)
Sat 5 Mar
Tickets: £20 & £10
& students)
Time: 6pm
The Met stage ignites
when soprano Kristine
Opolais and tenor Jonas Kaufmann join forces
in Puccini’s obsessive love story. Opolais
sings the title role of the country girl who
Cultural Life
transforms herself into a Parisian temptress,
while Kaufmann is the dashing student who
desperately woos her. Director Richard Eyre
places the action in occupied France in a film
noir setting. “Desperate passion” is the phrase
Puccini himself used to describe the opera
that confirmed his position as the preeminent
Italian opera composer of his day. Met Principal
Conductor Fabio Luisi leads the stirring score.
MADAMA BUTTERFLY
(Giacomo Puccini)
Sat 2 Apr
Tickets: £20 & £10
(Concession – under
18 & students)
Time: 6pm
Anthony Minghella’s
breathtaking
production has thrilled
audiences ever since
its premiere in 2006.
One of the world’s
foremost Butterflys,
soprano Kristine
Opolais, is in the title
role. Tenor Roberto Alagna sings Pinkerton, the
naval officer who breaks Butterfly’s heart. Karel
Mark Chichon conducts.

(Gaetano Donizetti)
Elektra
(Richard Strauss)
Sat 16 Apr
Sat 30 Apr
Tickets: £20 & £10
& students)
Time: 6pm
Tickets: £20 & £10
& students)
Time: 6pm
Soprano Sondra
Radvanovsky takes on the
extraordinary challenge
of singing all three of
Donizetti’s Tudor queens
in the course of a single
season, a rare feat made
famous by Beverly Sills—
and not attempted on a
New York stage since. On
screen, in this climactic
opera of the trilogy, she plays Queen Elizabeth
I, forced to sign the death warrant of the
nobleman she loves, Roberto Devereux. Tenor
Matthew Polenzani is Devereux, and mezzosoprano Elina Garanca and baritone Mariusz
Kwiecien complete the principal quartet in the
bel canto masterpiece, conducted by Donizetti
specialist Maurizio Benini. As with the earlier
Anna Bolena and Maria Stuarda, the production
is by Sir David McVicar, who with this staging
completes an enormously ambitious directorial
accomplishment..
7
The genius director Patrice
Chéreau (From the House
of the Dead) didn’t live
to see his great Elektra
production, previously
presented in Aix and
Milan, make it to the
stage of the Met. But his
overpowering vision lives
on with soprano Nina Stemme—unmatched
today in the heroic female roles of Strauss
and Wagner—who portrays Elektra’s primal
quest for vengeance for the murder of her
father, Agamemnon. Legendary mezzo-soprano
Waltraud Meier is chilling as Elektra’s fearsome
mother, Klytämnestra. Soprano Adrianne
Pieczonka and bass-baritone Eric Owens are
Elektra’s troubled siblings. Chéreau’s musical
collaborator Esa-Pekka Salonen conducts
Strauss’s mighty take on Greek myth..

Mouthful, Northern Ireland’s finest comic, Jake
O’Kane is back!

Phoenix Dance Theatre’s Triple Bill 2016 showcases three engaging works in
celebration of their 35th anniversary.
Shakespeare’s timeless themes of desire, duplicity and unrequited love are
brought to life in Kate Flatt’s Undivided Loves. Fusing sound, words and dance,
Shakespeare’s most intimate, mysterious and radical sonnets are reimagined
to Adriano Adewale’s vibrant and percussive score. In contrast, Dutch/Israeli
choreographer Itzik Galili reworks his piece, Until.With/Out.Enough, which
explores the concept of the enclosed space that exists within our minds. Finally,
the quirky and playful Bloom by award-winning choreographer Caroline Finn
explores the darkly comic expressions of life and humanity.
Until.With/Out.Enough is a co-commission between The Royal Ballet and
Phoenix Dance Theatre. Undivided Loves is co-commissioned with Watford
Palace Theatre. Bloom is commissioned in partnership with the New Adventures
Choreographer Award.
Schools Workshops available on Tues 5 April 2016. School Workshop
and Show Ticket £10. Contact the box office on 028 9034 0202 for more

Starring Rose Henderson of Fair City fame and Isobel Mahon from Glenroe, this hilarious and fast
paced comedy is about life, love and dieting and how we all need to adjust the scales to find the
right balance!
Highly driven Pam and motherly Breda meet each week at their Easi-Slim weigh in clinic and strike
up an unlikely friendship while the voice of their Easi-Slim instructor booms from on high, reigning
over all. Through their bonding over dieting, Pam and Breda learn that things aren’t always what
they appear to be and that sometimes you already have the life you have been wishing for.

Grainne Duffy is a guitar player, singer
and songwriter from Ireland. She has an
understanding of the blues and she also brings
a big deal of soul to her music. Her voice and
playing are inspired by the wellsprings of
Memphis and Chicago, but Grainne also reflects
to rich varieties of the Celtic experience revealed
in her remarkable first album Out of the Dark.
Her debut album Out of the Dark (2007) led
Grainne to the stage of Glastonbury Festival (UK).
Her 2nd album Test of Time (2011) is highly
appreciated by both blues lovers and critics.
Grainne’s exceptional voice and guitar playing
has been noted as far afield as Canada and in
2015 Grainne played at the Lighthouse Blues
Festival in Ontario State and Tremblant Int’l
Blues Festival in Quebec.

to Dusty Springfield and Imelda May and has
a rapidly increasing local and international

and compelling. She is the eldest daughter of

Time: 8pm
Saviour or witch? Love her or hate her? Not for Pip to decide, only to portray.
She divided the nation like no other politician, she changed the face of
British, perhaps world politics forever and the effects of her influence and
policies are still felt today. Hear her philosophies, her inspiration and her
logic, and then take the chance to question her.
Pip is one of the world’s leading performers of solo theatre, known
internationally for his spellbinding portrayals of Adolf, Churchill, Dickens,
Casanova, Chaplin, Hancock and many others. ‘Maggie’ is probably Pip’s
greatest challenge yet. Pip not only becomes Margaret Thatcher but risks
taking audience questions, and answering them as Maggie!

What was sometimes commonly called a
“slide-show” is transformed by the audio-visual
art. Each “show” comprises the production of
a sequence of still pictures accompanied by a
sound-track.
It is difficult to adequately describe the experience
of seeing an A-V sequence. Suffice to say that
you will never think of a “slide-show” again in
the same way. Why not come along – it’s the best
