Opera Night - Rossini's The Barber of Seville
Time: 7.30pm
OperaUpClose presented a sell-out
performance of La bohème at our last festival. This year we are
delighted to welcome them back to perform their version of The Barber of
Seville. Rossini’s classic comedy has been transported to Jane Austen’s
England, a world of rich, eligible bachelors, feisty heroines and
snobbish relations familiar from much-loved BBC costume dramas.
Obsequious Doctor Bartleby has designs on his ward Rosina, but she is
far more interested in the attentions of a handsome stranger (actually a
womanising Count in disguise). The whole affair is stage-managed by
Figaro, the barber who knows everyone’s business and can fix your hair
and love life with ease. A talented and classically trained cast,
directed by Robin Norton-Hale, bring this vibrant new English version of
this always popular opera to life. Accompanied by a virtuoso piano
score, this is a captivating piece of operatic escapism. The production
ran for a two week totally sold out run in London in January 2015.

100 Years of Jazz in 99 Minutes
Time: 7.30pm
The Jazz Repertory Company has been selling out this wonderful tour de force up and down the country. This evening’s performance encompasses the history of jazz from its beginnings in the blues and ragtime through to the present day. The six multi-instrumental jazz virtuosi create a highly entertaining journey through the decades taking in everything from New Orleans to bebop, swing to Latin, hot to cool, from Chicago and New York to around the world, with an A-Z of jazz’s biggest names: Louis Armstrong, Benny Goodman, Duke Ellington, Fats Waller and Joe Zawinul to just name a few. The music is interspersed with fascinating stories from the music’s history as well as the inimitable humour of the band’s musical director Pete Long. The band is comprised of Richard Pite on drums, sousaphone and bass, Georgina Jackson (pictured above) on vocals and trumpet, Pete Long on reeds, Enrico Tomasso on vocals, trumpet, and trombone, Dave Chamberlain on basses and guitars and Nick Dawson on vocals, piano and clarinet.
It is, quite simply, one of the most daring and brilliantly executed evenings of jazz entertainment doing the rounds today. - Jazz Journal
In Pete Long, reeds player, raconteur, bandleader and all-round wit, we have a genuine home-grown treasure... In another life, he might easily have been a vaudeville entertainer... - Clive Davis, The Times
