DORA THE EXPLORER Sat 17 - Mon 19 Aug

We’re making some changes at Theatre Royal Glasgow which we hope will make your visits to the theatre even more enjoyable.

Work is well underway to improve the theatre’s public spaces by building a dramatic new entrance that will house fantastic facilities and greatly improve access to all levels. With new lifts, spacious foyers, better bars and more toilets, we’re bringing the theatre firmly into the 21st-century.

DUNSINANE 5 Tue 10 - Sat 14 Sep SCOTTISH BALLET 6 THE RITE OF SPRING & ELITE SYNCOPATIONS Thu 26 - Sat 28 Sep

During the Summer of 2013, we’ll be changing the seating layout in the Stalls and Dress Circle to improve sightlines in the auditorium.

The Café Royal ‘wing’ of the theatre was demolished in January and, as the building work progresses, the distinctive curved shape and columns of the new building are already apparent. The work will be complete in time for the Commonwealth Games in 2014, and the theatre will be open as usual except for a short period from February - April 2014 to enable the final ‘joining up’ of the new extension with the current theatre.

BY DAVID GREIG DIRECTED BY ROXANA SILBERT Macbeth is dead, long live the King.

Under cover of night, an English army has swept through the Scottish landscape, killed the tyrant and taken the seat of power.

SAT 17 - MON 19 AUG Sat 4pm, Sun 10am, 1pm & 4pm Mon 11am & 4pm

Attempting to restore peace and put in place a new ruler, Siward, the commanding officer, is beset by a brutal guerrilla uprising and simmering discontent amongst his own inexperienced troops.

Struggling to grasp the alien customs and politics of this harsh country, he finds himself drawn towards Macbeth’s powerful widow in search of someone to share his burden of responsibility. Increasingly isolated from his own men and Scottish allies alike, his efforts to restore order appear futile as the situation spins out of control.

The compelling Scottish actress Siobhan Redmond brings Lady Macbeth electrifyingly to life in Dunsinane with the acclaimed Jonny Phillips as the increasingly unsettled English commander.

100 years after the original production revolutionised the world of dance and music, Christopher Hampson’s challenging reinvention of The Rite of Spring examines the themes of violence, obedience and domination in this now infamous story of remorseless human sacrifice. Stravinsky’s exhilarating score is performed live by the full Scottish Ballet Orchestra.

In stark contrast Kenneth MacMillan’s Elite Syncopations is an irresistible carnival of colourful characters, psychedelic body-skimming costumes and vibrant ragtime music performed live on stage by a 12-piece band.

Madama Butterfly

New production

Revival of the 2000 production

Sung in Italian with English supertitles

Sung in Italian with English supertitles

Sung in Italian with English supertitles

17th-century Venice – a city of darkness and shadows, where danger lurks in every alleyway and corruption is rife. In the centre of it all, a man in his element: Don Giovanni.

Don Pasquale, a reclusive old man with a penchant for cats, runs a crumbling pensione with a chain smoking chambermaid and a greasy cook for company.

Classic, timeless and stylish, Sir David McVicar’s Madama Butterfly has been a firm favourite since it was first staged in 2000.

Determined to keep his wealth to himself, Pasquale searches for a wife. But when he finds one, being married isn’t quite as straightforward as he expected…

Forgoing sentimentality to create a rich cast of characters with unflinchingly human characteristics, his production lays bare a hugely atmospheric, poignant story that still has the power to affect, over a century after it was first performed.

Mozart

Seductive, audacious, he lives life from one opportunity to the next. But will he eventually take things too far?

Director Sir Thomas Allen and designer Simon Higlett (The Magic Flute 2012) bring their hallmark theatricality to Mozart’s extraordinary score.

Dark, vivid, bursting with life, Don Giovanni is full-blooded opera at its best, combining exquisite music, powerful orchestration, intense drama and lightly crafted comedy.

Jacques Imbrailo, hailed by The Times as ‘the hottest young baritone on the block’ is Don Giovanni and beloved Scottish soprano Lisa Milne is Donna Elvira. Rising Italian star Speranza Scappucci conducts.

Supported by The Scottish Opera Syndicate and Scottish Opera’s ‘Play a Supporting Role’ Appeal

Donizetti

Director Renaud Doucet and designer André Barbe (Manon 2009) bring Donizetti’s quick-witted, comic masterpiece to life with typically colourful and quirky style.

Set in Rome at the cusp of the Swinging Sixties, the eccentric characters are given life in a world that is the perfect setting for a titanic clash of the generations. Bruno Praticò brings Italian authenticity to the role of Don Pasquale and internationally acclaimed tenor Colin Lee is Ernesto.

Francesco Corti conducts.

Fri 24 Jan 7.15pm Sun 26 Jan 4pm Wed 29 Jan 7.15pm Sat 1 Feb 7.15pm

Puccini

Puccini’s sense of drama is second to none and Butterfly sees him doing what he does best – painting beautifully exotic pictures in sound that are dramatic, often hauntingly lyrical, and full of emotion.

Korean soprano Hye-Youn Lee, one of The Independent on Sunday’s ‘Faces to Watch’ in 2013, and Anne Sophie Duprels (Manon 2009) share the role of Butterfly and José Ferrero (Tosca 2012) is Pinkerton.

Scottish Opera’s new Music Director Emmanuel JoelHornak (Hansel and Gretel 2012) conducts.

Now in its eighth thrilling year, the Agatha Christie Theatre Company presents a brand new production of the queen of crime’s classic time piece Go Back For Murder.

Carla Le Marchant has to live with a disturbing family secret; her mother, Caroline Crale, died in prison while serving life for killing her husband. But on finding a letter in which Caroline claims that she’s innocent, Carla becomes obsessed, determined to clear her mother’s name. Enlisting the help of Justin Fogg, the son of Caroline’s defense lawyer, Carla tracks down a number of people from her mother’s tragic past, only to uncover a shocking truth.

Suspects, secrets and suspense abounds in this new production of Go Back For Murder starring Liza Goddard (Bergerac, Give Us A Clue), Sophie Ward (BBC’s Land Girls, ITV’s Heartbeat), Robert Duncan (Drop the Dead Donkey), Gary Mavers (Peak Practice), Lysette Anthony (Three Up, Two Down, ITV’s Night and Day) and Ben Nealon (Soldier Soldier).
