See Tosca with your group There’s nothing quite like enjoying a musical treat with your group and a trip to the theatre could be just the thing to keep you all entertained this autumn. Club Together has teamed up with Ellen Kent and Amphitheatre Productions to offer four groups the chance to see their production of Tosca*. This show will be performed by a large company starring international soloists alongside the full Chisinau National Philharmonic Orchestra and Chorus, and directed by Ellen Kent with the amphitheatre set designed by London designer Will Bowen. Tosca is one of the most dramatic operas ever written, and portrays true love, torture and treachery, played against the backdrop of the Colosseum of Rome. Set in the era of the Napoleonic wars this spectacular amphitheatre structure heightens the corruption of the period with two of the best roles for tenor and soprano, plus a truly blood curdling villain for the baritone. Tosca is sung in Italian with English subtitles and boasts the tender moving arias, “Recondita Armonia”, “Vissi d’Arte” and “E Lucevan le Stelle”. We have ten tickets for four groups to the following venues… *
Bristol Hippodrome on Thursday 9th October 2008
*
Sunderland Empire Theatre on Thursday 20th November 2008
*
Manchester Opera House on Wednesday 26th November 2008
*
Liverpool Empire Theatre on Thursday 4th December 2008
Please state on the reader reply card at the back of the magazine which of the venues you would prefer, should you win. If you are not lucky enough to win this great prize you can still book tickets to see Tosca or other Ellen Kent productions on the following contact numbers...
