Carmen - Welsh National Opera
Wed 31st March 2010 - Wed 31st March 2010
Location: Milton Keynes Theatre
Cast includes Patricia Bardon as Carmen, Gwyn Hughes Jones as Don José, David Soar as Escamillo, Sarah-Jane Davies as Micaëla, Henry Waddington as Zuniga, Joanne Boag as Frasquita and Carolyn Dobbin as Mercedes.
Don José’s life was quiet, respectable and law abiding. From the moment he met Carmen his life has unravelled. He is intoxicated by her, blinded by jealousy, pursuing her across Spain and on the run. His jealousy will destroy him and if the cards are telling the truth, it will destroy Carmen too.
Bizet’s most famous creation is full to the brim with instantly recognizable music and paints a mesmerizing picture of a Spain teeming with fascinating characters. Carmen herself is one of the most charismatic and hard to resist characters in opera. For a century and a half audiences the world over have fallen in love with her. Patricia Bardon returns to this production as Carmen with Welsh tenor Gwyn Hughes Jones reprising the role of Don José.
Patrice Caurier and Moshe Leiser’s production distils Bizet’s masterpiece right down to its essence.
Sung in French with surtitles in English. Please note surtitles are not visible from all areas of the auditorium. Please contact the Box Office for further details.
Co-production with Scottish Opera.

Abduction from the Seraglio - WNO
Thu 1st April 2010 - Thu 1st April 2010
Location: Milton Keynes Theatre
Cast includes Andrew Kennedy as Belmonte, Lisette Oropesa as Constanze, Petros Magoulas as Osmin, Claire Ormshaw as Blonde and Wynne Evans as Pedrillo.
Belmonte’s lover Constanze is being held captive by Pasha Selim. If Belmonte is going to rescue Constanze he will have to get past the Pasha’s steward Osmin first. This may not necessarily sound like the premise of a comedy but The Abduction from the Seraglio is one of Mozart’s wittiest and most delightful creations.
The joyous overture suggests a boisterous sense of fun, which is carried right through to the final curtain with stratospheric arias and blissful ensembles along the way. BBC Cardiff Singer of the World Rosenblatt Recital Song Prize winner Andrew Kennedy performs the role of Belmonte.
James Robinson’s stylish production is irresistibly entertaining, setting the opera on the Orient Express of the 1920s en route from Paris to Istanbul.
Sung in German with surtitles in English. Please note surtitles are not visible from all areas of the auditorium. Please contact the Box Office for further details.
A co-production of Houston Grand Opera, Boston Lyric Opera, Opera Colorado, Lyric Opera of Kansas City, Minnesota Opera and Opera Pacific.

Tosca - Welsh National Opera
Tue 30th March 2010 - Sat 3rd April 2010
Location: Milton Keynes Theatre
Cast includes Alwyn Mellor as Floria Tosca, Geraint Dodd as Cavaradossi, Robert Hayward as Scarpia.
No-one is safe in the Rome of 1800. Under Baron Scarpia corruption and suspicion hang over the city, virtue and humanity are cruelly stamped out.
The world of opera singer Floria Tosca is about to be turned upside down. She is suspicious of her lover Mario’s fidelity. Little does she realize that he is at the centre of a struggle that will lead to tragedy. Soon she herself will become the object of Scarpia’s insatiable lust and she will be forced to ask what she has done to deserve this.
Once decried as a 'shabby little shocker', Tosca has become one of the best-loved of all operas. The combination of its fast paced plot, high tension and the poignancy of the great arias Vissi d’arte and E lucevan le stelle ensure that Tosca never fails to enthrall. Michael Blakemore’s period set production of this pulsating thriller promises to set your emotions on a knife-edge.
Sung in Italian with surtitles in English. Please note surtitles are not visible from all areas of the auditorium. Please contact the Box Office for further details.
Co-production with the State Opera of South Australia.

Enjoy
Mon 12th April 2010 - Sat 17th April 2010
Location: Milton Keynes Theatre
Alan Bennett’s rarely performed Enjoy shines a whole new light on Britain’s favourite playwright.
An elderly couple are living in the last back-to-back in Leeds. They’re about to be re-housed in a brand new maisonette, complete with waste-disposal unit and non-slip vinyl flooring. As the bulldozers rumble and homes tumble, a way of life is fast disappearing. But that’s where sentiment bumps into surrealism. When a sociologist comes to observe Wilf and Connie’s daily life, things take a distinctly peculiar turn...
This comedy stars renowned actress Alison Steadman (Abigail’s Party, The Rise and Fall of Little Voice and, most recently, Gavin & Stacey)and David Troughton (starring roles with the RSC, Dr Who and A Very Peculiar Practice).
This is a delightful and unexpected side of Alan Bennett: gentle nostalgia and wicked satire in equal measure combine to make this an unmissable evening.
'Richly enjoyable' The Guardian
'The writing, as you’d expect, is pin-sharp' Daily Telegraph
'A piece ahead of its time, downroarious and heartily recommended' Independent
'The one-liners are as blackly hilarious as anything by Joe Orton' Financial Times

Whistle Down the Wind
Mon 26th April 2010 - Sat 1st May 2010
Location: Milton Keynes Theatre
Starring G4’s Jonathan Ansell
This critically acclaimed production of Andrew Lloyd Webber and Jim Steinman’s Whistle Down the Wind is set to thrill audiences once again as it returns to Milton Keynes Theatre for one week only.
An extraordinary and uplifting tale about the transforming power of love, Whistle Down the Wind is based on the beloved sixties film starring Hayley Mills, and features numerous multi-award-winning songs, including Boyzone’s international hit, No Matter What.
The bright-eyed and youthful Swallow discovers a mysterious man hiding in her family’s barn. When she asks for his identity the first words he utters are, 'Jesus Christ'. While the rest of the townspeople are searching for a fugitive escaped from jail, Swallow gathers the town’s children who make a pact to protect their new found saviour from the cruelties of the outside world.
Truly inspiring, Whistle Down the Wind shows how powerful love can be when the innocence of childhood collides with the cynicism of the adult world.
Music by Andrew Lloyd Webber
Lyrics by Jim Steinman
Directed by Bill Kenwright
