Ustinov
MORE THAN JUST THEATRE …
Deborah Warner’s third and final season as Artistic Director this summer features an equally exciting and eclectic line up of productions.
The season includes DANCE and Echo and Narcissus, a brand new work by Kim Brandstrup completing his trilogy of works inspired by Greek mythology. THEATRE follows with a new production of Harold Pinter’s The Birthday Party directed by Richard Jones.
The RECITAL series returns led by the season’s Head of Music and Head of Music at the Royal Opera House, conductor and pianist Richard Hetherington, who performs Bach’s Ich habe genug with Mezzo soprano Catherine Wyn-Rogers. To close, countertenor Iestyn Davies with Sergio Bucheli offer an evening of Lute Songs including works of John Dowland.
The season ends with MUSIC and the return of internationally renowned tenor Ian Bostridge and pianist Julius Drake in a staging of Schubert’s Winterreise (Winter Journey) directed by Deborah Warner.
“One of the most exciting seasons in the country is to be found in one of our smallest theatres… all part of a season that feels like no other on the theatrical landscape” Metro
