SUMMARY:Musica Antica Rotherhithe
DESCRIPTION:La Decima Musa\, or The Tenth Muse: Music from the Golden Age of Venetian Opera\, 1650-1660\nMusica Antica Rotherhithe present cantatas and extracts from operas written for Venice’s public theatres in the mid-seventeenth century\, many of which have lain unperformed for over 350 years. Using surviving payment records from venetian theatres\, Mezzo Camilla Seale and countertenor Tristram Cooke will be accompanied by an ensemble which matches a Venetian theatre band of the time as closely as possible\, comprising two violins\, bass viol\, two theorbos\, harpsichord and a pentagonal virginal. \nMusica Antica Rotherhithe was founded by Oliver Doyle and Jessica Eucker in 2016 with the aim of presenting affordable\, accessible concerts of rarely heard music from the fifteenth\, sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. Since then\, it has created a popular home for lesser-known repertoire in South East London; alongside regular concerts\, they have staged the anonymous one-act venetian comedy Lo Spedale (2018\, 2019 & 2024) and given several works their UK or modern premiere. These include Michelangelo Falvetti’s Diluvio Universale (2020); Domenico Belli’s Orfeo Dolente (2021); Alessandro Striggio’s Cicalamento delle Donne al Buccato (2024) and Antonio Draghi’s L’Humanità Redenta. Where modern scores for these works do not exist\, Musica Antica create performing editions complete with translations and critical notes\, which are made freely available online thanks to the Cavalli Charity. This concert has been made possible by the Continuo Foundation. \nDoors 7\, performance 7.30 \nProgramme \nFrancesco Cavalli (1602 – 1676) \nCantata: Se la giù negl’abissi \nTorindo\, ove s’in via\, from Orimonte (1650) \nDolce Frode\, from Eritrea (1652) \nAhi questo è il fine amaro\, from Erismena (1655) \nBarbara Strozzi (1619 -1677) \nEraclito Amoroso\, from Cantate\, ariette\, e duetti (1651) \nFrancesco Lucio (1628 – 1658) \nDonne belle e vezzose from Medoro (1658) \nDa Amorose Passione\, from Medoro (1658) \nPietro Andrea Ziani (1616 – 1684) \nRodope\, dove sei\, from Le Fortune di Rodope e Damira (1657) \nMarmi spietati from Le Fortune di Rodope e Damira (1657) \nEnsemble \nMezzo: Camilla Seale \nCountertenor: Tristram Cooke \nViolin: Andrew Taheny & Sophia Mücke \nBass viol: Harry Buckoke \nTheorbo: Kristiina Watt & Jonatan Bougt \nKeyboards: Luke Mitchell & Oliver Doyle

SUMMARY:Dore Gilbert & Sullivan Society - The Mikado
DESCRIPTION:The Mikado; or\, The Town of Titipu is a comic opera in two acts\, with music by Arthur Sullivan and libretto by W. S. Gilbert\, their ninth of fourteen operatic collaborations. The Mikado is the most internationally successful Savoy opera and has been translated into numerous languages and is one of the most frequently played musical theatre pieces in history. The Mikado is a satire of late 19th century British institutions\, society and politics. By setting the opera in a fantasy Japan\, an exotic locale far away from contemporary Britain\, Gilbert was able to satirise British politics more freely and soften the impact of his criticisms of British social institutions.

SUMMARY:CLASSICAL WEEKEND 2025 – Carmen
DESCRIPTION:As part of Classical Sheffield’s ‘Classical Weekend’ Festival\, Sheffield Philharmonic Orchestra joins forces with the Opera on Location\, Hallam Choral Society\, and the Sheffield Music Education Hub. Together we present Bizet’s Carmen—a thrilling tale of passion\, jealousy\, and revenge\, reimagined with a new English libretto in a semi-staged production for today’s audience. \nWhen Micaela’s life is thrown into turmoil as her boyfriend abandons her for another woman\, the drama unfolds like an operatic Line of Duty\, with corruption\, betrayal\, and murder at its core. \nThis gripping performance combines powerful opera singing\, a full orchestra and dynamic chorus\, to deliver an unforgettable afternoon of high-stakes passion and the ultimate fight for freedom. From the seductive allure of Carmen’s iconic Habanera to the rousing defiance of Escamillo’s Toreador Song\, Bizet’s masterpiece brims with unforgettable melodies\, building to a breathtaking finale.\n​\nUnder the bold direction of Rosie Kat and the masterful baton of George Morton\, this production lays bare the darker truths of human nature\, exploring the destructive forces of violence and obsession while keeping audiences captivated and entertained. Don’t miss this bold and exhilarating reimagining of one of opera’s greatest classics.

SUMMARY:THE MONSTER IN THE MAZE Music-Makers of Sheffield including\, Ensemble 360\, Consone Quartet\, Bridge Ensemble & Guests
DESCRIPTION:An opera production for the people of Sheffield and with the people of Sheffield. \n“Here they are – the children of Athens!\nThe hope of Athens\, the future of Athens!\nDeep in the maze\, the monster\, already\npaws the sand and tosses his horns…” \n      - libretto\, Monster in the Maze \nKing Minos has a labyrinth in his palace. Inside there lurks a Minotaur. This monster\, half man and half bull\, feeds on human flesh.  \nMinos decrees that the Athenians should provide a regular supply of their young people to be sacrificed to the monster. The Athenian hero Theseus steps in\, determined to enter the maze and take on the monster at its heart… \nJonathan Dove’s ‘The Monster in the Maze’ receives its Sheffield premiere on the iconic Crucible stage. Our most ambitious project to date\, this will be Music in the Round at its best: a bold collaboration\, forged in the crucible of creativity that is our City of Makers. \nCommissioned and first performed in 2015 by the Berlin Philharmonic and London Symphony Orchestra with Simon Rattle\, it was praised by the Financial Times as “an exhilarating\, visceral take on the ancient Greek myth”. \nThis amazing new production will showcase people of all ages coming together from across the city to perform alongside our professional resident artists and guests\, highlighting the best of music-making in Sheffield. \nAn epic story: millennia in the making and a fitting celebration for our 40th anniversary year! \nWith thanks to our funders: Blakemore Foundation\, JG Graves Charitable Trust\, Music for All & Scops Arts Trust.
