At one of her lavish parties, celebrated Parisan courtesan Violetta is introduced to Alfredo Germont. The two fall madly in love, and though hesitant to leave behind her life of luxury and freedom, Violetta follows her heart. But the young couple’s happiness is short-lived, as the harsh realities of life soon come knocking.

As intimate as it is sumptuous, La traviata features some of opera’s most famous melodies, and is a star vehicle for its leading soprano role sung by Ermonela Jaho. In director Richard Eyre’s world of seductive grandeur, the tender and devastating beauty at the centre of Verdi’s opera shines bright.

Finn den Hertog directs the provocative and entertaining production filmed live from @sohoplace on London’s West End.

“There was one small problem - neither of us wanted to be Paul Simon. To make it work one of us was going to have to get a hair cut. And that simply wasn’t going to happen. The novel solution…we decided to call ourselves The Garfunkels.”

Not many 20-year-old lads think of starting a Simon & Garfunkel tribute act — but Suffolk-based musicians Tom Mumford and Angelo Littler did exactly that.

The Garfunkels’ set is a celebration of Simon & Garfunkel’s music and story. With rich harmonies and engaging storytelling you can expect to hear the most iconic songs over the years - from their first album Wednesday Morning 3AM through to the  bestselling, award winning Bridge Over Troubled Water.  

This January, The Garfunkels are very excited to bring their show to The Riverside stage in their hometown of Woodbridge.

Acclaimed Palestinian director Annemarie Jacir’s most ambitious work to date is a powerful exploration of the events leading up to the Arab Revolt of 1936.

Palestine has been under British mandatory control since the 1920s, but tensions are flaring over the future of the territory. Chronicling the lives of local farmers, revolutionaries and business owners, Jacir’s drama is a gripping account of a critical moment in Palestinian history, conveyed by a stellar ensemble cast that includes Hiam Abbass, Jeremy Irons and Saleh Bakri.
