Russian State Ballet & Opera House presents
Carmen - Saturday 1st October
2016
The Nutracker Tuesday 15th November
2016
Newcastle Tyne Theatre
& Opera House
The
Tyne Theatre & Opera House have announced the addition of two stunning
performances from Russian State Ballet & Opera House to our Winter 2016
programme.
After
the huge success of Rigoletto (North East Theatre Guide review link)
and Swan Lake here in 2015, and with Madam Butterfly still to come in Spring
2016, the Tyne Theatre & Opera House will welcome back the inimitable
Russian State Ballet & Opera House to their stage for the powerful opera
Carmen and beloved Christmas classic The Nutcracker.
Both
productions will feature an impressive cast and are accompanied by a large live
Orchestra with over 30 musicians.
Carmen
tells the story of the downfall of Don José, a naïve soldier who is seduced by
Carmen, a seductive, free-spirited femme fatale. José abandons his childhood
sweetheart and deserts from his military duties, yet loses Carmen's love to the
glamorous toreador Escamillo. Love, treachery, passion and betrayal, Carmen has
it all.
The
music of Carmen has been widely acclaimed for its brilliance of melody,
harmony, atmosphere and orchestration, and for the skill with which Bizet
represented, musically, the emotions and suffering of his characters. The
"Toreador Song" is among the best known of all operatic arias.
If
you’ve never tried opera before, you will love this full orchestra experience
with fantastic colourful costumes, exquisite singing and those wonderful tunes
that the audience will still be humming to themselves on their way home, making
this a must see opera production for everyone.

State Opera enjoyed a well-deserved standing ovation” Daily Post
Christmas
then comes early to Tyne Theatre & Opera House with the beautiful festive
fairy-tale, The Nutcracker on Tuesday 15th November
2016.
When
midnight strikes, the world turns all magical in the
wintry glitter of Christmas Eve. Toys come alive, the Mouse-King and his
mouse-army battle with the Nutcracker Prince and we travel through the Land of Snow to an enchanted place
where the magic really begins.
Snow
flurries, sweets, princes, magic, love, victories and defeats, and
Tchaikovsky’s rousing score, are just some of the ingredients that will be
brought together by the renowned Russian company.
The
Nutcracker continues to capture the hearts and imagination of generations of
theatre-goers, and is a wonderful introduction to ballet for anyone who has
never experienced it and still so special to anyone who has.
A
superb performance which lived up to the mystery of the charming Russian
classic’ The Argus
