La Boheme
La Bohème is one of the most romantic operas ever written. It tells the tragic tale of the doomed, consumptive Mimi and her love for a penniless writer.
The Hallé
Marta Gardolińska, Music Director of the Opéra national de Lorraine, conducts this programme of conflict and resolution. With its beautifully broad ranges of tonal colour, tinged with the trials of the American Civil War, it is easy to see why Copland’s score for Appalachian Spring earned him a Pulitzer Prize.
Day Fever!
Due to its remarkable success, Day Fever! returns on Saturday the 4th May 2024 for another day time party at the iconic Sheffield City Hall.

20 Years of Ensemble 360: Festival Launch

Echoes From The Birdcage
Experience the vibrant soundscape of London’s King’s Cross with Echoes from the Birdcage. These works capture the diversity of the city, from the meditative echoes of Messiaen to the energetic beats of Steve Reich and works infused with jazz and Balkan folk dance.
