From Ground Zero

22 extraordinary stories, from 22 Palestinian filmmakers, living through the unimaginable.

Charming, wistful, heartbreaking, hopeful and urgent. Palestine’s official entry to the 2025 Academy Awards, “From Ground Zero”, brings dozens of emerging Palestinian artists to the fore in an urgent cry for humanity from a people under siege.

Each film, ranging in length from 3 to 6 minutes, presents a unique perspective on the current reality in Gaza. The project, masterminded by legendary Palestinian filmmaker Rashid Masharawi and Exec Produced by Michael Moore, captures the diverse experiences of life in the Palestinian enclave, including the challenges, tragedies and moments of resilience faced by its people. Using a mix of genres including fiction, documentary, docu-fiction, animation and experimental cinema, From Ground Zero presents a rich diversity of stories that reflect the sorrow, joy and hope inherent in Gazan life.

These are only a snapshot of the stories shared. Chronicling the lives of people too often discussed in reference to numbers and refugee camps, From Ground Zero is an extraordinary time capsule, an urgent response to an ongoing catastrophe, and an artist’s call to bear witness to a crime scene. It is a reminder that despite sustained efforts to silence them - the film stricken from the 2024 Cannes lineup on political grounds after initially being accepted - the voice of the Palestinian people is louder than ever through art and film.

LA SONNAMBULA   (New production)

Synopsis:

Following triumphant Met turns in Roméo et Juliette, La Traviata, and Lucia di Lammermoor, Nadine Sierra summits another peak of the soprano repertoire as Amina, who sleepwalks her way into audiences’ hearts in Bellini’s poignant tale of love lost and found. In his new production, Rolando Villazón—the tenor who has embarked on a brilliant second career as a director—retains the opera’s original setting in the Swiss Alps but uses its somnambulant plot to explore the emotional and psychological valleys of the mind. Tenor Xabier Anduaga returns after his acclaimed 2023 Met debut in L’Elisir d’Amore, co-starring as Amina’s fiancé Elvino, alongside soprano Sydney Mancasola as her rival, Lisa, and bass Alexander Vinogradov as Count Rodolfo. Riccardo Frizza takes the podium for one of opera’s most ravishing works.

Peter Knight and John Spiers have made long lasting and significant contributions to the English folk scene via their work with Steeleye Span and Bellowhead, and more recently with the Gigspanner Big Band, and each has changed the perception of what traditional music can be, simultaneously introducing it to much wider, including global, audiences.

Originally brought together by FolkEast Festival for a one-off concert in 2016, their partnership has blossomed into  “One of the most intriguing and exciting collaborations on today's folk scene” KLOF Magazine.

The pairing of violin and melodeon is not a new one, but in the hands of Knight and Spiers, improvisation and invention meet the listener at every turn. Together they have created a something to inspire future generations of musicians to engage with Britain’s folk dancing heritage, and the beautiful, mysterious tunes that can be found within that heritage.

"There can be no doubting that both performers are amongst the most, if not the most, talented of their peers. I was probably not the only person to leave the venue in awe at having witnessed something very special” Fatea Magazine

Organology trio is a musical spectacle brought to life by three generations of Jazz masters of the highest level.  

Gilad Atzmon – Alto Saxophone

Ross Stanley - Hammond Organ

Joel Barford - Drums

Three of the best instrumentalists in contemporary music have joined forces to present their unique and original perspective on the Jazz Organ Trio. Organology pays a great respect to the jazz tradition and the jazz language, but it’s also fresh, innovative, revolutionary and young in spirit.

Ross Stanley is without a doubt the most in-demand Jazz artist in Britain.  He has played with pretty much everyone in the kingdom and on the other side of the pond. Gilad Atzmon has been considered one of the best woodwind players in the world. He is the founder of the Orient House Ensemble  but is also known for his work with Ian Dury & the Blockheads. Gilad is the last saxophonist to record with Pink Floyd.   Joel Barford, the youngest member in the trio, has been making a name for himself and is in highest demand. He is considered by many to be the future of British Jazz.

Organology has recorded its first album in October and is planning to release its debut album with Aesthetiko Musicians Collective in winter 2025

ROH. La Traviata

Synopsis:

At one of her lavish parties, celebrated Parisan courtesan Violetta is introduced to Alfredo Germont.

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.

GISELLE

Synopsis:

The peasant girl Giselle has fallen in love with Albrecht. When she discovers that he is actually a nobleman promised to another, she kills herself in despair.

Wracked with guilt, Albrecht visits Giselle’s grave, where he must face the Wilis – and Giselle’s ghost.

Peter Wright’s 1985 production of this quintessential Romantic ballet is a classic of The Royal Ballet repertory.
