Tchaikovsky's most ambitious opera contains some of his greatest music and is a powerful study of destructive obsession.

In Tchaikovsky’s intense opera of obsession and the supernatural, Gherman is caught between the woman he loves and a destructive fixation. The Queen of Spadesis based on a short story by Pushkin, and comes to the Royal Opera House in a new production that has already garnered five-star reviews in Amsterdam. The production is set in 1890, the year of the opera’s premiere. In his study, Tchaikovsky imagines the opera into life as his own story, its characters giving voice to his unfulfilled desires. Aleksandrs Antonenko and Eva-Maria Westbroek head the cast and Royal Opera Chorus, conducted by Antonio Pappano, Music Director of The Royal Opera. This is an engrossing portrayal of a tortured creative artist and a gripping piece of gothic storytelling.

Richard Eyre's beautiful production provides the perfect setting for Verdi's opera about a courtesan who sacrifices all for love.

From the thrill of unexpected romance to a heartbreaking reconciliation that comes too late – Verdi’s La traviata is one of the most popular of all operas. Alfredo falls in love in with the courtesan Violetta in glamorous Paris society, but underneath the surface run darker undercurrents, leading to a tragic ending. The opera’s wealth of melodies includes the famous Brindisi and the exuberant ‘Sempre libera’ – both showing the lyricism of Italian opera at its most immediately appealing. Richard Eyre’s production for The Royal Opera brings out all the emotional colour, from the giddy discovery of love, through painful confrontation to the inevitable conclusion. Lavish period sets and costumes enhance the reality of a moving story based on true life.

Each comedy night features 3 comedians and compere.

Headliner: Angela Barnes - After a career in health and social care, Angela Barnes took the plunge and embarked on her life-long dream to be a comedian. Within a couple of years she had won the 2011 BBC New Comedy Award and became a finalist at the 2011 Latitude Festival New Act of the Year competition. Since 2011, Angela and her witty worldview have been catapulted onto numerous radio and television shows including appearances on BBC One’s Mock The Week, Live At The Apollo and BBC Radio 4’s The News Quiz.

In 2017 she took over the prestigious role as host of BBC Radio 4 Extra’s Newsjack.

From the producers of the critically acclaimed tours of Round the Horne and The Goon Show comes another radio comedy classic live on stage.

In 1954, Tony Hancock burst onto the airwaves of the BBC Light Programme with a comedy show unlike anything the British public had heard before.  Playing a less successful version of himself and surrounded by a cast of fellow comedy greats including Sid James, Hattie Jacques and Kenneth Williams, Hancock’s Half Hour was one of the first programmes in the genre we now know as sitcom.

Written by young up-and-comers Ray Galton and Alan Simpson, who later went on to create Steptoe and Son, Hancock’s Half Hour redefined radio comedy and has had people laughing non-stop for the past 65 years.

So come and take a trip to 23 Railway Cuttings, East Cheam to join ‘the lad himself’ and his motley crew for three classic episodes of this hilarious show.

Reviews of Round the Horne

‘A superb evening’s entertainment and I left the theatre wanting more.’

Robin Strapp - British Theatre Guide

‘I laughed so much… I was in danger of being led out of the theatre.’

Linda Kirkman - Scene One

A haunting and immaculately crafted concert

This concert begins with an introductory set of timeless songs by brilliant songwriters – all contemporary with Nick Drake. Richard Thompson, Roy Harper, Sandy Denny, Al Stewart, Vashti Bunyan, John Martyn and Bert Jansch.

Also featured are poems by William Blake which Keith has set to guitar arrangements based on Nick’s unique style.

Nick Drake is the most revered and loved of all this country’s singer/songwriters. He recorded three cherished Albums between 1969 and 1972 but was almost entirely unknown in his day. After his tragic death in 1974, aged only 26, his music almost disappeared into obscurity. Now, thanks to a massive resurgence of interest and a worldwide re-evaluation of his genius, Nick Drake has become a National treasure. An important book, Remembered for a while has been recently released, written by his elder Sister Gabrielle Drake. This volume throws light on almost everything attributed to Nick’s brief career as a songwriter and recording artist as well as on many corners of mystery and supposition.

A number of years have now passed since singer/guitarist Keith James paralysed the whole country with his stunningly beautiful series of concerts entitled The Songs of Nick Drake. At the beginning of the project in 2001 he was the first artist ever to bring this fragile and intriguing music to theatres across the UK in its pure live concert form. The end result was over a decade of highly acclaimed concerts amounting to over 1500 shows in venues in the UK, Ireland, Holland, France, Italy and Spain including all of Nick’s Schools and Colleges – even Glastonbury Festival.

‘Meticulous dissection of Nick Drake’ idiosyncratic guitar techniques handled with surgical precision’ Northern Sky

‘Some of the most atmospheric and emotive music you will ever hear’  The Independent

‘Keith James has become a pillar of trust. A sublimely intimate and engaging voice’  Sunday Times

‘a sensitive and pleasingly understated delivery, all the better that the songs might speak for themselves’  Acoustic Magazine

Love and friendship triumph in Carlos Acosta's vibrant production of this dazzling ballet.

Cervantes’s story of the bumbling knight Don Quixote has inspired countless artistic interpretations. Marius Petipa choreographed this sparkling ballet about the encounters of the man from La Mancha and his faithful squire Sancho Panza. At its heart are virtuoso roles for the lovers Basilio and Kitri. Carlos Acosta chose this joyful classic for his first production for The Royal Ballet. His vibrant staging brings together the whole Company in such roles as exuberant villagers, passionate gypsies and even fantasy flowers. The story follows Don Quixote’s picaresque journey to do deeds in honour of his imaginary noble lady, Dulcinea. Sunny, charming, funny and touching – Don Quixote is a ballet as full of uplifting emotion as it is of astonishing ballet technique.

Approximate running time: 2 hours 45 minutes, including one interval.

BBC Radio 2 Folk Award for Best Duo – 2016 & 2013

Duos come and duos go… And some nurture and fine tune their art and watch it grow into something totally original, captivating and award-winning. Bonded by an unseen alchemy, Kathryn Roberts and Sean Lakeman have entwined their professional and personal relationship into an enviable class act of imaginative songwriting and musicianship.

The Dartmoor-based husband and wife have twice won the coveted Best Duo title at the BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards (2016 and 2013), consistently delivering assured, distinctive performances whether live or recorded. Over two decades of performance they have never been trapped in a groove – always bold and innovative, mixing traditional song arrangements with (increasingly) their self-penned material which reels from the bitter to the sweet, the wry to the sad, the political to the passive. across folk, rock, country and blues genres.

With ‘Personae’, Kathryn Roberts & Sean Lakeman present their landmark fifth studio album. It is an eclectic emotional see-saw of a journey, melding ten tracks of traditional ballads and their own self-penned versatile material. Once again Roberts & Lakeman have created an album by turns curious, thought-provoking, moving and magical – a complete cornucopia astutely delivered by one of the most intriguing, uninhibited and popular duos on the British folk scene. Most definitely not ‘personae non gratae’.

Lutoslawski 4th Symphony (1992)

This was Lutoslawski’s last orchestral work and shows him at the height of his powers, blending the  unique aleatoric techniques he honed over a lifetime with a breath-taking palette of sounds and  textures, from the ambient to the dynamic and rhythmic, full of energy and life.

Debussy 'La Mer' (1905)

Debussy conceived this piece as three symphonic sketches: from dawn to noon on the sea, play of the  waves and dialogue of the wind and the sea. It has been described as a “sonorous becoming….a  developmental process in which the very notions of exposition and development co-exist in an  uninterrupted burst”. 25 minutes of pure bliss as we are transported to the middle of the ocean.

Schumann Cello concerto in A Minor, op. 129 (1850) with soloist Jayden Lamcellari

The concerto was written in just two weeks, in October 1850. It is unified in material and character,  with the three movements intended to be performed without a break. Its emotional scope is wide,  however, moving from the deeply meditative to the agitated, leading to the brilliant, affirmative  conclusion.

Jayden Lamcellari is a young 16-year-old Irish cellist studying with Bozidar Vukotic at the Royal

Academy of Music. He is currently the recipient of the Elton John scholarship awarded by Director  Howard Ionascu.

Jayden made his debut as a soloist at the Musikverein Concert Hall in Vienna in March 2018. He played

at the Carnegie Hall with the New York Concerti Sinfonietta in June 2018 and has been invited to

perform again in New York at the Lincoln Centre.

Jayden has won 3 international competitions: the Grand Prize Virtuoso competition, the New England

international competition and the New York Concerti Sinfonietta International Competition. He has also won most major competitions in Ireland.  Jayden has performed on Ireland’s Late Late Show and has on  for the President of Ireland.

Jayden enjoys playing chamber music with his quartet and loves playing with the Academy Symphony  Orchestra.

‘All the pretty little horses’, a title which reflects the ‘Song & Dance’ theme of the Festival’s art exhibition, exploring the tender, intimate, wishful, and sometimes subversive realm of the lullaby. From this beautiful dwelling house of song new poems of childhood (or parenting) will emerge.

Venue: The Studio - ground floor

All tickets £15.00

Convergence. Other successes include the Frogmore Poetry Prize and placings in the Bridport Prize and Mslexia Poetry Competition. Julie-ann is also well-known for her

focus on environmental issues.

Veronica Aaronson was a co-founder of the Festival. She runs an open mic quarterly in Teignmouth and produces Pzazz, an anthology of poems from those events. Veronica’s first collection, Nothing About The Birds Is Ordinary This Morning

(Indigo Dreams) was published in 2018. Veronica was winner of the Dawlish Poetry Trail 2016 and has been long-listed in the National Poetry Competition 2016, The Rialto Nature Poetry Competition 2018 and Torbay Open Poetry Competition 2018.

including PN Review, The London Magazine, The Dark Horse and New Boots & Pantisocracies. His poetry features regularly in The Spectator and is included in the Forward Prize Anthology 2019. Paul is a counsellor in addictions, working for the NHS in Bristol. He is also a marathon runner.

Pzazz3 is the Festival’s latest anthology of home-grown poetry, compiled by Veronica Aaronson. Every poem has been heard at Poetry Teignmouth’s quarterly open mic sessions. Also eagerly awaited is the presentation of the Hillstead Trophy, awarded to the best poem with an environmental theme. The

Festival is grateful to Martyn and Nikki Hillstead for their generous donation of this beautiful trophy.

This event, which is still almost unique among poetry festivals, has long been an audience favourite. There is fascination in hearing how poetry works in other tongues, spotting the rhythms and cadences or the mechanisms of rhyme… We will feature work in ten languages, read by volunteers who are either fluent or native speakers, including translations into English.

‘Swinging and Singing’ with A.J.s Big Band and vocalist.

Following their last sell-out concert at the Pavilions,the highly acclaimed seventeen piece band returns with another packed programme of swing and jazz classics from the golden age of the big bands and beyond.  As well as familiar favourites from Glenn Miller, Artie Shaw, Count Basie and other musical legends, the band’s stunning vocalist reminds us of the timeless songs of Ella Fitzgerald, Vera Lynn and more.  As always, this premier band, now into its thirty fourth year, promises an evening of top musical entertainment.  

Fiona Benson’s first collection, Bright Travellers, was published by Jonathan Cape in 2014. It was awarded the Seamus Heaney Prize for first collection and the Geoffrey Faber Memorial Prize. An earlier pamphlet was the first in the ‘Faber New Poets’

series. A second full collection from Cape, Vertigo & Ghost, will be published in time for the Festival. Fiona lives in rural Devon with her husband James and their daughters, Isla and Rose.

‘The heart needs a Thou’ This workshop will invite participants to write their own poems by addressing themselves to ‘the Beloved’ – or an ‘Other’, whatever those terms might mean for them. It will be challenging, revealing and hopefully deeply rewarding.

Teignmouth Poetry Festival Workshop

‘Veiling the Narrative’ will look at the different ways of telling a story in our poems. Can images do the job for us; do fragmentation and repetition help? We will experiment with the ideas of holding back or telling all. What are the ways of ‘veiling the narrative’ and should we try and do this at all?

Young Poets - The Next Generation

Judge Annie Fisher will invite prizewinners from the Young Poets competition to read their work. We will also hear from young people who took part in Tim King’s poetry workshop earlier in the year. This event is part of Poetry Teignmouth’s

ongoing drive to free up the creative urge in writers of the future. Annie Fisher is semi-retired, having worked as a teacher and English adviser. She is widely known in Somerset schools as Arabella, Storyteller. Her own writing combines the playful

with the poignant and is always amusing. Her pamphlet, Infinite In All Perfections, was published by HappenStance in 2016.

SUFI POEMS AND STORIES WITH BRIAN PATTEN AND AYAZ

Including tea and cakes

Brian Patten’s latest creation is The Book of Upside Down Thinking, a magical collection of short poems built around stories often attributed to a character in Middle Eastern folklore that we have come to know as Nazrudin. Much of

this beautifully illustrated book is based on modern interpretations of those stories; the newer poems of his own could not have existed, Brian says, without Nazrudin’s inspiration. Brian Patten was one of the Liverpool Poets,

alongside Adrian Henri and Roger McGough. Their joint 1967 collection, The Mersey Sound, was the single book which inspired ordinary people to read poetry. Fifty years and over half a million copies later, it is still in print.

Ayaz (Angus Landman) is a Sufi poet, formerly a psychotherapist, who now runs The Practice Rooms, centres for talking therapies and holistic health across the

South West. His poetry stems from an inner revelation that began in his teens and finds its creative expression in the poetry and philosophy of the Sufi Way. He is interested in reframing the Christian story from a mystical perspective, addressing its relevance to how we live and the choices we make. Ayaz and his family live near Bath; he enjoys walking, horse riding and creating beautiful spaces.

COMPETITION RESULTS

The Festival’s Local competition was judged by Julie-ann Rowell. Julie-ann will announce the results, present the prizes, and invite the winners to read their successful poems.

The Open competition Judge John Greening will invite short-listed poets from the 2019 Teignmouth Poetry Festival Competition to read their entries. He will announce the results and present the £850 in prizes.

FOLLOWED BY READING – JOHN GREENING

John Greening is recipient of a Cholmondeley Award and winner of the Bridport and TLS prizes. His recent books include To the War Poets (Carcanet), editions of Edmund Blunden and Geoffrey Grigson, Heath (with Penelope Shuttle), an Egypt

memoir, Threading a Dream, and the anthologies, Accompanied Voices and Ten Poems about Sheds. His next collection, The Silence, appears from Carcanet in 2019.

How many poets are household names? How many have been part of a No 1 hit single and a big box-office film, been awarded a CBE, OBE, and the Freedom of the City of Liverpool? Or won the Signal Award for best children’s poetry book

while being the softly engaging voice of one of Radio 4’s longest-running radio shows? It all started back in the ‘60s. The Beatles were brand-new mega-stars and Liverpool was the place to be. Roger McGough and the other Mersey poets had

been much influenced by New York’s beat scene and shot to fame as the cool literary arm of the city’s sudden emergence as cultural hub. Roger McGough today is ‘The patron saint of poetry’ (Carol Ann Duffy), ‘A poemy torch in dark corners' (Ian McMillan), and 'A witty and ingenious chronicler of

British life…' (The Poetry Society). He has over 70 books to his name, is President of the Poetry Society, and still makes occasional appearances with Little Machine, the band with a brilliant repertoire of poetry set to music. An exuberant new collection, joinedupwriting, will be published by

Penguin in late March. Its mood will be familiar: mostly high-spirited, revolving around word-play, written in almost conversational style. He tackles the most serious subjects (parenthood, illness, ageing…) with the lightest of touches and a complete absence of high falutin’ language – he is the most accessible of poets. It’s no coincidence his work is much used in schools and has travelled in many translations all

around the world. Teignmouth Poetry Festival is privileged to present the favourite-uncle voice of ‘Poetry Please’. Don’t miss

this one! Learn more at www.rogermcgough.org.uk , Twitter @McgoughRoger

Teignmouth Poetry Festival Workshop

‘Metaphorical Truth’ Is there something you have always wanted to write about, but couldn’t find a way in? Helen will show how a leap into imagination can take you closer to the way things really feel – the kind of truth that had Alice shrink in a pool of her own tears.

Teignmouth Poetry Festival Workshop

'A box where sweets compacted lie' is a quote from George Herbert’s famous poem, ‘Virtue’, whose four stanzas are warrens of interconnecting thoughts, sentiments and constructions.

This workshop will focus on the stanza: what is it for, what separates it or links it to others, how is the stanza best put together? The session will include opportunities to experiment with different forms.

DOCTOR ZEEMAN’S CATASTROPHE MACHINE – MARTIN FIGURA

Martin Figura is a poet and photographer. His latest one-man show, Doctor Zeeman’s Catastrophe Machine, is a masterclass in spoken word. It was shortlisted for the 2018 Saboteur Awards and is currently touring the UK to 5-star reviews. This show was a highlight of last year’s Ledbury Festival. Martin’s poetry

includes the collection, Whistle, which was nominated for the Ted Hughes Award and won the Saboteur 2013 Best Spoken Word Show Award. Patience Agbabi says ‘His subject matter is so challenging it makes the audience gasp. In spite of this, he

engages the listener with warmth and humour.’ Martin lives in Norwich, is married to Helen Ivory, is chair of Café Writers and a trustee of Norwich Arts Centre.

Catastrophe Machine is a tour de force – no-one emerges unaffected.

Tim King is one of the Southwest’s top Spoken Word performers. His work rangesfrom the brutally honest to the deeply poignant via some clever and quirky wordplay. Tim hosts Taking The Mic, a monthly Spoken Word event at the Phoenix Arts Centre in Exeter, and is a champion of young writers, leading workshops in schools and encouraging new talent onto the stage.

Graeme Ryan is a drama teacher, playwright and poet. He lives in Somerset and is a popular leader of creative writing groups. Graeme won last year’s Teignmouth Open Poetry Competition and his dramatic performance in the Festival’s mini-slam

won him our invitation to present a wider range of his poetry.

Experience the decadence and elegance of 1870s Paris in David McVicar's spectacular production of Gounod's best-loved opera.

There are many versions of the story of Faust, who trades his soul with the Devil for youth and power, but Gounod’s opera remains one of the most constantly enthralling. Michael Fabiano stars as Faust, with Diana Damrau as his beloved Marguerite and Erwin Schrott as the diabolical Méphistophélès. Virtuoso leading roles, a large chorus, sensational sets, ballet and an ecstatic finale make this the epitome of theatrical spectacle – the lavish scale of French grand opera is wonderfully in evidence in this production by David McVicar, set in 1870s Paris. Above all, the music includes several of popular opera’s most recognizable numbers, performed by a cast of great international singers and the Royal Opera Chorus.

Approximate running time: 3 hours 45 minutes, including one interval. Sung in French with English subtitles

America, 1947. Despite hard choices and even harder knocks, Joe and Kate Keller are a success story. They have built a home, raised two sons and established a thriving business.

But nothing lasts forever and their contented lives, already shadowed by the loss of their eldest boy to war, are about to shatter. With the return of a figure from the past, long buried truths are forced to the surface and the price of their American dream is laid bare.

Jeremy Herrin (NT Live: This House, People, Places & Things) directs a cast including Jenna Coleman (Victoria), and Colin Morgan (Merlin).

All My Sons is an Old Vic co-production with Headlong

Two recent works and one world premiere showcase the contemporary face of the Royal Ballet.

The contemporary face of The Royal Ballet is shown in works from three of today’s leading choreographers. Christopher Wheeldon’s Within the Golden Hour is based around seven couples separating and intermingling, to music by Vivaldi and Bosso and lit with rich colours suggested by sunset. Crystal Pite’s Flight Pattern, revived for the first time, uses a large dance ensemble and Górecki’s familiar music from his Symphony of Sorrowful Songsfor a poignant and passionate reflection on migration. Between them, a new work by Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui, created on The Royal Ballet has its premiere to bring the contemporary truly up-to-date.

“A Truly exceptional entertainer with one of the best voices you will ever hear.”

Frank Ifield

Nicki Gillis is one of Australia’s most amazing entertainers. A singer, dancer, radio announcer and television presenter who exudes such positive energy you can’t help but be mesmerized by her presence on stage and off.

Born in Western Australia, Nicki took to the stage at six years old and has never looked back. From parties and talent quests she evolved through a variety of solo, duo and band experiences to eventually outgrow the opportunities in her home state. In 2004 she moved to Sydney where she took to the club and festival circuit like a fish to water. In high demand across all venues she quickly built a reputation as one of the nicest and hardest working entertainers in Australia.

During this period also won three major awards in the entertainment industry: The Gympie Muster Talent Search, the Frank Ifield International Spur Award and the Australian Entertainment Industry “Mo” Award.

Nicki has toured the UK each year since 2009 and built a strong and loyal following in the club and theatre circuit. She has also been the female lead and co-producer of three successful stage shows in Australia, “When Aussies Ruled Britannia” (Starring Frank Ifield and Keith Potger), “Frank Ifield Remembers” and “Ladies Rock – A History of Women’s Rock Music”.

Nicki is now presenting her new two-hour stage show in MAY and early JUNE 2019 aptly named “Tapestry – The Concert”, where she performs this quintessential album live on stage with her band and backing singers.

In addition to the album performance, there is a 45-minute mini-concert of “Songs Carole King Gave Away” where the band and backing singers perform many of the hit songs written by Carole King but performed by other artistes such as The Four Tops, The Drifters, The Monkees, The Temptations, Kylie Minogue and countless other stars.

Come and listen to such favourites as “Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow”, “It’s Too Late Now”, You Make Me Feel Like a Natural Woman”, “I Feel The Earth Move”, “I’m Into Something Good”, “You’ve Got a Friend” and the ever popular “Locomotion”…plus a host of other great, great hits.

Celebrating THE TRAVELING WILBURYS

Roy Orbison, George Harrison, Bob Dylan, Tom Petty and Jeff Lynne

About the band.  The Unravelling Wilburys, a band of good ‘ol boys, turn their skills and replicate the sound and songs of the late 80s ‘super-group’ The Traveling Wilburys where five of the greatest names in rock music history came together………… George Harrison, Roy Orbison, Tom Petty, Bob Dylan and Jeff Lynne of ELO……….. and completed two Wilburys albums, Volumes One and Three though, sadly, Roy Orbison had passed away before Volume Three was recorded.

So… welcome to Thumper, Blind Melon, Sticky Willy, Walter and Javelin … The Unravelling Wilburys.   In a former guise as top Beatles project, Sgt Pepper’s Only Dart Board Band, (The Flab Five), they had toured for 21 years playing at UK festivals, including Glastonbury, and at theatres and music venues across Europe and the UK.  They also headlined at a Beatles festival at Montgomery, Alabama.

Their shows feature the boys take on their songs being usurped by Messrs Harrison, Dylan, Lynne, Orbison and Petty, back in the late 80s at Nashville, Tennessee.  The story unravels, as is told in the show, and it comes to be that The Unravelling Wilburys have now stolen back what is rightfully theirs! Not only that, they have stolen some choice solo songs (allegedly) from Messrs Dylan, Lynne, Orbison, Harrison and Petty as compensation…………… and now happily play them in their shows!

The set list includes Wilbury songs such as:  End Of The Line, Handle With Care, The Devil’s Been Busy, Last Night, Tweeter And The Monkey Man, She’s My Baby, Heading For The Light……………. And choice cuts such as:  Pretty Woman, You’ve Got It (Roy Orbison), Mr Blue Sky, Evil Woman (Jeff Lynne’s ELO), I Won’t Back Down, Running Down A Dream (Tom Petty), Mr Tambourine Man, Make You Feel My Love (Bob Dylan), What Is Life, Here Come’s The Sun (George Harrison)………… and many more.  All great songs in the folk/country/rock genres and plenty of humour throughout!

” Captured the style and sounds perfectly and with their own added sense of humour gave the audience an evening to remember

Shakespeare's star-crossed lovers encounter passion and tragedy in Kenneth MacMillan's 20th century ballet masterpiece.

Shakespeare’s enduring love story is known the world over. Since its 1965 premiere with The Royal Ballet, Kenneth MacMillan’s Romeo and Juliet has become a modern ballet classic. The choreography captures the emotions of the young couple as they fall in love, despite the barriers that finally bring about the story’s tragic end. Each revival gives opportunities for new dancers to interpret the doomed lovers. The whole Company brings the colour and action of Renaissance Verona, where a busy market all too quickly bursts into sword fighting, and a family feud leads to tragedy for both the Montagues and Capulets.
