SUMMARY:LIVE: Pentabus- Jacaranda by Lorna French
DESCRIPTION:‘Sometimes it feels so exposing just walking in the village. I told Jimmy to ignore it at first\, he tried to\, but it’s isolating he said\, eyes on you\, not a word spoken. Even when you meet their eyes they don’t look away. Like they have a right to\, like you’re a spectacle\, an object.’ \nOlivia has recently moved into her great uncle’s farmhouse. She’s not local\, but she knows her way around. Matty is a gamekeeper\, but he doesn’t often tell anyone. He’s wary of newcomers. \nThese unlikely strangers find themselves beside a stream on the longest night of the year. \nPentabus and Theatre by the Lake present a brilliant new drama from award-winning playwright Lorna French which explores loss\, love\, prejudice\, race and belonging. \nTrigger Warning: The play includes descriptions of pregnancy and child loss that could possibly be upsetting or triggering for anyone who has been affected by pregnancy loss or the death of a baby. \nDirector: Elle While \nSuitable age 14 + \nCaptioned performance \n \n

SUMMARY:MID WALES OPERA LIVE: IL TABARRO
DESCRIPTION:TICKETS ON SALE TUESDAY 31ST AUGUST 9AM \nWe couldn’t be more delighted to welcome Mid Wales Opera back to SpArC for a second time this year. \nMid Wales Opera presents Puccini’s passionate late masterpiece Il tabarro\, or ‘The Cloak’. Set on the banks of the Seine\, this one act opera tells the short story of the barge owner Michele who suspects his young wife Giorgetta of being unfaithful. Packed with side plots and characters bringing to life the sights and sounds of 1900s Paris\, the opera reaches its dramatic conclusion when Michele unexpectedly catches his wife’s lover at the strike of a match. With alluring melodies and a fast-moving pace\, Il tabarro sees the great opera composer at the very height of his powers. \n  \nMWO’s new production features 6 singers and 4 musicians\, with a new English translation by Richard Studer and a new chamber arrangement by Jonathan Lyness. The opera will be followed by a second half continuing the Parisian theme with a mix of entertaining musical items featuring  all of our talented singers and musicians. \n  \n  \nCyflwyna Opera Canolbarth Cymru orchestwaith hwyr Puccini\, Il tabarro neu ‘The Cloak’. Stori fer yw’r opera un act hon\, wedi’i gosodd ar lannau’r Seine\, am berchennog cwch camlas o’r enw Michele\, sy’n amau bod ei wraig\, Giorgetta\, yn bod yn anffyddlon. Mae’r opera’n llawn is-blotiau ac is-gymeriadau\, a chyfeiriadau at olygfeydd a synau Paris yn y 1900au. Daw’r opera i ddiweddglo dramatig pan ddalia Michele gariad ei wraig yn annisgwyl ar daniad matsien. Gyda melodïau cyfareddol a thyndra cyffrous\, mae Il tabarro yn dangos gwaith y cyfansoddwr gwych pan oedd ei allu ar ei anterth. \n  \nMae cynhyrchiad newydd OCC yn cynnwys 6 canwr a 4 cerddor\, gyda chyfieithiad newydd i’r Saesneg gan Richard Studer a threfniant siambr newydd gan Jonathan Lyness. Yn yr ail hanner\, ar ôl yr opera\, byddwn yn parhau â thema Paris gyda chymysgedd o eitemau cerddorol difyr gan ein holl gantorion a’n cerddorion dawnus.
