Lines between spaces, performer and spectator blur to create an unforgettable experience. This version sets the story somewhere between George Crabbe’s poem The Borough and Britten’s masterpiece, Peter Grimes. It will take audience members on individual theatrical journeys around Grimes’ town, following in his footsteps and hearing Britten’s score. Open air: Outdoors | ||

| Snape Maltings Concert Hall, Snape IP17 1SP, United Kingdom Saturday 15-Jun-13 11:00am Quatuor Mosaïques I Quatuor Mosaïques is the world’s leading period instrument string quartet. Their gut-stringed instruments and uncluttered, perceptive musicianship lead to freshly considered and deeply satisfying performances of the classical and early Romantic repertoire. In the first of their two weekend residency concerts, they pitch us straight into baroque music and the wonderful improvisatory air of Purcell’s Fantasias for viol consort as a prelude to the richness of mature Haydn. Schubert’s monumental final quartet finds solace amidst the tumult, as the ailing but still young composer obsesses on an extraordinary torrent of musical ideas – chamber music on an epic scale. | ||

| Sadler's Wells: Peacock Theatre, London, Portugal Street, Holborn, London WC2 2HT, United Kingdom Saturday 15-Jun-13 02:30pm ZooNation Dance Company — Some Like It Hip Hop ZooNation’s Some Like It Hip Hop has been a runaway success since it hit the Peacock Theatre in 2011, wowing audiences and prompting widespread critical praise with five-star reviews and standing ovations. After a second successful run and celebrating the company’s tenth anniversary at Sadler’s Wells last year, Some Like It Hip Hop returns to the Peacock Theatre to kick-start the summer. Fast becoming a modern classic, Some Like It Hip Hop unites truly sensational dancing and a typically clever and engrossing storyline with infectious “wit, heart and magnificent energy” (The Independent). With a nod to Billy Wilder’s Some Like It Hot and Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night, it tells a comical tale of love, mistaken identity, cross-dressing and revolution, all played out in ZooNation’s trademark style of hip hop, comedy and physical theatre. Directed by Sadler’s Wells Associate Artist Kate Prince, Some Like It Hip Hop also features a ground-shaking original soundtrack, live singing and some of the UK’s top hip hop dance talent. | ||

The work is based on John Adams’ letters to his wife, Abigail, with whom he shared his aspirations, accomplishments and frustrations as he worked to secure financial support from the Dutch for the new nation emerging from a revolution. Abigail, his “dearest friend”, was not demure about expressing her feelings on things political, economic or domestic. She was an early feminist (“Don’t forget the women,” she wrote to John while the founding fathers were drafting the Declaration of Independence in Philadelphia), abolitionist, mother and farm manager during John’s long absences.

![]() | ||
| Aldeburgh Church, Aldeburgh IP15 5DY, United Kingdom Saturday 15-Jun-13 03:00pm Composer Portrait: Jonathan Harvey Harvey’s remarkable fourth quartet has the sounds of the players electronically modified and dispersed to all corners of the performance space. “The quartet is the dreamer” writes the composer and the world of the unconscious imagination is represented in music that is fluid and multi-dimensional, vivid and profound.
Britten’s quartet from 1930 was premiered only 30 years ago by the Arditti Quartet. A daring and astonishingly accomplished work for a composer still in his teens, it shows intriguing influences European contemporary music of the time, particularly the music of Berg. Julian Anderson and Harvey have often been associated with ‘spectral’ music, their music coloured by analysis of the properties of sound itself, lending a heady otherworldly beauty to their explorations of timbre and the undiscovered spaces between conventional notes and harmonies. | ||

They have their own language and culture and as a nation with equal rights they belong to the Kingdom of Denmark. They are also home to an ensemble whom composer and pianist Kristian Blak writes his music for: inspired by the islands’ traditional music and their magnificent landscapes, improvisationally spontaneous, floating freely between the styles and as unpredictable as the Faroese weather. Yggdrasil is the world tree in Northern mythology lowering its roots into the deepest depth of the underworld – YGGDRASIL have already played concerts in the rock caves of their craggy islands, now they dive into Sanssouci’s underworld and take you into the grotto behind the jubilee terrace’s vine covered arches and onto a fantastical journey of sound all the way to the Faroe Islands.

| The London Coliseum, St. Martin's Lane, London WC2N 4ES, United Kingdom Saturday 15-Jun-13 06:30pm Puccini’s gift for writing emotional music is brought to the fore in La bohème’s tale of doomed love in poverty-stricken Paris. One of the world’s most recognised and widely performed operas, it focuses on two central relationships: that of the poet Rodolfo, who falls in love with the pretty but consumptive seamstress Mimì; and the painter Marcello, who has a glamorous and popular on-off mistress, Musetta.
Jonathan Miller’s production for ENO has quickly become a company classic and here receives its second revival since its 2009 premiere. Inspired by Brassaï’s photographs of the Paris Left Bank in the 1930s, Miller modernises the original bohemian setting to evoke the stark poverty of the day, creating a highly effective contemporary resonance, citing the film Withnail and I as an inspiration. Playing Mimì is Kate Valentine, who in recent seasons has played the Countess in Fiona Shaw’s production of The Marriage of Figaro and an ‘excellent’ (The Times) Helena in Christopher Alden’s Olivier Award-nominated A Midsummer Night’s Dream. Gwyn Hughes Jones returns to the role of Rodolfo following his great success in ENO’s 2010 production, and recent acclaimed Pinkerton in Madam Butterfly.Jonathan Miller, Director Natascha Metherell, Revival Director Isabella Bywater, Set Designer Gwyn Hughes Jones, Tenor: Rodolfo Kate Valentine, Soprano: Mimì Richard Burkhard, Baritone: Marcello Angel Blue, Soprano: Musetta Andrew Craig Brown, Bass: Colline Duncan Rock, Baritone: Schaunard Simon Butteriss, Bass: Benoît | ||

The ticket price includes the cost of transport to and from the venue. Booking opens on 25th March
Two new short operas from South Africa and Sweden premiere in Stockholm, before travelling to Cape Town “All is a procession. The universe is a procession with measured and perfect motion.”.
In 2010, CTO’s hugely popular Five:20 – Operas Made in South Africa initiative assembled five newly commissioned works by local composers and librettists. Now the project goes international in an exciting North-South collaboration, as CTO teams up with Stockholm’s University College of Opera to present a pair of cutting-edge thirty-minute operas. Swedish composer Carl Unander-Scharin brings his innovative use of technology in performance to a setting of Walt Whitman’s I Sing the Body Electric, while Philip Miller creates a haunting exploration of the realities of working underground in a mine in Between a Rock and a Hard Place: A Dictionary of a Mining Accident. | ||

| La Monnaie | De Munt: Grand Hall, Brussels, Muntplein-Place de la Monnaie, 1000 Brussels, Belgium Saturday 15-Jun-13 07:00pm The fatal temptation to seek the truth in love: men and women scorch their hearts and wings in trying to unlock the secret of emotions. How quickly perversity and cruelty oust desire and tenderness. Here Mozart enters into a dialogue with Marivaux and Sade. As in his previous operas, he succeeds in producing an incredible tension, a breathtakingly beautiful structuring of the text (his third collaboration with Da Ponte) and the music. Director Michael Haneke, one of the most incisive and insightful film-makers of our time, presents us with his vision of a work that is as spell-binding, serious, complex and at times light as it is formidably modern, where the experience of infidelity transforms the four characters by laying bare their frailty. For the Austrian director, this is his first time at La Monnaie, while Ludovic Morlot conducts his second opera of the season.Image credit: © Flore-Aël Surun / Tendance Floue Thomas Rösner, Conductor Michael Haneke, Director Christoph Kanter, Set Designer Anett Fritsch, Soprano: Fiordiligi Andreas Wolf, Baritone: Guglielmo Juan Francisco Gatell, Tenor: Ferrando Kerstin Avemo, Soprano: Despina William Shimell, Baritone: Don Alfonso Orchestre Symphonique et Choeurs de la Monnaie | ||

| Barbican Centre: Hall, London, Silk Street, London EC2Y 8DS, United Kingdom Saturday 15-Jun-13 07:30pm Les Arts Florissants / Monteverdi Madrigals Claudio Monteverdi’s madrigals have been described as a ‘theatre of the senses.’ These multi-voiced songs of life and love are intense dramas in miniature; quests for human expression that were as unprecedented as they were influential. In his Fifth book, things changed: the introduction of basso continuo – instruments to provide bass lines and harmonies – liberated Monteverdi’s voices above. This new freedom in the Fifth Book gives wings to Monteverdi’s rapturous visions of beauty and attraction, the sort of intricate, nimble and urgent beauty that Paul Agnew routinely brings from specialist Baroque ensemble Les Arts Florissants. Tickets £15 - 35. | ||

Another would not have done it, because of the customs, because of the time, and because of thousands of other qualms about it... I do it with the greatest pleasure. "(Giuseppe Verdi)La traviata - the "fallen woman" - the theme of utopia of love and the failure of this utopia to the limits of society's values. Love and death are the two key terms of the plot, which centres around Violetta and her tragic fate, their love, in sacrifice, and her ultimate death.Sung in Italian with German surtitlesImage credit: © Ruth Walz Stefano Ranzani, Conductor Peter Mussbach, Director Erich Wonder, Set Designer Anna Samuil, Soprano: Violetta Valéry Katharina Kammerloher, Mezzo-soprano: Flora Bervoix Rowan Hellier, Mezzo-soprano: Annina Francesco Demuro, Tenor: Alfredo Germont Alfredo Daza, Baritone: Giorgio Germont Kyungho Kim, Tenor: Gaston Arttu Kataja, Bass: Baron Douphol Alin Anca, Tenor: Marquis d'Obigny Jan Martinik, Bass: Dr Grenville Staatsopernchor Berlin Staatskapelle Berlin | ||
