| Cadogan Hall, London, 5 Sloane Terrace, London SW1X 9DQ, United Kingdom Saturday 31-Aug-13 03:00pm Proms Saturday Matinée 5 The focus on Benjamin Britten and his contemporaries continues with the world premiere of his Elegy for strings. Written six years before the Simple Symphony, this eloquent early miniature is contrasted with works by Tippett and Walton in the Proms debut of Camerata Nordica. Violinist Terje Tønnesen directs the Swedish ensemble as well as viola player Catherine Bullock in Lachrymae, arranged for string orchestra by Britten in the last year of his life. Tippett’s Little Music for strings and Walton’s Sonata for strings, another 1970s arrangement of a 1940s work, complete an all-British string ensemble matinee.Tickets 10 - £12.

| Wolkenturm, Grafenegg, Grafenegg, Austria Saturday 31-Aug-13 07:15pm Tonkunstler Orchestra The Tonkünstler unite tradition with avant-garde in this concert. The striking trumpet signal — to be taken as a symbol of freedom — in Beethoven’s Leonore overture creates a link to Brett Dean’s trumpet concerto. Håkan Hardenberger will play this work commissioned by the Grafenegg Festival in the first part of the concert. After the intermission, the Tonkünstler will play Johannes Brahms’ First conducted by John Storgårds, Music Director of the Helsinki Philharmonic Orchestra. The Prelude will also present music by Brett Dean: the «Spanische Liederbuch» by Hugo Wolf precedes the «Wolf- Lieder» written by our composer in residence.

| King's Theatre, Edinburgh, 2 Leven Street, Edinburgh EH3 9, United Kingdom Saturday 31-Aug-13 07:15pm American Lulu Seductress, victim, manipulator: Lulu lives off men as both tortured and torturer, purveyor of ecstasy and angel of death. Caught up in greedy games and seedy schemes, and surrounded by lovers driven to despair, Lulu makes an inexorable rise to the highest levels of power, money and fame. But her descent is just as swift. Twenty years on, as the scarred Lulu looks back on her life, she faces a squalid history of sex, murder and violence. Award-winning Austrian composer Olga Neuwirth has radically reworked Alban Berg’s unfinished 1934 opera for the 21st century, setting it against the backdrop of the US civil rights struggles of the 1950s and 1960s and transporting audiences to the smoky jazz clubs of the Deep South. Neuwirth re-interprets Berg’s score for a jazz-inspired ‘Las Vegas’-style ensemble while also integrating her own distinctive voice to make a sound world that casts new light on the whole opera. This new production is conducted by leading contemporary music specialist Gerry Cornelius and staged by the acclaimed British director John Fulljames, with The Orchestra of Scottish Opera. A co-production with The Opera Group, Scottish Opera, Bregenzer Festspiele and Young Vic in association with the London Sinfonietta. Co-commissioned by The Opera Group and Komische Oper Berlin.

| Edinburgh Festival Theatre, Edinburgh EH8 9FT, United Kingdom Saturday 31-Aug-13 07:30pm About the performanceJosé Montalvo combines farce, burlesque and commedia dell’arte for the 21st century with urban and modern dance, film and slapstick comedy in his brilliant new show.
Don Quixote, in his fifties, decides to achieve great things and finds himself in the dance halls, or Trocaderos, of Europe – traditional meeting and socialising spaces. Featuring acclaimed comic actor Patrice Thibaud and a spellbinding interplay of live dance and film projections, Montalvo’s latest work makes for an unexpected, surreal and intriguing take on Cervantes’s iconic novel.
As with his last Festival appearance with On Danse in 2007, in which dancers appeared to carry an elephant on a flying carpet and an army of tiny horses flew across the audience, in Montalvo’s creative universe, expect the unexpected.Image credit: Patrick Berger | ||
