| St George's Bristol, Great George Street, Off Park Street, Bristol BS1 5RR, United Kingdom Saturday 1-Jun-13 07:30pm Bristol Classical Players The Bristol Classical Players’ Best of British season concludes with a concert that moves between the cool beauty of Vaughan Williams’ timeless Tallis Fantasia, via Finzi’s moving Clarinet Concerto to a great rarity: the 5th and final Symphony by Sir Hubert Parry. Best known for his setting of Jerusalem, this composer’s work has enjoyed greater exposure following the wedding of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, when it became known that the Prince of Wales was a fan. This gorgeous work, much admired by Elgar and others, promises to round off the season in style. | ||

| St George's Bristol, Great George Street, Off Park Street, Bristol BS1 5RR, United Kingdom Friday 14-Jun-13 07:30pm Opera Project: La Traviata In 1853 Verdi confirmed his place as the supreme Italian opera composer with La Traviata, a powerful story of love and honour.
This new production of his triumphant working of Dumas’ ‘La dame aux Camelias’ reveals the essence of opera at its heart, perfect for the intimate stage at St George’s. The clarity of the work rivals Mozart, and while the emotional dilemmas facing the three main protagonists are laid bare with simplicity and nuance, the impact and glorious colour of Verdi’s most famous work is not lost. | ||
