'West Side Story' a must see!

Running from Wednesday 29th January to Saturday 1st February at Exeter Northcott Theatre, the University of Exeter's musical theatre society, Footlights, presents a fantastic performance of Leonard Bernstein's West Side Story.

A modern-day take on the classic tale of Romeo and Juliet, this is one of the most well-loved and well-known musicals of all time. Footlights handles the atmosphere, accents and tension of Upper West Side New York beautifully, bringing it to the Northcott stage in a completely believable performance.

English Touring Opera presents Agrippina

Event Date: 
22/11/2013 - 7:30pm to 23/11/2013 - 7:30pm
Venue: 
Northcott Theatre, Exeter

Composing at speed to a scandalously witty libretto by a Cardinal, Vincenzo Grimaldi, Handel drew on his experience of the Italian style, plundering his catalogue of cantatas written for the intelligentsia of Rome and producing a youthful masterpiece of dazzling invention and virtuosity. Widely regarded as Handel’s first operatic masterpiece, Agrippina stands out for the quality of its music, full of freshness and musical invention.

Using many of the same characters as Monteverdi...
