"This gripping new series brings to life Dickens' powerful story of struggle and hardship in 1820s London. When Arthur Clennam returns to London after many years abroad, his curiosity is aroused by the presence in his mother's house of a young seamstress, Amy Dorrit. His quest to discover the truth about 'Little Dorrit' takes him to the Marshalsea Debtors' Prison where he discovers that the dark shadows of debt stretch far and wide in a web of desperation and deceit. Filled with humorous yet tragic characters, Little Dorrit is a stirring rags to riches story exposing the underbelly of nineteenth century British society as only Charles Dickens can.'

'This vivid film of Wagner's romantic opera succeeds in conveying what has famously been called 'the wind that blows out at you whenever you open the score', including Daland's boat anchoring against the Sandwike cliffs, the red-sailed phantom ship and the ghost crew rising from the dead. 'Scenes that recall classic horror films... Brilliantly successful' (Nürnberger Nachrichten) 'Captures the work's essence' (Süddesutsche Zeitung).' Admission: $3.00 / R25.00 [free to Red Carpet members and subscribers] Friday 23 April at 6.30 p.m. Minkus: Don Quixote Robert Sibson Hall at 6.30 p.m. Carriages: 9.45 p.m. 'An explosive mix of Spanish sunshine and Russian classical dance, Don Quixote remains one of the most popular of ballets, bursting with riotous ensembles and spectacular pas de deux. Based on Cervantes' classic novel it was created by the greatest of all choreographers, Marius Petipa, and this performance features international stars Olesya Novikova and Leonid Sarafanov, and the full Mariinsky company in a fiesta of dance that has thrilled audiences all over the world." N.B. This is NOT the Baryshnikov version shown a year ago! Admission: $3.00 / R25.00 [free to Red Carpet members and subscribers] Friday 30 April Oliver!
