The Seville Symphony Orchestra (ROSS) offers their annual charity event in aim of the bank of food for the city - Repertoire includes Nabucco, Carmen, The Barber of Seville and many more classical highlights.

Craig Revel-Horwood invites you to a fab-u-lous evening of music from the worlds of stage and screen.

Craig’s role as a Strictly Come Dancing judge is just a tiny part of the contribution he has made to the world of dance and musical theatre over the last 30 years. He’s worked as a performer, a choreographer and as director on the likes of Miss Saigon, Martin Guerre, Fiddler on the Roof, Guys and Dolls, Cats, Spend, Spend, Spend, Copacabana, Chess, Calamity Jane, Crazy for You, South Pacific, My One and Only and Sunset Boulevard… the list goes on and on.

Craig is joined by special guests and the BBC Concert Orchestra conducted by Alfonso Casado Trigo. BBC Radio 2 broadcasts from the Snape Proms as its weekly music show returns to Snape Maltings for a special edition of the programme in its 65th anniversary year.

A fun evening with Leonard Bernstein would inevitably lead at some stage to the piano, where the great man would fluently quote from anything from romantic symphonies to South American dances, Beatles songs, G&S, via possibly grand opera and Jewish Tango. But the thing is, he would connect them all up, and bring the whole world of music together in one glorious celebration of humanity. This is what Candide is like: a mad, clever, witty, optimistic riff on the best of humankind. Never has a Broadway show been more worked on and revised, and never has a madder idea been attempted – turning Voltaire’s stinging satire into musical theatre. But what shines through every time is Bernstein’s infectious, outrageous music. Voltaire’s blast against tyranny, snobbery and false moralising  is clearly felt deeply by Bernstein. And he has the genius to keep you pinned to your seat riveted by its brilliance, while your toes will inevitably be wiggling in time with the rhythms.

A star-studded cast from Broadway and the West End will bring it all to life.
