BBC Singers: Bach's B Minor Mass
The BBC Singers join the Academy of Ancient Music under Chief Conductor Sofi Jeannin for one of the ‘greatest musical works of art of all times and nations’: Bach’s monumental Mass in B minor. A Catholic Mass by a devout Lutheran composer, finished the year before Bach’s death in spite of failing health and eyesight, this work was likely never performed in its entirety during Bach’s lifetime. Featuring choir and orchestra with extended wind section, strings and continuo, today it is widely regarded as one of the most extraordinary achievements in classical repertoire.Read more

Fighting Weight
Step into the ring with Jodie Scott: she's got a killer right hook, a questionable walkout playlist, and an Alexa that won't stop calling her fat. With only three weeks to drop a weight class, she's training for the fight of her life. But when you're your own worst sparring partner, not all knockouts happen in the ring. Fighting Weight by Madeleine Palander is a darkly comedic one-woman show about boxing, appetite, and the brutal suppression of women's desires. It's a punch against the systems that teach women to shrink: in body, voice and desire. After an incredible period of R&D with director Hope Wishart, the show returns with expanded physical storytelling and deeper thematic ambition. 18th and 19th of March | Theatre DeliRead more
