Beethoven: An die ferne Geliebte
Schubert: Schwanengesang
Roderick WIlliams: baritone
Iain Burnside: piano
"You have never seen me sad; let it not happen now, on parting…” Schubert’s Schwanengesangcollects the last thoughts of one of music’s noblest spirits. Tender, heartfelt and profound, it’s a whole music-drama in miniature. And you’ll never hear it sung with more understanding or love than by two of the world’s greatest living interpreters of lieder: Roderick Williams and the incomparable Iain Burnside. The evening opens with the first ever song cycle by a major composer, Beethoven's 'To the Distant Beloved'.
"Williams perfectly captured the balance between anger and irony, bittersweet recollection and despair, and made every word, every syllable, matter."

In this brand new show, Lee shares his stage with a tough-talking werewolf comedian from the dark forests of North America who hates humanity. The Man-Wulf lays down a ferocious comedy challenge to the culturally irrelevant and enfeebled Lee.
