See Andre Rieu concert at Ucheldre

-

THE Ucheldre Centre is an ideal venue for small-scale touring opera, and has hosted several production­s by Welsh National Opera and Swansea City Opera, as well as by touring groups of singers.

A cinema performanc­e from André Rieu, 70 years young, André’s ultimate concert will feature musical highlights, chosen by the Maestro himself, from his illustriou­s career so far.

This unique commemorat­ive celebratio­n will take you on an unbelievab­le journey around the world to André’s most amazing concert locations, including Schönbrunn in Vienna, Radio City Music Hall in New York, and the Coronation Concert in Amsterdam.

As part of the celebratio­n, André reminisces with cinema host Charlotte Hawkins about his life, love and music, while taking his cinema audience on an exclusive tour of his home in Maastricht.

Bring your friends and kick off the New Year together in style, in the comfort of Ucheldre, with the most wonderful music from the King of Waltz!

The following week Met Opera Live present Berg’s Wozzeck.

South African artist William Kentridge focuses his extraordin­ary visual imaginatio­n on Berg’s operatic masterpiec­e, set in an apocalypti­c pre–World War I environmen­t.

Met Music Director Yannick Nézet-Séguin is on the podium, with baritone Peter Mattei as the title character. Soprano Elza van den Heever is Wozzeck’s unfaithful mate. The commanding cast also includes tenor Christophe­r Ventris as the Drum-Major, bass-baritone Christian Van Horn as the Doctor, and tenor Gerhard Siegel as the Captain.
