Chichester Marks Holocaust Memorial Day:
The Last Train to Tomorrow
Perfect for fans of opera, heroic history and poignant storytelling
An opera composed by Carl Davis, tells the story of the flight in 1938-39 of 10,000 children from the Nazis. Kindertransport rescue trains to London, such as the ones organised by Sir Nicholas Winton from Prague, carried the children to safety.
Children from local schools will sing and play the parts of the children, accompanied by a professional orchestra conducted by Howard Moody.
Paradise Lost
Perfect for fans of epic tales, unconventional comedy and creative chaos
A one man staging of Milton’s epic poem Paradise Lost. Combining theatre, comedy and movement, this is a journey through the story of the creation of everything, condensed into 75 minutes. A single man plays all the characters, creates all the scenes and, despite his best efforts, falls a little short of perfection.
A show for anyone who has created anything (child, garden, paper aeroplane) and then watched it spiral out of control.
Riders to the Sea
Perfect for lovers of haunting tales, timeless music, and the power of family
Award-winning chamber opera company OperaUpClose bring their inimitable style to the Minerva for the first time.
Weaving together live performance, projection and recorded sound to create an intimate, visceral tale. Riders to the Sea follows a family in an ancient fishing community haunted by the grief of losing nearly all of their male members at sea.
