English National Opera Interviewing Andrew Foster Williams (as Don Alfonso) Mozart Così fan tutte Friday 27 February 7.00pm Saturday 28 February 3.00pm

How does it feel to be performing your role with ENO, in Manchester?

Can you tell us a little bit about your career to date?

I grew up in Wigan and had zero experience of Classical Music until my school drama department decided to stage Gilbert & Sullivan’s The Gondoliers. At 15, I must have been the youngest ever Grand Inquisitor! In the audience was a local singing teacher - Roy Dillon - who spotted a natural talent in me and, with the kind of generosity that changes lives, he offered free singing lessons to a working class boy who never could have afforded them otherwise. These twice weekly lessons instilled a passion for music in me that took me all the way to the Royal Academy of Music and a professional career that began in the UK at ENO, Glyndebourne, Opera North and Welsh National Opera and then, internationally, throughout North America and around Europe. I’m blessed to work with some amazing orchestras, conductors and opera directors and sing everything from Bach and Mozart to Wagner.

I love working back at home. I have vivid memories of coming to Manchester when I was young to watch concerts and I remember the excitement of coming to work at the Bridgewater for the very first time as a soloist. I sang Haydn’s Creation with Sir Mark Elder and the Hallé Orchestra, and it was such a thrill. The last time I sang here at the Bridgewater was Beethoven’s "Cantata on the Death of Emperor Joseph II" just before Covid hit. That concert will always have a very special place in my heart because it was the last time my father heard me sing before he passed away. Whenever I’m asked to sing in Manchester I always try to make it work. This is my first time singing an opera in concert in Manchester. Così fan tutte is the perfect piece for this because of the sheer beauty of the music. One can sit and absorb the elegance of Mozart and it will be my job particularly to ensure the narrative also shines through.

If your character had a modern dating profile, what would the bio say? It's a tricky question to answer… In many ways, the dating profile for Don Alfonso should say “Avoid at all costs!”. He’s clearly intelligent and charming, and yet can also be very cynical about love and romance. I’d be interested to know what his therapist would say about the origins of his wounded heart… He’s very suspicious of women, hence the title of the opera, so, if his profile ever pops up on your Tinder feed I would advise anyone to swipe left as quickly as possible. His bio would probably say “Wily cynic seeks two smitten couples as guinea pigs in order to prove his theory that Love is a losing game”

Whose disguise in the opera would fool you the most in real life? Don Alfonso’s disguise is the best of all. His disguise is deeper than any costume. Nobody ever knows who he really is or why he creates the mischief he creates. He’s an enigma, even to himself. I’m not sure I’d trust him as far as I could throw him but he’s the puppet master of the opera and we all love an evil genius.

The Hallé & Hallé Youth Orchestra: Side by Side Euan Shields conductor

Sunday 1 February 4.00pm Unsuk Chin Frontispiece Mussorgsky (orch. Ravel) Pictures at an Exhibition

Unsuk Chin

Two generations of Hallé musicians team up to perform alongside each other in this artistic duo of works. Unsuk Chin composed Frontispiece as a timelapse through musical history, taking and reinterpreting the styles and flourishes of several significant composers, from Tchaikovsky and Strauss to Webern and Stravinsky. It is kaleidoscopic in its construction; contrasting fragments from vastly different musical periods work together to create something entirely unique. This theme continues with Ravel’s orchestral arrangement of Mussorgsky’s Pictures at an Exhibition. Originally composed just for solo piano, the work leads the listener through several eclectic movements, each representing a painting by the artist Viktor Hartmann. Like Unsuk Chin’s piece, it is a kind of musical patchwork and, with Ravel’s orchestration, it utilises all the instrumental families to their full effect. Tickets £13.50 Concessions £11 Students & Under 18s £6.50 Concert sponsored by Esprit, Oglesby Charitable Trust and Siemens-Hallé International Conductors Competition

Twilight in Concert

Friday 6 February 7.30pm Celebrating 20 years since the publication of the first book, this live-to-film concert experience features a 12-piece ensemble of rock and orchestral musicians, transporting audiences on a journey deep into the heart of ‘forever’. Tickets £35.25 to £75.25

BBC Philharmonic - Rachmaninoff’s Symphonic Dances Technicolour dances and celestial legends Adam Hickox conductor Elisabeth Brauß piano Saturday 7 February 7.30pm

Camille Pépin is making waves. A brilliant new voice in contemporary music, her addictive, luxuriant work sits somewhere between the seemingly opposite worlds of French impressionism and American minimalism.

Elisabeth Brauß

Camille Pépin Les Eaux célestes Ravel Piano Concerto in G Rachmaninoff Symphonic Dances

Tonight, the BBC Philharmonic Orchestra performs her work in Manchester for the very first time. Les Eaux célestes tells the musical story of star-crossed lovers Orihime and Hikoboshi, a sky god’s daughter and a celestial cowherd who are drawn together by fate. Before the interval, pianist Elisabeth Brauß returns with Ravel’s Piano Concerto in G, a work bursting with jazz energy and Basque-inspired themes, and featuring one of classical music’s most moving slow movements. The concert concludes with Rachmaninoff’s Symphonic Dances, music characterised by soaring melodies, lush harmonies, and deep emotional intensity. Adam Hickox makes his Bridgewater Hall debut in this sparkling and generous programme of technicolour musical delights. Tickets £12 to £40 Concessions and discounts available

Punk Off!

Wednesday 11 February 7.30pm 50 years since punk and new wave kicked the door in, Punk Off storms the stage — louder, bolder, and messier than ever.

The Hallé – Beethoven’s Eroica Kahchun Wong conductor Jan Vogler cello

Thursday 12 February 7.30pm Sunday 15 February 4.00pm Unsuk Chin subito con forza Shostakovich Cello Concerto No.1 Beethoven Symphony No.3, ‘Eroica’ ‘Wong’s expansive gestures are audience-pleasing; sometimes it looked as if he was channelling the music from the performers to the audience in a very visual way.’ – Bachtrack, Dec 24, Kahchun Wong conducting Beethoven’s Seventh Symphony A cellist of international renown, Jan Vogler is no stranger to either of Shostakovich’s cello concertos. His 2020 recording of the Second garnered critical praise for its thoughtful introspection and ‘flawless intonation’ (The Classic Review). Shostakovich’s formidable First, generally agreed to be one of the most difficult concerto works for the instrument, performed by Jan, is certainly not to be missed. Unsuk Chin’s subito con forza, written in 2020 in tribute to Beethoven’s 250th anniversary, provides a characterful opening to the programme. In a reflection of this innovative work, Beethoven’s much-loved ‘Eroica’ – which broke expanses of new symphonic ground at the time of its composition – closes the concert. Tickets £18 to £51 Concessions and discounts available Concert sponsored by The Edwardian, Manchester 8

One of the most pioneering and influential musicians of all time, Mike Oldfield’s visionary Tubular Bells series spans three albums and 17 years, with Tubular Bells created in 1971 and released in 1973, Tubular Bells II released in 1992, (the filming of the premier from Edinburgh Castle is one of the most viewed and streamed musical events ever) and Tubular Bells III released in 1998, (with the excerpt of "Far above the Clouds" featured in the 2012 London Olympic Opening Ceremony).

The Hallé – The Planets

Love exists, but it is a fragile thing Ludovic Morlot conductor Lawrence Power viola

Unsuk Chin Le Chant des Enfants des Étoiles (Hallé commission / world premiere of revision) Holst The Planets Colin Matthews Pluto, the Renewer

Berg Lulu Suite: I. Rondo Cassandra Miller I Cannot Love Without Trembling Prokofiev Suite from Romeo and Juliet

In a magnificent chorus of Hallé singers, the Choir and the upper voices of the Youth Choir join Kahchun Wong for a celestial trio. Unsuk Chin’s Le Chant des Enfants des Étoiles is an intensely atmospheric work which will take you on an exploration through the stars and the infinite reaches of space. Recently revised by the composer, this concert presents the exciting world premiere of this updated version. While the most recognised of Holst’s The Planets in modern times are perhaps Mars, the Bringer of War and Jupiter, the Bringer of Jollity (featured in ‘I Vow to Thee, My Country’), hearing the complete suite in order provides an incredible musical journey through the solar system. Commissioned by the Hallé, Colin Matthews rose to the irresistible challenge of writing a complementary movement to Holst’s The Planets. A flurry of solar winds in the strings, and the lightning-fast scherzo Pluto, the Renewer was formed.

‘Human existence is so fragile a thing and exposed to such dangers that I cannot love without trembling’ – Simone Weil

Disney In Concert: The Sound of Magic

BBC Philharmonic - Romeo & Juliet

Kahchun Wong conductor Hallé Choir Matthew Hamilton, choral director Upper voices of the Hallé Youth Choir Stuart Overington, director Thursday 19 February 7.30pm

Saturday 21 February 7.30pm

Violist Lawrence Power returns to perform Cassandra Miller’s acclaimed Viola Concerto, a piece heralded on its 2022 premiere as an instant classic. Miller weaves her personal attachments into music, creating a work that is delicate, emotionally charged, and deeply human. Love, in Alban Berg’s Lulu, is a fleeting thing, as the irresistible Lulu moves quickly through a succession of suitors. The Rondo from Berg’s Suite is decadent and luxurious, with a hint of anxiety. Sergei Prokofiev would find a personal fragility through love, as the promise of a new ballet — what eventually turned out to be the tale of the star-crossed lovers, Romeo and Juliet — drew him back to a tumultuous Soviet Russia. In doing so, he created one of ballet’s most beloved scores. (And yes, it’s also the music from The Apprentice.) Tickets £12 to £40 Concessions and discounts available

Nathan Carter

Sunday 22 February 7.30pm Born in Liverpool to Irish parents from County Down, Nathan has released 13 studio albums and 6 live albums, with a sound that traverses pop, Irish folk, country music and timeless ballads.

Tickets £15.75 Concessions £14.25 | Students £11.75

The Hallé presents… Jonny Greenwood

André de Ridder conductor Daniel Pioro violin Jonny Greenwood electric bass and tanpura Thursday 26 February 7.30pm Lutosławski Musique funèbre Jonny Greenwood Water Steve Reich Pulse Jonny Greenwood Horror Vacui (UK premiere of revision) This concert celebrates Jonny Greenwood’s love of orchestral string writing. In Water, the warmth of the Hallé strings envelopes two flutes and an Indian tanpura on a journey of rippling colour. Lutosławski dedicated his moving Musique funèbre to the pioneering composer Bela Bartók whilst Steve Reich’s lyrical Pulse is a tenderly contemplative, yet constantly pulsating, work. Jonny Greenwood’s groundbreaking Horror Vacui, performed by Daniel Pioro, ‘the violinist making classical music cool’ (The Telegraph), plays upon the artistic concept of ‘the fear of empty spaces’ to astonishing effect. Using the full sonic potential of the solo violin and extensive string orchestra, he creates an eerily liminal soundscape, building in atmosphere and intensity throughout each movement. These are string instruments as you’ve never heard them before. Tickets £23.50 to £43.50 Concessions and discounts available

Manchester Midday Music: Mario Bobotsov piano Tuesday 24 February 1.00pm

Ferrando and Guglielmo reckon they’re loved-up for life, secure in romantic bliss with fiancées Dorabella and Fiordiligi. Don Alfonso, their older and more cynical pal, begs to differ. “Così fan tutte,” he tells the brothers. Women are all the same. And then he sets about trying to prove them wrong… Love, loyalty and the vagaries of human nature come under the microscope in Mozart’s comic masterpiece. Fast-rising director Ruth Knight directs a star-studded cast in this semi-staged production, arriving direct from the London Coliseum – part of ENO’s exciting new partnership with Greater Manchester. Tickets £25 to £75 Concessions and discounts available Student Tickets £8 (subject to availability) 13

Euan Shields conductor

Janáček Taras Bulba Shostakovich Symphony No.1 Euan Shields takes to the podium to lead the Hallé orchestra through this dark and supernatural programme.

Shostakovich’s First Symphony launched him into instant international stardom at the age of just 19. Written as a graduation exercise from Maximilian Steinberg’s composition class, the symphony possesses a profound maturity, as well as the simultaneous sense of wit and tragedy that would go on to become characteristic of Shostakovich’s later works.

The Hallé – Mullova plays Brahms Kahchun Wong conductor Viktoria Mullova violin

Thursday 19 March 7.30pm Sunday 22 March 4.00pm Wagner Tannhäuser: Overture Brahms Violin Concerto Bartók Concerto for Orchestra The exceptionally versatile violinist Viktoria Mullova teams up with Kahchun Wong for a performance of Brahms’ Violin Concerto. Intended to be a test of both the soloist’s technical ability and their musicianship, the work overflows with cadenzas – short, often improvised passages of notes – which give the soloist ample opportunity for real virtuosic display. Viktoria Mullova, whose playing has been praised by critics and audiences alike for its immense agility and richness of tone, is sure to bring us an unforgettable performance. Where concertos are usually a work comprised of a solo instrument accompanied by an orchestra, Bartók’s Concerto for Orchestra treats each instrumental family as if they were soloists in their own right. Let’s get ready to shine a spotlight on all sections of the orchestra. Tickets £18 to £51 Concessions and discounts available Concert sponsored by Manchester Airport Group, CMS and Zen Internet

BBC Philharmonic – Anthracite Fields

A community toils, rages and dreams BBC Singers John Storgårds conductor Saturday 21 March 7.30pm Julia Wolfe Anthracite Fields Laura Bowler New Work (world premiere)

Death and danger, community and power, all delivered with Wolfe’s trademark forthrightness. This symphonic arrangement of Anthracite Fields is a BBC Philharmonic Orchestra commission, in partnership with the Louisville Orchestra.

‘I guess I have a bias towards the grit.’ – Julia Wolfe

During the concert, you’ll also have the chance to hear the world premiere of Laura Bowler’s New Work.

Grit courses through Julia Wolfe’s Anthracite Fields, her Pulitzer Prize-winning oratorio for choir and ensemble that serves as a musical memorial to American miners and their struggle.

Laura Bowler’s piece is a BBC Philharmonic Orchestra commission. Please note, the world premiere of Laura Bowler’s New Work has moved from its previously scheduled date of 29 November.

Wolfe grew up in coal-rich Pennsylvania – with vast deposits of anthracite, coal’s purest form – and saw firsthand how intertwined the means of fuelling a nation were with human toil and sacrifice. Through extensive research and oral histories, Wolfe weaves together stories of labour, loss, and resistance – stories that could just as easily come from the Yorkshire pits or the South Lancashire coalfields, where mining was not just a job but a way of life.

Tickets £12 to £40 Concessions and discounts available

We hear testimonies from men risking serious injury, communities remembering the fallen, the fiery words of 20

union leader John M. Lewis, and a few voices daring to hope. Wolfe’s writing is equal parts fluid and direct, drawing from her established sources — chorales, rock music, minimalism — as she looks unsparingly at the past.

The Hallé – A Sea Symphony

Tarmo Peltokoski conductor Chen Reiss soprano Huw Montague Rendall baritone Hallé Choir Matthew Hamilton, choral director Hallé Youth Choir Stuart Overington, director Thursday 16 April 7.30pm Sunday 19 April 4.00pm Mahler Rückert-Lieder Vaughan Williams Symphony No.1, ‘A Sea Symphony’ Tarmo Peltokoski is joined by a duo of star-studded soloists and two generations of Hallé singers for Vaughan Williams’ immense Sea Symphony, a groundbreaking work in the symphonic and choral repertoire for its use of the chorus and vocal soloists as an integral part of its texture. Crafted around the poetic words of Walt Whitman, the work vividly and poignantly illustrates the journey of the human soul, through the metaphor of intrepid sailors weighing the anchor and exploring the ocean wide. In the first half of the concert, we hear Chen Reiss’ performance of Mahler’s gloriously romantic Rückert-Lieder. Mahler was driven by melody – often incorporating many of his favourites within the symphonies for which he is known – and this quintet of songs contains some of his best.

Ives The Unanswered Question György Kurtág Double Concerto Thomas Adès Lieux retrouvés Debussy Images pour orchestra

Julia Wolfe Big Beautiful Dark and Scary Tchaikovsky Violin Concerto Berlioz Symphonie fantastique

Thomas Adès conductor Dénes Várjon piano Nicolas Altstaedt cello

Out of near-death experiences – life Anja Bihlmaier conductor Bomsori Kim violin

‘This is how life feels right now.’ – Julia Wolfe Dénes Várjon and Nicolas Altstaedt compete in Kurtág’s commanding Double Concerto, as Thomas Adès conducts. ‘One of the most unusual pieces written for cello’ (Bachtrack), Kurtág’s brilliant Double Concerto engages both soloists and an orchestra divided into two sparring sections, physically separated within the performance space, in an intense dialogue. What results is an extraordinary listening experience: surrounded by music from several directions at once. Ives’ The Unanswered Question also immerses the listener in sound, with druid-like strings beneath the questioning trumpet and increasingly chaotic woodwind. In contrast, Thomas Adès’ peaceful Lieux retrouvés (Rediscovered Places) explores natural and man-made landscapes whilst Debussy’s revolutionary Images, three orchestral montages combining harmony, texture and colour, creates musical paintings that changed orchestral writing forever. Tickets £18 to £51 Concessions and discounts available

The 80's Show

Friday 24 April 7.30pm Get ready to step back in time and relive the iconic sounds of the greatest musical era as The 80s Show takes you on a nostalgic journey, celebrating the unforgettable hits that defined a generation! Tickets £33.25

Wolfe was two blocks from the Twin Towers when the planes hit on September 11, 2001. Big Beautiful Dark and Scary is the sound of that aftermath: an ominous, awesome wall of sound. When he wrote his Violin Concerto, Tchaikovsky was also recuperating from personal turmoil: after a collapsed marriage and a failed suicide attempt, he escaped to the shores of Lake Geneva. In the company of a violinist muse – Josef Kotek – Tchaikovsky created a concerto of romance, peace and jollity, and a celebrated classic of the repertoire. Personal suffering is distant in Tchaikovsky’s concerto, but front-and-centre of Hector Berlioz’s Symphonie fantastique. Originally titled ‘Episodes in the Life of an Artist’, this “fantastic symphony in five parts” follows the tribulations of a gifted artist who, out of an unrequited love for a woman, falls into a deep malaise, and travels through opium-addled hallucinations. High drama. Tickets £12 to £40 Concessions and discounts available
