Brighton Dome is the cultural hub of Britain’s most creative city and the south coast’s premier multi-arts venue. Our three historic spaces – Concert Hall, Corn Exchange and Pavilion Theatre – have played host to some equally historic moments from Abba’s 1974 Eurovision victory and Jimi Hendrix’s album preview to Brian Eno’s 2010 Festival stewardship.

/brightdome and /brightfest

The story of Brighton Dome and Festival begins in 1805 as riding stables for the Prince Regent. Queen Victoria was not enamoured with the building and donated it to the people of Brighton, ever since, the city has preserved this historic building. It was even used as a field hospital during WW1 and a roller rink before becoming the leading arts venue we know and love today.

Whatever your story, we’d love to hear from you.

Welcome

Spring into the Arts

STOMP

Welcome to our spring season, three months of first-class arts and entertainment across the three performing spaces at Brighton Dome and Festival.

STOMP – the British theatrical sensation that has become a truly global phenomenon – comes home to Brighton. With brand new routines, new choreography and new music, STOMP is now fresher, faster and funnier than ever!

As leaders in bringing international dance to the city we are showcasing wonderful talent from around the world with first UK visits from Danish Dance and New York’s Ailey 2, part of the iconic Alvin Ailey American Dance Theatre. We also have a return visit from the very popular parody ballet troupe, Les Ballets Trockerdero de Monte Carlo and a welcome return home for the global phenomenon that is Stomp.

Our music programme is equally globetrotting, ranging from the quintessentially English Penguin Cafe Orchestra to both the Buena Vista Social Club™ and the Creole Choir from Cuba. In classical music we welcome the Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra for their first of regular visits to us alongside our long-standing and very important residencies with the London Philharmonic and Brighton Philharmonic Orchestras. We also continue to build a regular series of chamber music events with recitals from acclaimed pianist Paul Lewis and our associate artists the Heath Quartet.

Our audience has shown a growing hunger for theatre across both the Pavilion Theatre and the Corn Exchange.

So this season’s programme includes returns for Joe Bone in Bane II and also Lone Twin following their sell out event from last year’s Brighton Festival. Plus don’t miss our second Scratch Night where you get to sample a selection of new works in development and offer your much valued feedback to our artists as part of our Artist Development programme.

With our new Foyer Bar – now open 6 days a week – free events like our Mother’s Day open day, our members scheme packed with discounts and exclusives, opportunities to meet the artists and an ever evolving series of workshops and participatory activities, there are more ways than ever to get involved. I do hope to see you at Brighton Dome this spring.

Mother’s Day Special Open Day

Once again Brighton Dome offers the mothers of Brighton & Hove a relaxing treat on their special day. Join us in the spacious and soothing environment of the Brighton Dome Foyer to enjoy live music plus performances and activities to keep the children busy. Massages are available plus one free glass of Prosecco for all mums! Watch out for special tours and free events across the cultural quarter venues.

Danish Dance Theatre Scandinavia’s foremost dance company celebrates its 30th anniversary with its first ever UK visit. Combining the classical lines of ballet with the power of modern dance, this triple bill showcases the company’s diverse range and British born artistic director Tim Rushton’s distinct movement vocabulary.

‘ One of those breathtaking moments for which every dance fan hopes.’ Boston Herald (on Kridt)

‘ ...a brilliant and imaginative production showing us all the future of British dance is in safe hands.’ The Stage (on Magpie)

Enigma – with music by Mathias FriisHansen – layers sensual duets as the dancers strive for a shared understanding.

CaDance – a testosterone-fuelled competition between the company’s five male dancers, is driven by Andy Pape’s thrilling score performed live onstage by two drummers.

Valentine’s Ball

Anton & Erin

May

Who says the art of romance is dead! Brighton Dome’s annual Valentine’s Ball has become a perennial favourite for star-crossed lovers (or just good friends!) of all ages and genders, offering an unforgettable evening of classic ballroom dance.

Following last year’s hugely popular first visit, Anton Du Beke and Erin Boag are back for their latest ballroom extravaganza.

A darkly humorous modern-day romance told through dance, text and song.

with the Berkeley Square Society Band

The 2005 award-winning Kridt (Chalk) – inspired by Peteris Vasks’s suite for strings Musica Adventus and the texts of Ecclesiastes – reimagines one man’s life as he faces his own mortality.

The 10-piece Berkeley Square Society Band provides the music, evoking a golden age of the foxtrot, quickstep and cha-cha-cha. So if you want to waltz till you wilt, or simply sit back and soak up the ambience, make your Valentine’s date a night to remember...

Probe

Dance icons and national treasures, Anton and Erin are best known as favourites of BBC1’s ballroom phenomenon Strictly. The couple have partnered a glittering array of celebrities from Lesley Garrett and Esther Rantzen to Julian Clarey, Austin Healey and, this season, Anne Widdicombe.

Here they present a new live celebration of ballroom dance set to the timeless music of Cole Porter, Leonard Bernstein and Irving Berlin. Featuring guest dancers and live orchestra (conducted by Richard Balcombe).

May is on the brink, doing all she can to stop her thoughts from tipping her over the edge. Douglas thinks too much. He fancies himself as a bit of a writer.

He wants his words to change May’s world, but he has problems of his own.

Written by Tim Crouch (Royal Court, National Theatre) and directed by Pete Shenton (New Art Club), this daring dance theatre work is the latest iconic production from award-winning Probe (Have we met somewhere before? and Magpie). It is brought to life by Probe artistic director Antonia Grove, Lost Dog’s Ben Duke and performer/musician Scott Smith.

Ailey 2 New York’s outstanding young company Alvin Ailey 2 brings an exhilarating dance programme to Brighton Dome.

Dance Les Ballets Trockadero de Monte Carlo

‘ No matter how many times the dancers… perform Revelations, it evokes tears with its blend of grace and rapture.’ Washington Post

Ballet’s very-grandes dames are back!

Les Ballets Trockadero de Monte Carlo (or ‘The Trocks’ to their friends) return with a lorry load of costume changes and lashings of diva attitude.

Ailey 2 grew out of the eponymous Alvin Ailey American Dance Theatre, formed in 1958 by the legendary African-American dancer and choreographer. Under former Ailey dancer Sylvia Waters, Ailey 2 draws together America’s best young dance talent, translating their strength, agility, grace and soul into stirring and powerful performances.

‘ Each Trocks visit brings delicious new surprises... we might have come to laugh but we stayed to worship.’ ***** Sunday Telegraph

Together, this acclaimed ensemble produces a diverse dance repertoire that includes Alvin Ailey’s signature work Revelations and thrilling new works by today’s most in-demand choreographers.

The Trocks’ dance extravaganzas are an inspired blend of sharp-eyed parody and pin-point homage to the formal world of classical ballet. Their comic calling card is that all parts are played by men: the heroes, the villains, the swans, even the princesses! Winners of the Critics Circle National Dance Awards and the TMA Theatre Award, they are an international phenomenon. Catch them in full flight for ‘the funniest night you’ll ever have at the ballet.’ (Sunday Times) Presented by Dance Consortium

LOL (lots of love) Luca Silvestrini’s Protein

Argentina’s hottest dance company is back direct from Buenos Aires.

And this time it stokes up the heat with a brand new production Tango Fire – Flames of Desire.

Logging on to our lives online, LOL (lots of love) delves into the world of electronic communication to uncover the evolutionary shift that social networking and the Internet have had upon the way we live, love one another and belong to society in general.

The show features ten dancers – including three world tango champions – accompanied by live quartet, Quatrotango, and one of Argentina’s finest young singers. Together they bring this archetypal art form to life with all its rawness and sophistication, sensual energy and grown-up passion.

Smouldering men; beautiful women and breathless dance – this is tango at its most seductive and fiery.

With video animation and lighting by the co-creators of Protein’s Dear Body, plus original sound score, LOL (lots of love) resounds with trademark black humour, social comment and high-energy physical theatre.

Join the cast on stage 30 minutes before performance for a traditional milonga, a public dance that replicates the atmosphere of the late night dance halls of Buenos Aires. (Limited numbers will apply & no stilettos permitted.)

Richard Thompson is one of Britain’s greatest living songwriters and a dazzling guitar virtuoso, capable of breathtaking drama and sublime delicacy. His songs have been covered by everyone from R.E.M to Elvis Costello.

If you thought Cuba was all about rum and salsa, think again. The Creole Choir of Cuba tells a whole new story. The choir’s Latin name Desandann means literally ‘descendants’. Their a cappella songs – rich harmonies and jubilant melodies accompanied only by the feverish beat of congas – preserve and celebrate the Haitian folk traditions of their ancestors.

Last year – prior to curating the prestigious Meltdown Festival – Thompson took off to America’s West Coast with full electric band. The result was Dream Attic, a powerful collection of all new material recorded live on the road. Now in a special UK tour, Thompson brings this new album and new band to the UK stage, demonstrating once again why he’s the most revered and compelling of all live performers.

On the back of a string of five-star reviews, they’ve recently been snapped up by Peter Gabriel’s Real World label, played WOMAD and guested on Later... with Jools Holland. Their music is unlike anything you’ve heard before, performed with virtuosic bravado and cathartic emotion.

Penguin Cafe Orchestra & Portico Quartet Formed in 1972, Simon Jeffes’ genre-busting collective Penguin Cafe ploughed a unique musical furrow, taking in everything from 16th-century pastorals to Cajun hoedown. Since then their music has permeated contemporary culture including films like Napoleon Dynamite and countless theme tunes. Following last year’s sets at Big Chill, Bestival and a sell-out Albert Hall Prom, Penguin Cafe is back. If one band has inherited PCO’s joyous eclecticism, it’s the Mercury-nominated Portico Quartet. Citing influences from Miles Davis and Philip Glass to Malian kora master Toumani Diabate – and named-checked alongside the likes of Radiohead and EST – its percussive jazz hooks and contemporary classical textures are pleasingly familiar yet thrillingly new.

Esben and the Witch Brighton-based trio, signed to the achingly cool indie label Matador perform their debut album Violet Cries.

Taking their name from a dark Danish folk tale, they often weave fairytale elements into their music and shows with porcelain owls, alabaster busts and Victorian lamp-posts, creating an odd, other worldly atmosphere of claustrophobic and brooding sounds.

These rising stars are one to watch.

Rising from the creative hotbed of Florida in 2003, A Day to Remember combined the punk-pop of Blink 182 and New Found Glory with brutal hardcore beats, sending shudders through the underground. Following their ubiquitous rocked-up cover of Kelly Clarkson’s Since U Been Gone, and 2008’s summer long Vans Warped Tour, comes the band’s latest album Homesick, their heaviest and catchiest yet, guaranteed to launch them into the big time.

Fantasy-Overture The Tempest Walk to the Paradise Garden Concerto for Violin and Cello Symphony No. 5 in E minor

An Anglo-Russian programme exploring two very popular and two less familiar works by well-known composers.

Tchaikovsky’s Fifth is probably the most played and widely recognised of all his symphonies. Delius’s Walk to the Paradise Garden is similarly well-loved and frequently performed. Presented alongside these perennial favourites are two works by the same composers, both rarely heard in the modern concert hall: first, the former’s Fantasy-Overture The Tempest – with its tone picture of stormy and still seas; then the latter’s little known Double Concerto, performed here in anticipation of Delius’s 150th anniversary next year.

Walton Coronation March Crown Imperial Vaughan Williams Five Mystical Songs Walton Belshazzar’s Feast

Mozart Beethoven Schumann

Mysticism, kings and kingsmanship underpin this all-English programme. The Old Testament drama of the Babylonian king and his fated downfall found its most powerful expression in Walton’s monumental Belshazzar’s Feast, commissioned for the 1931 Leeds Festival and notable for its huge orchestration. His Crown Imperial was written for the Coronation of George VI in the immediate aftermath of the abdication crisis.

Vaughan Williams’ Five Mystical Songs sets four poems

by George Herbert from his 1633 collection The Temple: Sacred Poems. Featured soloist Njabulo Madlala is winner of the Kathleen Ferrier Award in 2010.

After last season’s unashamedly romantic Valentine’s Day concert, this year the BPO examines the slightly darker aspects of love in the tribulations of Mozart’s Magic Flute and the trials of the Schumann/Wieck love story echoed in the Rhenish symphony. Love, they say comes in all forms and Beethoven’s third piano concerto stems from the period of his life in which his political allegiances bordered on love for a consul – Napoleon Bonaparte!

Brahms’s youthfully bumptious and celebratory Academic Festival Overture opens this concert. It closes with Mahler’s Fourth Symphony, the shortest, smallest and arguably most popular of his symphonic works. Its finale – the soprano setting of the Wunderhorn song Das himmlische Leben – reflects a child’s vision of heaven and was originally meant to round off the last movement of Mahler’s Third Symphony.

Overture Coriolan Konzertstücke in D Symphony No. 2 in D major

This final concert opens with Beethoven’s depiction of the conflict between bravado and tenderness, a classic of his middle period compositional style. Dohnányi was an almost exact contemporary of Bartok but their musical styles are very different. Here, instead of one of his more familiar piano works, the orchestra performs his passionate and melodic Konzertstücke for cello, marking a welcome return visit for soloist Thomas Carroll. Finally, Brahms’s second symphony – moving from its quiet and soulful opening movements to its cheerful, lyrical finale – lends a spring-like air of optimism to the conclusion of this closing concert.

Danail Rachev conductor Sofya Gulak piano* Schubert Overture Rosamunde Rachmaninov Piano Concerto No. 3 Beethoven Symphony No. 7 The theme that opens Rachmaninov’s Third Piano Concerto oozes Slavic atmosphere so readily you can almost taste it. What follows is an astounding piece that leads its listeners through a series of hypnotic aural sensations, each as alluring as the last. It could well be the aesthetic opposite to Beethoven’s most rugged, potently charged symphony. The Seventh is all ‘sit-up-and-listen’ next to Rachmaninov’s ‘lie-back-and-hear’. With their common strength, vision and beauty, they make the perfect orchestral concert partners. * Winner of the 2009 Leeds International Piano Competition.

Haydn Dvořák Brahms

This spring multi award-winning pianist Paul Lewis embarks on a two-year Schubert project, performing all the composer’s mature piano works from the Wanderefantasie onwards. This recital showcases some of these key pieces including perhaps the most exuberant of all Schubert’s sonatas, the 17th, written in the mountain spa of Gastein in 1825 during a rare interlude of joyful repose in what was otherwise a markedly turbulent and troubled life.

Paul Lewis is one of today’s most distinctive and poetic pianists. He won the Gramophone Instrumental Award and Record of the Year in 2008, his 2009 recording of Schubert’s Winterreise with Mark Padmore was a Gramophone and Sunday Telegraph pick of the year, and last year he became the first ever pianist to play all five Beethoven piano concertos during a single Proms season.

We are delighted to welcome the BSO for the first two concerts in a new regular season at Brighton Dome.

String Quartet in D, Op. 71 No. 2 String Quartet in E flat, Op. 51 No. 10 Piano Quintet in F minor, Op. 34

Brighton Dome is delighted to welcome back these accomplished young musicians as part of a new series of chamber music performances in the Corn Exchange.

Written to be performed in London’s 800-seater Hanover Square rooms, Haydn’s Opus 71 quartets are arguably his most bold and outgoing statements in the form. Dvořák’s ‘Slavic’ Opus 51 Quartet resonates with nationalistic pride, its spirited Czech folk dance motifs brought to an exuberant finale with a boisterous Bohemian reel. Brahms’ Piano Quintet was completed during the summer of 1864 and was dedicated to Her Royal Highness the Princess Anne of Hesse. The work began life as a string quintet, following which Brahms transcribed the quintet into a sonata for two pianos before taking its final form.

The Heath Quartet was formed in 2002 at the RNCM under Dr Christopher Rowland.

Selected by YCAT in 2008, they won first prize and the Audience Prize at the Tromp International Competition in Eindhoven and second prize at the Haydn International Competition in Vienna. They made their Brighton Festival debut in 2010 in the same year as releasing their debut CD recording.

Arabian Nights Kirill Karabits

conductor

R Strauss Rimsky-Korsakov

Don Quixote Scheherazade

The likely inspiration for Szymanowski’s Violin Concert No.1 was Noc Majowa, a poem by the Polish poet Tadeusz Micinski. Containing music of considerable originality and beauty, it displays the composer’s penchant for sensuous, rhapsodic meditation.

Richard Strauss’s Don Quixote is the most elaborate and richly detailed attempt to portray musically the adventures of Cervantes’ romantically deranged hero. Three themes depicting Don Quixote, his love Dulcinea and the ever faithful Sancho Panza are ingeniously transformed and combined as a succession of musical tableaux.

Rimsky-Korsakov’s Scheherazade follows the stories of Aladdin, Sinbad and Ali Baba, which have long since passed into folk legend in the West. The music overflows with invention, masterful orchestration and unbridled energy.

Since taking on the position of principal conductor of the BSO in September 2009, Kirill Karabits has received a huge amount of critical acclaim for performances and recordings with the orchestra.

The Eroica is arguably Beethoven’s first truly Romantic composition. It opens with two staggering chords that announce to the world the arrival of a precocious new talent and force of personality that has rarely been matched since.

I can’t believe this but they are making me go and do MORE of these bloody shows...

Anyway, if it is a bad telly night, then come and watch me mucking about. I’ll be doing 3 jokes, 2 impressions and 1 dance. Bye. From Angelos. Age 16+

Keepers

Bane II

A one-man show written and performed by Joe Bone

The Plasticine Men 200 years ago, far off the Welsh coast, one man faced an ordeal so diabolical that it would go down in maritime legend, changing the way lighthouses were run forever.

Bane is back and this time he means business.

Using live music and little more than a ladder and a trapdoor, The Plasticine Men conjure up the confines of the infamous Smalls Lighthouse and the stormy companionship of its two keepers. Based on a true story.

Hired hand Bruce Bane works the mean streets of pulp fiction. As he goes about his shadowy business down back alleys and eerie sidewalks, he shoots from the hip and asks questions later. Inspired by hard-boiled detective stories and classic film Noir, Bane II is the second instalment of Joe Bone’s hilarious one-man trilogy.

The Plasticine Men are an award winning collective of theatre-smiths, scouring the land for stories that beg to be told onstage.

Joe plays all the parts, bringing his comic antihero and tale of bloody revenge to life with just his body, his voice and live guitar soundtrack.

Sid Lester’s Big Night In

Scratch Night

Meet Sid Lester, old-time vaudevillian and natural raconteur as he takes arms against the threat of time.

He wants to entertain you with a tap-dance and a ditty, intertwined with anecdotes from his many years on stage. He may lose track of what is past and what is present, of what is real and what is imagined.

Brighton Dome & Festival’s Artist Development Programme supports and mentors selected local artists to help develop new work.

One thing for certain is that he will hold the stage like a trouper and recreate (if a tad more arthritically) the finale of his unforgettable 1985 Royal Variety performance.

For a taste of tomorrow’s theatre and performance today, check out our Scratch Night. Catch new productions before the curtain goes up, and get special sneak previews of work-in-progress performed in front of an audience for the very first time. What’s more, this is your chance to make a difference: have your say and help shape the work itself by giving the actors and creators your feedback after the show.

Written and Performed by Sue MacLaine Sue MacLaine is supported by and through the Artist Development programme at Brighton Dome and Festival.

Contact ad@brighton.org for more info and submit your proposals for inclusion.

Sid’s still got it.’

Time for the Good-Looking Boy Box Clever

Time for the Good-Looking Boy is a compelling, witty, one-man show about the harsh realities of growing up, independence and a journey that will change lives forever. Written by Michael Wicherek and presented by Box Clever (Dirty Kissing; Sixteen Up), it is an extraordinary story of an ordinary young man.

The Catastrophe Trilogy Lone Twin Theatre

A celebration of the human spirit’s ability to survive even the most testing of times, The Catastrophe Trilogy is made up of three pieces which share a common interest in the act of storytelling. Touching, comic and resolutely hopeful, this is a unique collection of works by this ever-surprising international ensemble.

image: Oliver Jeffers

2pm Alice Bell (2006) is a fictional character born into a fictional conflict, seeks happiness in a divided land, finding love and companionship but at a terrible cost.

Part DIY-musical, part fairy-tale, Alice Bell offers a portrait of life as an act of hope, life as something to sing and dance about.

4.30pm Daniel Hit By A Train (2009) is inspired by Postman’s Park, a Victorian memorial in the City of London commemorating 53 people who each lost their lives in the act of saving another. Each tragedy is told in turn, in all its comedic, vaudevillian glory. Sincere, but unafraid to raise a smile to these most selfless of souls, Daniel Hit By A Train stands as a testimony to our need and instinct to help each other.

DRUM

Storm in a Teacup

Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome to the greatest show on earth... An ageing circus company has stuck together through thick and thin, struggling against all the odds to survive. But is it finally last chance saloon and will this be their last curtain call?

An inter-galactic adventure tale for families and young children. Oliver Jeffers, award-winning author of How to Catch a Star and Lost and Found, returns with an inter-galactic tale about a little boy seeking adventure.

One of Britain’s best-loved creators of theatre for the very young presents a new multi-sensory adventure.

Listen to the gentle rhythm of the big bass drum, watch the shadows dancing on the surface of small drums. This intimate, interactive show combines the magic of performance with the sheer pleasure of taking part to conjure a creative wonderland of the imagination.

Created by Alison Duddle and Bob Frith.

Big Wooden Horse

Tightrope – Amici Dance Theatre Company’s 30th anniversary production – is a circus experience like no other. There’s clowns and jugglers, knife throwers and illusionists, trapeze artists and aerialists, and, of course, the not-to-be-missed, death-defying tightrope walker. All delivered with Amici’s trademark colour, movement and anarchic spirit.

Amici integrate able-bodied and disabled artists and performers to challenge conventional attitudes to disability and the arts.

Oily Cart

One day a boy finds a plane in his cupboard. He flies his plane higher and higher until he runs out of petrol and lands on the moon. He is frightened, lost and alone until a passing Martian lands there too! Who is the strange alien? Can they be friends? And how will they find their way back home?

This exciting new production for families and young children has been created by the team behind the hit shows The Night Before Christmas and Don’t Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus!

There are two shows; 11am - babies and toddlers aged 6 months to 2 years.

30 capacity including adults 2pm - young people with profound and multiple learning disabilities or an Autistic Spectrum Condition, aged 2-11yrs. Capacity is for 6 young people and 6 carers.

It’s not always easy making friends, especially when you live in a lighthouse surrounded by dangerous rocks, towering waves and troublemaking seagulls.

An exciting opportunity for a tea party with a friend arises when the supply boat comes, but the lighthouse keeper’s nervousness turns what could have been a delight into a disaster. It is only when a storm blows in and real disaster looms that he can find the courage to save the day and rebuild his friendship.

Told with an inventive mix of masks, puppetry and music, this delightful family showcomes from the same team that brought you Little Leap Forward.

The Interminable Suicide Of Brighton Festival 2011 Gregory Church Written and Performed by Daniel Kitson

Gregory had fifty seven letters to write. He’d never written that many letters, not in one go. In fact, he’d never written a single letter and it was taking significantly longer than he’d anticipated. He’d started, full of optimism, curiously enough, at 9 am and now here he was 8 hours later half way through letter twenty four. He glanced at his watch and then at the noose hanging over his head.

Gregory sighed.

Had he known how long suicide letters take, he thought, he wouldn’t have cancelled the milk for the morning.

The story of a death postponed by life.
