Only the Brave is an epic new musical about love, friendship and, above all, hope - recounting the raw courage and determination of those who fought and felt the physical and emotional pain of the Second World War.

It tells the story of a group of brave soldiers embarking on a dangerous mission that holds the key to the success of the D-Day Landings.

This rousing and original musical interweaves the soldier’s stories with that of their families and loved ones.

Based on true events, Only The Brave evokes the camaraderie and bravery of the second world war generation.

This archive version was filmed in 2016 by AdVision TV Ltd at Wales Millennium Centre , co-produced with Soho Theatre, Daniel Sparrow Productions and Birdsong Productions with a cast of Welsh musical stars led by Caroline Sheen and David Thaxton.

Written by Rachel Wagstaff, with music by Cardiff born composer Matthew Brind and directed by Steve Marmion.

Bristol Old Vic's acclaimed production of Messiah.

Exploring the dramatic heart of Messiah, this is a powerful dramatisation of Handel’s profound masterpiece. The death of a messianic leader has left his bereaved community of followers struggling with conflict, doubt and the shaking of faith that this has awoken.

See and hear Messiah as Handel controversially intended – performed for the people in a theatre, rather than in a sacred space.

Opening our inaugural streamed theatre season, this 'astonishingly beautiful' dramatised concert (The Stage), captured and edited by CinemaLive, is directed by Tom Morris (War Horse, Touching the Void) and performed by one of Europe’s most celebrated Baroque orchestras, The English Concert, under their Artistic Director Harry Bicket.

★ ★ ★ ★ "Direct and impactful" The Times
★ ★ ★ ★ "Astonishingly beautiful" The Stage

MORE INFO
This dramatised production of Messiah is staged by Bristol Old Vic’s Tony Award-winning Artistic Director Tom Morris with design by Anna Orton (King Lear). It features internationally-renowned soloists Catherine Wyn Rogers and Julia Doyle, The Erebus Ensemble (Songs of Hope) and Europe's most celebrated Baroque orchestra The English Concert, under the revered baton of Conductor Harry Bicket.

Jamie Beddard (actor and Artistic Director of Bristol company Extraordinary Bodies) reprises his role from the 2017 theatre production as he performs the central non-speaking role of The Beloved.

Recorded in April 2017, Messiah returned to Bristol Old Vic following its sell-out debut at Bristol Proms in 2013. UK Theatre Web, Stage Talk, Classical Source, and The Reviews Hub all gave the production five-star reviews. The Times said “Director Tom Morris makes good use of the Old Vic’s intimate auditorium for this direct and impactful interpretation of Handel’s oratorio”. The Stage called it “astonishingly beautiful” and “a relatable and very human story of loss and grief”.

Positioned between opera and theatre, this powerfully accessible interpretation of Handel’s seminal work explores the drama and struggle of faith, showing a bereaved community whose grief at the loss of their leader is transformed into hope through a narrative of resurrection. Inspired by early performances of the work, which were staged in theatres and concert halls rather than churches, including its first performance at Bristol Old Vic in 1782, it is a rare treat for connoisseurs and enthusiasts alike.

Please note, this show is available until Sun 7th June.

A Midsummer Night's Dream. Bridge Theatre. FREE online (until Thu 2nd July)

Watch the Bridge Theatre’s magical and immersive production of A Midsummer Night’s Dream.

‘Are you sure that we are awake? It seems to me that yet we sleep, we dream.’

Gwendoline Christie, Oliver Chris, David Moorst and Hammed Animashaun lead the cast as Titania, Oberon, Puck and Bottom, in Shakespeare’s most famous romantic comedy.

A feuding fairy King and Queen cross paths with four runaway lovers and a troupe of actors trying to rehearse a play. As their dispute grows, the magical royal couple meddle with mortal lives in the forest, to hilarious, but dark, consequences.

Directed by Nicholas Hytner, this production of A Midsummer Night’s Dream builds on the success of his immersive staging of Julius Caesar (filmed live in 2018). The theatre becomes a forest – a dream world of flying fairies, contagious fogs and moonlight revels, surrounded by a roving audience following the action on foot.

The running time is 2 hours 40 minutes with a very short interval. The BBFC rating is 12A with infrequent strong language.

Please note, this show is available from 7pm on Thu 25 Jun until 7pm on Thu 2 Jul 2020.

Celebrating Ella Fitzgerald, the First Lady of Jazz. FREE online

The Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra celebrates the centennial of Ella Fitzgerald, a vocalist whose legacy and influence define a classic era of jazz singing.

Through diverse repertoire arranged by the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra, the band and guest vocalists demonstrate why the "First Lady of Song" remains a case study in succinct phrasing and uncompromising musicality.

Joining the Orchestra for this special occasion are two celebrated veteran vocalists, Kenny Washington and Roberta Gambarini, as well as the legendary tenor saxophonist Joe Lovano. Washington – Ravi Coltrane's favorite vocalist – carries on Ella's legacy by finding the maximum impact in each and every song, utilizing his enormous range and improvisational skills with restraint and impeccable taste. Gambarini – a similarly tasteful yet boldly original artist – was described by NEA Jazz Master Hank Jones as "the best new jazz singer to come along in 50 years."

Witness how Fitzgerald's most identifiable traits and her complete devotion to originality and authenticity inspire the best musicians of our time.

Recorded at the Rose Theater Apr. 27, 2017.

Please note, this concert is available on demand now. We will update this information if an end date should be announced.
