Private Lives
After a tempestuous marriage, Amanda and Elyot got divorced. Just a few years later, however, each goes to the altar again – Amanda with Victor, and Elyot with Sibyl. Honeymooning at the same seaside hotel, a shared balcony is the fuse that detonates this sizzling comedy when the newlyweds discover they have rooms next to each other. Noel Coward’s masterpiece about the lunacy of love radiates with diamond-bright wit and style to burn. Ted Pappas directs.

The Pitmen Painters
2009 Best Play - London Evening Standard. In 1934, a group of Ashington miners and a dental mechanic hired a professor from Newcastle University to teach an evening Art Appreciation class. Unable to understand each other at first, they embarked on one of the most unusual experiments in British art as the pitmen learned to become painters. Within a few years the most avant-garde artists became their friends, their work was taken for prestigious collections, and they were celebrated throughout the British art world; but every day they worked, as before, down the mine. Andrew Paul directs Lee Hall's play.

Honeck, Mozart & Mahler
Manfred Honeck's Mahler journey continues with the Symphony #7, one of the highlights of the season. This grand work, composed at a tumultuous time in the composer's life, is sad yet triumphant and features two “night music” movements. Though a demanding piece both technically and musically, this monumental symphony is extremely gratifying for the musicians and audience alike. The concert begins with an appetizer of "A Little Night Music" by Mozart.
