What better way to spend a dreary Saturday afternoon in January than by listening to the romantic sounds of Johann Strauss. Now in its 9th year, a Viennese Strauss Gala is back here again in Thurles on tour on the stage of The Source Arts Centre, by popular demand.
This time they will arrive with a sparkling new production, authentically costumed, cleverly staged and wonderfully choreographed.
This truly breathtaking show is a magical mixture of music, song and dance and re-creates the nostalgia and romance of the grand ballrooms of 19th century Vienna. With little imagination required, you the audience will be introduced to a by-gone age of glamorous Soirees ( parties or gathering held in the evening, in someone’s home,) and the show will also highlight some of the great operettas of Emmerich Kalman, Johann Strauss and Franz Lehar, including de Fledermaus, The Merry Widow and many, many more.
The European Orchestral Ensemble will accompany four Soloists from major Opera companies including Opera North, English National Opera and D’Oyly Carte. It doesn’t get any better than this, for a truly authentic feel of a Viennese Gala this show will appeal to the romantic as much as the music aficionado.
Fine and elegant costumes simply add to the pleasure, bring home wonderful memories after an afternoon with Strauss. For lunchtime specials or afternoon tea reservations, ring Matt or Sheena at Tel: 0504-58858.
Date: Saturday 26th January, Time: 1.30pm Tickets: €20/€15 concession. Note: For all show bookings go to www.thesourceartscentre.ie or ring their Box Office at Tel: 0504 90204.
Highly entertaining for lovers of true romance and a ‘must see,’ for students of music in all schools.
Ireland’s best-loved actor comedian Pat Shortt is back in the Source Theatre, Thurles, December 7th next, with his new one-man comedy show, which charts the life of one of his many character ‘Dixie Walsh,’ (Of ‘ Jumbo Breakfast Roll,’ & ‘Where Did My Money Go,’ fame) latter a solo lounge bar musician.
The show takes on the guise of a tribute night to Dixie, where all his peers and friends, (In this case you the audience,) come to celebrate his successful career.
Until now the much loved Dixie Walsh was one of many characters who appeared in Pat’s previous sell out shows. Pat’s well known quirky interpretation of rural Tipperary & other Irish characters will bring to life Dixie’s mother, his teacher and other locals, who queue up to recall their daft & dippy memories of Dixie and his music. Now Dixie comes centre stage to tell his full life story and shares his inimitable style of music with you in Pat’s new show “I Am The Band,” taking a look at life on the back roads between Ireland’s dance halls and a tribute to one of this country’s supposedly true music legends.
NOTE: Not surprisingly, due to high ticket demand, a second date, in the Source Theatre has now been added and tickets can also be obtained for Saturday December 8th.
