And featuring ‘Moments of Peace’  - a photographic project

The project aims to represent the lives of Ukrainian refugees in Stamford. It involves two images per family juxtaposing the harsh reality back home which never truly leaves them with moments of peace that they find here. This is a pilot display of an ongoing project by Alan Walters, a local photojournalist, in conjunction with Stamford Diversity Group. Feedback from the October display will influence the project going forward.

Don Giovanni: Glyndebourne Screening, Stamford Arts Centre

Don Giovanni: Glyndebourne Screening
don giovanni

Sun 13 July 2pm - Recorded

This Mozart’s “dark shaded comic opera” became a Glyndebourne classic. Don Giovanni was recorded live in 2010 and will be in screened in cinemas across the country.

The legend of Don Juan tells how, at the height of his licentious career, he seduced a girl of noble family and killed her father, who had tried to avenge her. Later, seeing a commemorative effigy on the father’s tomb, he flippantly invited it to dine with him, and the stone ghost duly arrived for dinner as a harbinger of Don Juan’s death. In the original Spanish tragedy, Don Juan’s attractive qualities—his vitality, his arrogant courage, and his sense of humour—heighten the dramatic value of the catastrophe. The power of the drama derives from its rapid pace, the impression it gives of cumulative tension as Don Juan’s enemies gradually hound him to destruction, and the awareness that the Don is goaded to defy even the ghostly forces of the unknown. In the end he refuses to repent and is eternally damned.

Sung in Italian with English supertitles.
