2026-03-08 14:00 - 18:00 | Pamoja Hall, The Space Sevenoaks School, Sevenoaks, Kent, TN13 1HU, United Kingdom
The peasant girl Giselle has fallen in love with Albrecht. When she discovers that he is actually a nobleman promised to another, she kills herself in despair. Her spirit joins the Wilis: the vengeful ghosts of women hell-bent on killing any man who crosses their path in a dance to the death. Wracked with guilt, Albrecht visits Giselle’s grave, where he must face the Wilis – and Giselle’s ghost.
Peter Wright’s 1985 production of this quintessential Romantic ballet is a classic of The Royal Ballet repertory. Set to Adolphe Adam’s evocative score and with atmospheric designs by John Macfarlane, Giselle conjures up the earthly and otherworldly realms in a tale of love, betrayal and redemption.

From Winston Churchill to Margaret Thatcher and David Cameron, the Queen advised her prime ministers on matters both public and personal. Through these private audiences, we see glimpses of the woman behind the crown and witness the moments that shaped a monarch.

The Government Inspector
2026-02-09 19:00 - 21:00 | Sackville Theatre, The Space, Sevenoaks School, High Street, Sevenoaks, Kent, TN13 1HU, United Kingdom
Nikolai Gogol crafts a biting satire of bureaucratic corruption and human folly. When a small town mistakes a lowly civil servant for a powerful inspector, chaos and comic deception ensue, exposing the vanity and vice of officials desperate to cover their tracks. It’s a timeless farce that skewers hypocrisy with wit and absurdity.

Fugue Fest
2026-02-06 19:00 - 21:00 | Pamoja Hall, The Space Sevenoaks School, Sevenoaks, Kent, TN13 1HU, United Kingdom
This concert is a celebration of one of music history’s most intricate and challenging compositional forms in all its guises, from solemn mastery to playful parody. The programme traces the evolution of the fugue from the prototypes in the hands of Frescobaldi to the crowning achievements in the hands of J. S. Bach, before proceeding to Clara Schumann’s and Shostakovich’s attempts at homage to this venerable genre.
In the second half, Fugue Fest loosens its collar and laughs at itself, as the fugue’s academic rigour is turned on its head by musical humourists Erik Satie and Peter Schickele (aka P. D. Q. Bach). Their witty takes expose the absurdities and joys lurking beneath contrapuntal perfection.
The evening culminates in Ernst Toch’s Geographical Fugue for spoken chorus, which will unite the performers in a joyous, collective tribute to the fugue’s astonishing endurance and versatility.

As intimate as it is sumptuous, La Traviata features some of opera’s most famous melodies, and is a star vehicle for its leading soprano role sung by Ermonela Jaho.
