“The relationship with the players and Gerard Korsten is truly astonishing. Only Antonio Pappano has this kind of relationship with his players. Maestro and orchestra are one.” Seen and Heard International

Festive seasons past, present and future combine in this seasonal treat as Charles Dickens gives a dramatic re-telling of his classic tale: ‘A ChristmasCarol’. In this brand-new adaptation, actor Tama Matheson breathes fresh life into Dickens who takes to the stage to tell his moving morality tale of Scrooge, Marley, Tiny Tim and all those Christmas ghosts, accompanied by an atmospheric soundscape of Christmas carols performed by Trinity Chamber Choir and a string quartet from the London Mozart Players. By turns gloriously funny, sad, joyous and heart-rending, this evocative blend of carols and drama captures the wonder, pathos and sheer spookiness of this Christmasclassic. It’s the perfect way to get into the Christmas spirit!
