this is the moment to ask her father for his daughter’s
hand. Discovering a scribbled address, he follows her
to Buckinghamshire where he finds Philip and Sheila
enjoying a peaceful Sunday morning breakfast in the

The spine-chilling West End hit.
Seen by seven million people so far, Susan Hill’s
acclaimed ghost story comes dramatically to life in
Stephen Mallatratt’s ingenious stage adaptation. This
gripping production is a brilliantly successful study in
atmosphere, illusion and controlled horror.
A lawyer obsessed with a curse that he believes has
been cast over him and his family by the spectre of a
woman in black, engages a sceptical young actor to
help him tell his terrifying story and exorcise the fear
that grips his soul. It all begins innocently enough, but
then, as they reach further into his darkest memories,
they find themselves caught up in a world of eerie
marshes and moaning winds.
“The most brilliantly effective spine-chiller you will
ever encounter.” DAILY TELEGRAPH
“The sexiest, most sensational musical.”

SAT 14 JAN
“Today I saw 16 swans. God, what
beauty!” Sibelius’s Fifth Symphony
begins with a radiant dawn – and ends
with a majestic hymn to that vision
of nature at its most glorious. It’s the
perfect counterpart to the glowing
melodies and gypsy dances of Brahms’s
sunlit Violin Concerto, played by the
brilliant Baiba Skride – and the overture
to Mozart’s great Roman drama gets
things off to a stirring start.
Everybody knows the first four notes
of Beethoven’s Fifth Symphony. But
if that’s all you know, you’re in for the
ride of your life. And because genius
loves company, conductor Domingo
Hindoyan has paired it with Wagner’s
storm-tossed musical seascape – you
can almost feel the spray! – and a real
Russian fairy tale: Prokofiev’s glittering
First Violin Concerto.
Schubert Overture, Rosamunde
Mozart Sinfonia Concertante For
Violin And Viola, K364
Elgar Symphony No. 1
When Elgar’s First Symphony was
premiered, the audience leapt to their
feet and cheered. Over a century later,
there’s still nothing in English music
that quite compares to this sweeping
emotional epic. First, though, enjoy
Schubert’s Viennese whirl of an overture
and Mozart’s magnificent double
concerto.
