A place where the extraordinary seems commonplace - where weird, wonderful, and seemingly impossible feats of human skill are the norm. Mae’r syrcas yn bodoli mewn byd cyfochrog – lle mae’r anhygoel yn gyffredin, y rhyfedd yn rhyfeddol, a champau dynol amhosibl yn rhan o fywyd bob dydd. Join acrobatic performers as they enter this other realm. Moving from dollhouse streets to life-size rooftops, they populate a world filled with their own dreams, hopes and memories. A world in which everyone strives to be extraordinary. Ymunwch â’r acrobatiaid wrth iddynt ymweld â’r byd arall hwn. Gan symud o strydoedd miniatur i doeon maint llawn, maen nhw’n rhan o fyd llawn breuddwydion, gobaith ac atgofion; byd lle mae pawb yn ymdrechu i fod yn hynod. In this breathtaking new Welsh tour, NoFit State abandons the Big Top and takes to the stage with National Theatre Wales. Combining circus and theatre in spectacular ways, Mundo Paralelo weaves together stories that unfold amongst swooping aerial moves and gravity defying skills. Fel rhan o’r daith syfrdanol newydd hon, mae NoFit yn cefnu ar y syrcas traddodiadol ac yn cymryd i’r llwyfan gyda Theatr Genedlaethol Cymru. Gan gyfuno’r syrcas a’r theatr mewn ffyrdd rhyfeddol, mae Mundo Paralelo yn gwau straeon sy’n cynnwys campau awyr anhygoel a sgiliau anghredadwy. Under the direction of Mladen Materic and a worldclass cast, NoFit State continues to reinvent circus. Wedi’i gyfarwyddo gan Mladen Materic ac yn cynnwys cast o’r radd flaenaf, mae NoFit yn parhau i ailddyfeisio’r syrcas.

It promises to be an amazing evening for all music lovers with Risca Male Choir, Blaenavon Town Band, local vocalist and Pianist, Richard Harris, together with local band Duality. Eccentric and self-deprecating rock veteran Otway dubbed himself rock’n’roll’s greatest failure after many unsuccessful attempts to produce a second hit single to follow his 1977 classic (Cor Baby, That’s Really Free with Wild Willy Barrett). However, a mere quarter century later, he was back in the charts and on Top of The Pops with the wonderful disco pastiche, Bunsen Burner and much to the joy of his adoring and patient fans! All of the acts enjoy a history of magnificent performances at many prestigious events. All funds raised will support the Foundation’s work in the community. Every day, St David’s are caring for around 1,000 patients with life threatening illnesses, providing vital at home care and supporting their families through difficult times.

SCO are known for their sparkling performances of comic opera and their Così will be no exception. Craig Campbell, star of BBC One’s Michael Mcintyre’s Comedy Roadshow, is one of the most charismatic and inventive performers on the circuit. His unique ability to find humour in the mundane, coupled with his own natural eccentricity makes for truly inventive storytelling. Now an internationally acclaimed act, Craig’s whimsical travel anecdotes never fail to surprise. “Comic opera was superb! A cast of superb vocalists… If all operas were as well delivered as this one was, I’d invest in a pair of opera glasses today!” Swansea Evening Post Supposedly based on a true story, this comic tale of deception, doubt, devotion and the twists and turns of romantic love, sees how a cynical old man (Don Alfonso) leads two naïve officers into a scandalous wager, in order to prove that it is against a woman’s nature to be faithful – ‘Così fan tutte’ – ‘all women are alike’. As the story unfolds we see just how well he succeeds; at first the women are not willing, but later… well you must wait and see! 20 Beautifully staged in English with elegant classical 19th century costumes, and performed by some of the finest singers and orchestral players in the country, Così fan tutte contains some of Mozart’s most ravishing music and makes for an enchanting and hilarious evening’s entertainment - a feast for the eyes and ears. “An absolute delight! What a treat to hear well trained voices effortlessly filling the Queen’s Theatre, even when singing pianissimo…The result was a theatre filled with laughter… Could Rossini have asked for more?” South Devon Journal www.swanseacityopera.com Prices: £17, £15, £10, Reductions: £15, £12, £8, Restricted view: £14, £12, £7.50 Venue: Theatre Tickets Tocynnau 01633 656757 www.newport.gov.uk/theriverfront Craig first appeared alongside Tony Law and Dan Antopolski as part of comedy trio The Dinks. Their debut Edinburgh show in 2003 was both a critical and box office success, leading to an invitation to perform in the Best Of Edinburgh programme in New York. Following another successful Edinburgh visit with The Dinks, Craig took his first solo show to the fringe festival. The show sold out for the entire second half of its run and Craig was described, by the Edinburgh Evening News, as “bringing a tale to life like a young Billy Connelly”. Since then, Craig has supported Rich Hall on his international tour, and had two further successful solo shows in Edinburgh. Once the notorious host of Canada’s legendary Ed’s Night Party, and headline guest on numerous Canadian TV shows such as, Jim Carrey Live, The Dennis Miller Show and Just for Laughs, Craig has also appeared as presenter of Sky One’s hit series From Wimps to Warriors, recorded Comedy Cuts (ITV2), Mitch Benn’s Musical Comedy Show (BBC Radio 4), Out To Lunch (BBC Radio 2), Comedy Shuffle (BBC Three), Comedy Blue and Edinburgh and Beyond, both for the Paramount Comedy Channel. Most recently Craig has appeared on Russell Howard’s Good News (BBC Three) and in another series of Comedy Store for Comedy Central. Craig can currently be seen all over the UK bringing strong support to Frankie Boyle on his record breaking tour.

Based on a short story by Edgar Allen Poe, Jean Epstein’s 1928 film is considered by many to be one of the most entrancing, atmospheric and imaginative movies of the period. The live music, played by the 48 strong NYWOW, brilliantly compliments the brooding gothic lyricism of the images. Inspired by sketches for an unfinished opera of the same title by French composer, Claude Debussy, Charlie Barber’s spellbinding score is certain to captivate audiences. The critically acclaimed National Youth Wind Orchestra of Wales is made up of the country’s leading young wind, brass and percussion musicians. Specialising in the performance of new music, the NYWOW has given major premieres both at home and abroad. Presented by Run Ragged and Theatr Iolo. Directed by Jem Treays. Edward works in a storage warehouse. He loves order. Everything is wonderfully predictable. One day the strangest thing happens and one surprise leads to another; turning his life on its head… Out of the Box is an intriguing, funny and moving danced story that contains toe tapping music, dance, improvisation, clowning, mnemonics and Lindy Hop!

The project has been created by Ffresh – the Student Moving Image Festival of Wales, the Newport Film School and The Riverfront to celebrate the festival being hosted in Newport for the first time in its 10 year history. A number of well known Newport residents – including the Leader of the City Council Matthew Evans, and authors Matt Beynon Rees and Paul Manship – have contributed stories, which are hosted on the project’s website newportstories.tumblr.com. Several of the stories have also been adapted by students from the Film School into short films, which will premiere on the opening night of the film festival on February 8 at The Riverfront. Here’s your chance to see some of the best stories and images submitted to the project, which show Newport in all its uncensored glory.

Mar 31 – Apr 28 Gallery ‘Bill Chambers’ Bill Chambers is fascinated by that nether world of the pedestrian cityscape and those places that are often forgotten, over looked or simply ignored by people rushing by in their cars. These are places with little or no character or human stamp. They exist for purely functional reasons and many view these spaces as grim places to be avoided or hurried through. If they feature in people’s imaginations at Bill Chambers His latest work is based on the varied architecture of Newport. ‘Jon Pountney’ Jon Pountney has been a professional photographer for over 10 years and is based in Cardiff. In that time, he’s spent his fair share of time in Newport. From capturing gigs and Roller Derby bouts at the Newport Centre, through to taking panto press shots here at The Riverfront and snapping Newport’s one and only GLC. A fun retrospective of his work here in Newport, along with some new shots captured especially for this exhibition. Apr 2 – Apr 27 The Riverfront ‘SuperDragons II’ The dragons are coming! Last Summer SuperDragons took over the City and were such a great success, a new SuperDragons II project is about to begin. The chosen designs will be at The Riverfront to view from 2 Apr. Each dragon will be painted, decorated and adorned by local artists and community groups to create Wales’ largest mass public appeal art event.
