THE Memo Arts Centre, Barry will host Bombastic: The Magic Doors from Monday, April 18 to Wednesday, April 20.

For the ninth year running, Bombastic are teaming up with the Memo Arts Centre to bring their special brand of dance theatre to hundreds of young people in the country.

Imagination is the key that opens these doors to reveal magical worlds and amazing creatures. Dance and animation combine for a memorable performance especially created for four to seven year olds.

Performances are supported by stimulation skills based educational workshops and online games and teacher resources to help make the most of this project right across the curriculum.

Tickets cost £120 per class/combined class up to 30 children.

Then on Monday, April 25, they will show Royal Opera Live: Lucia di Lammermoor on 7.15pm.

This live broadcast will be shown via satellite from the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden.

Lucia di Lammermoor tells the story of an ongoing feud between two families in 17th century Scotland that has terrible consequences for two young lovers.

It contains what is undoubtedly one of opera’s most poignant and gripping mad scenes, and is regarded as one of Donizetti’s finest works. The opera has not been seen at the Royal Opera House in more than a decade, so this new production by Katie Mitchell will be a particularly important and exciting event.

The title role will be sung by Diana Damrau, an expert in the coloratura repertory, while American tenor Charles Castronovo takes on that of her secret lover, the reckless and passionate Edgardo.

Tickets cost £15 in full and £12.50 for a concession.
