Running late?

We can’t guarantee entry to the Utzon Room if you’re running late. If there’s a suitable break in the performance, you’ll be guided to the first available seats.

Inspired by an old folktale, The Soldier’s Tale combines rhythmic invention and knack for melody with a flair for the theatrical to make sense of all that Stravinsky experienced during World War One and the Russian Revolution. 

At times witty and sharp, at others moving and tender, Double Bass Richard Lynn leads and curates a rare performance of this characterful gem. 

Join us for a complimentary glass of Handpicked wine on arrival before the performance with this intimate one-hour chamber music concert.
