Brighton Science Festival at various locations - February 1 to February 29, 2012
I belong to the group of people, who give everything that has something to do with science a wide berth! However at the Brighton Science Festival there are no boring or dull lectures but instead many exciting issues - being discussed and explained. This festival therefore can really be enjoyed by anybody and not just the science fans. Take a look online for the full line up. www.brightonscience.com
Soulful Singing at Brighton Dome - February 4, 2012
Anyone who is experiencing too much stress should try this vitalizing singing workshop. It's led by singing teacher Mahasuhka, who will enthusiastically sing with you and get your feet moving. There's no need for experience - you just have to enjoy singing. On February 11 and 18 you also get the chance to participate in a workshop so go on, let yourself be swept away by the magical power of song.
Ballet at Theatre Royal - February 8 to February 12, 2012
Theatre Royal is home to two of the most enchanting ballets ever created this month, so be ready to immerse yourself in the world of The Nutcracker and Swan Lake, set to a score by Tchaikovsky. The Nutcracker tells the story of little Clara and the Nutcracker Prince defeating the army of the mouse-king, in order to rescue the Kingdom of Sweets. The touching love story of Prince Siegfried and the beautiful Swan Queen Odette conquering the forces of evil, awaits you in Swan Lake. Both ballets are productions by Victor Smirnov-Golovanov, performed by the excellent Moscow City Ballet. The performances of Swan Lake are on February 8 and February 9. The Nutcracker can be enjoyed from February 10 to February 12.
Valentine's Ball at Brighton Dome - February 14, 2012
I think this romantic Valentine's Ball will make the heart of any girl flutter, so guys, if you're still looking for a unique date, pull yourself together and take your valentine to this special event. The dance floor will be waiting for you from 8pm and the 10-piece Berkeley Square Society Band will make you boogie all night. Can't dance? No problem. Brighton Dome is also offering a two-hour Ballroom Workshop the day before so there are no excuses for not going to this ball. Make this a night to remember!
London Philharmonic Orchestra at Brighton Dome - February 18, 2012
We are delighted to welcome the London Philharmonic Orchestra, one of the finest international orchestras, here in Brighton. Rachmaninoff's Piano Concerto No. 2 and Symphony No. 2 and also Kreisler's Liebesleid arranged by Rachmaninoff will be performed. The sombre Symphony No. 2 and Piano Concerto No.2, with its touching and rapturous tune are said to be the most popular pieces of the composer. Try to be there, when the warmth and beauty of Rachmaninoff's works fills the Brighton Dome at 7.30pm.
