FILM : THE IMPOSTER

Sunday 17th Febuary - Garter Lane Waterford

The Imposter (15)

'It would not involve hyperbole to suggest that The Imposter is the most astonishing film you will see this year. This is not to say it is the best or even the most original movie of the season (though it’s pretty darn good and pretty darn singular). No other film will, however, have you rubbing your eyes in disbelief quite so often.' Irish Times 

Dir: Bart Layton

Runtime: 95mins

FILM : ROMAN HOLIDAY

Sunday 17th Febuary - Garter Lane Waterford

Silver Screening includes complimentary tea & coffee

Roman Holiday (U)

Hepburn is the epitome of poise and elegance as royalty on a tour of Europe. While in the public eye she maintains an immaculate facade, but she is less happy personally. The toll of endless engagements and no time for herself is slowly driving her to despair. And while in the bustling city of Rome, she makes her escape for 24 hours of fun. 

Unfortunately for her she has been given an injection to sleep. Unable to stay awake she is rescued from a night spent sleeping on a wall by a begrudging Gregory Peck. It isn't until the light of morning that journalist Peck realises who this enchanting imposition is.

Dir. William Wyler USA 1953 

Language: English 

Starring: Gregory Peck, Audrey Hepburn, Eddie Albery 

Runtime: 118mins

THE IMPORTANCE OF BEING EARNEST BY OSCAR WILDE

Monday 11th February - Wednesday 13th February 2013 - Garter Lane Waterford

"To lose one parent, Mr Worthing, may be regarded as a misfortune; to lose both looks like carelessness."

Jack is in love with Gwendolen. Algernon is in love with Cecily. But when an identity crisis spirals out of control, the previously separate worlds of town and country collide and delicious mayhem ensues. Thoughts of marriage and a happy ending must be put on hold until the inimitable Lady Bracknell can be convinced that the young men are worthy suitors. 

"It is as if a grand Victorian dame has finally been allowed to unloosen her corset. London Classic Theatre's production has unshackled Oscar Wilde's comedy" The Stage

DAVID MCSAVAGE

Friday February 15th 2013 - Theatre Royal, Waterford

A regular guest on TV and radio shows in Ireland for many years, McSavage has also appeared at all the major comedy festivals including the Edinburgh Festival and internationally in Australia, Germany and Scandinavia. He is well known for his street shows in Dublin’s Temple Bar.

He devised Headwreckers for the Channel 4 TV show Comedy Lab in 2008.

And in 2009, he devised, wrote and starred in the six part TV series called The Savage Eye for RTÉ. The show which has been critically acclaimed was again recently nominated for an IFTA award for Best Entertainment Series and Best Director. The third series will be released by RTÉ 2 in March 2012.

….the most divisive comedian in the country Evening Herald

McSavage is a comedic force… a riotous evening and a thoroughly entertaining show entertainment.ie

One of Ireland’s funniest comedians The Irish Mirror

The comic equivalent of dynamite fishing (Official Edinburgh Fringe Magazine)

McSavage may overstep the line but that does’nt stop him making great comedy… Evening Herald

He makes me jealous sometimes because he kind of goes to areas that, in a sense, I am forbidden from going to. He (David McSavage) says an awful lot of things that I would love to say and can’t. He takes an awful lot of risks. Mario Rosenstock

MARIA DOYLE KENNEDY

Saturday February 16th 2013 - Theatre Royal, Waterford

Yet as a singer, Maria remains one of Ireland’s best kept secrets. Indeed the raven-haired Dubliner is probably more familiar as either Katherine of Aragon, nanny to the son of a serial killer or the estranged wife of the lovely Mr Bates from the three award-winning television series, The Tudors, Dexter and Downton Abbey.

That’s set to change with Sing, her fifth solo release proper. The 10-song collection was co-written with husband Kieran Kennedy, and features duets with Damien Rice, Paul Brady and, on the jawdroppingly beautiful ‘Yes We Will’, the legendary John Prine.

LUNCHTIME ARIAS

Friday 22nd February to Friday 26 April 2013 - Theatre Royal, Waterford

Providing performance opportunities for young Irish Singers

The popular and sell out Lunchtime Arias Series comes to Waterford for the first time in February 2013. For just €18 audiences can enjoy delicious soup and a sandwich and arias sung by Irish vocal students with guest artists .

The lunchtime concerts are hosted by Irish Soprano Sandra Oman and are part of the Lismore Music Festival’s commitment to supporting young Irish singers and providing them with a much needed platform for public performance. 

‘There is currently a void for performance opportunities for young Irish singers with the closure of Opera Ireland.  The Lismore Music Festival aims to bring the best of Irish and International talent to its festival productions each year and plans to develop the lunchtime arias concept into a regular fixture at the Theatre Royal and elsewhere around the country with the support of RTÉ lyric fm’  Jennifer O’Connell,  LMF Founder/Director.

‘Young and aspiring professional singers desperately need every performance opportunity they can get.  Competitions assist them to a certain degree.  But more importantly, they require non-judgemental performance situations to hone their craft.  The greatest teaching in the world, within the confines of the classroom or studio, is ineffective if the student does not have the chance to apply his or her knowledge to real life working situations.  LMF Lunchtime Arias at the Theatre Royal provides just that.’ Sandra Oman, Soprano

Doors open at 12.30 for lunch, performances begin at 1.15.  Places are limited and sell fast. Tickets must be reserved in advance 051 874402 or online at www.lismoremusicfestival.com.  For further information visit our websitewww.theatreroyal.ie

The LMF Lunchtime Arias Series is supported by Waterford Institute of Technology (WIT),  DIT Conservatory of Music and Drama,  Royal Irish Academy of Music

CREATIVE SCHOOLS FOR NEW MUSIC WEEK

THURSDAY 7TH FEBRUARY - WIT CHAPEL COLLEGE STREET CAMPUS WATERFORD

This programme, kindly supported by Waterford City Council Arts Grants 2012, was designed to nurture and develop the creative skills of 1st and Transition Year music students. It was then expanded to include 2nd and 5th Year music students. Pupils of De la Salle, Our Lady of Mercy, Newtown and Presentation participated. Workshops between November 2012 and January 2013 were facilitated by composer Dr Eric Sweeney and poet Mark Roper. Composer and poet engaged students’ in the creative process demonstrating their approach to collaboration as illustrated by their involvement in Come the Sails: a new choral work for Waterford in 2011. Students were given their own project: to create poetry and music. At further workshops and with the help and encouragement of music teachers, poetry and music was created and songs developed. The project was documented by Waterford film-maker John Loftus. This performance will showcase the resulting work.
