Description

A night when entertainment means life or death... and the forbidden pleasures of cabaret make passionate love to classical music. This is the story of a man’s search for truth, of his all-consuming love for a dangerous woman, and the ultimate sacrifice...

Death’s Cabaret is a ground-breaking new kind of concerto commissioned for world-class cellist and opera singer Matthew Sharp and the internationally renowned Sacconi Quartet and written by celebrated composer Stephen Deazley to a story and libretto by Bafta nominated writer Martin Riley.

A unique and thrilling marriage of the 19th-century concerto form with the grime and sensuality of cabaret - both an innovation and a re-invention of an ancient tradition. Dangerous, intimate, raw and virtuosic, it promises to be an unforgettable night... as our hero discovers.

Mistress Death comes to call. Your time upon this earth is up. When life is in the balance, what will save you? Love, music or waking from the nightmare? Let the performance of a lifetime begin!

“Extraordinarily impressive and effective... a spell-binding triumph.” (Evening Star)
