(Health\, wealth\, several houses and a new mistress?) \n\n\n\nHowever\, at the age of 71\, he composed the Petite Messe Solennelle\, one of the most intriguing works of the 19th century. \n\n\n\nNeither short nor solemn\, the title is either a joke or refers to the small forces he had in mind: 12 singers (including castrati)\, two pianos and a harmonium. Behind the shimmering tunefulness is music of great majesty\, rigour\, depth and hushed solemnity. \n\n\n\nToo long for a church service\, it was first performed in a Parisian salon. Quirkily\, it quotes a composer friend writing in the style of Palestrina in the opening Kyrie and has an extended piano solo as the Offertorium. \n\n\n\nAbove all\, Rossini’s mature genius for melody and musical architecture is dazzling throughout. \n\n\n\nWith four superb soloists\, a harmonium and the inclusion of a performance of Rossini’s ‘Première communion’ from ‘Péchés de vieillesse’ (‘Sins of Old Age’) by dazzling pianist Julian Littlewood\, you are guaranteed a wonderful and memorable spring evening. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTickets\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPlease see important booking information below. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBooking information\n\n\n\nTicket prices: \n\n\n\nFrom £20.00 \n\n\n\nA fee of £1.50 per transaction applies to bookings for this event across all channels – website\, phone and in-person bookings at the Box Office.

Beethoven’s virtuosic piano sonata no.3 is dedicated to his teacher Haydn. \n\n\n\nHummel\, a contemporary and friend of Beethoven’s\, also took lessons with Haydn. Schumann wrote his piece about the extravagant Mardi Gras celebrations that he witnessed in Vienna. \n\n\n\nRavel’s short Menuet – it is only a minute and a half – was a commission to mark the centenary of Haydn’s death. Maurice Ohana’s fourth Etude is a tribute to Ravel\, who wrote his left-handed concerto for a pianist injured in the First World War. \n\n\n\nAnd finally\, Ravel’s La Valse\, a composition that was interrupted and terrifyingly changed by the same devastating war.

For all of those empathetic superpowers\, she also needs someone to catch her when she falls. Firebrands inspire; it’s what attracts people to them. \n\n\n\nHowever\, part of those personalities’ makeup is that they do not wear a harness. They thrive on the freedom and space around them. But\, with that comes danger; you need an emotional crash mat\, and those save lives. It is something we all need at times throughout our lives. \n\n\n\n\n \n \n \n Beth Hart\n\n\n\nBeth says about the title track\, “This is a true story. I had a moment where I wasn’t in a positive mood\, and I was hanging out on the couch\, crying pretty hard\, and Scott said\, ‘Hey\, do you need a hug?’ I said\, ‘I’ve got nothing inside left to love\, and he said\, you still got me. \n\n\n\n“I said\, hang on a minute; I’ll be right back. I went downstairs and used those words and how he said it. You say something like that\, and someone you love says back\, but you’ve still got me. It’s true. If I’ve still got him\, I’ve still got everything.” \n\n\n\nYou can see this in the ‘You Still Got Me’ video\, poignantly featuring her beloved husband\, Scott. Along with the team around her\, provide that surface to fall on when she needs it. Her fans adore her\, and the feeling is replicated. You can see that night after night on tour\, the adulation she receives and that she also gives back\, which is why there is a bond like few other artists have. \n\n\n\nThat connection has been forged over the last 28 years of releasing music in which she unapologetically wears her heart on her sleeve – like a warrior. Which is precisely what she is. \n\n\n\nIt’s okay not to be okay. It’s okay to struggle sometimes\, and it takes enormous strength to open yourself up to help. Reaching out a hand to have someone hold on to it is strength. This is something that we can all learn. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTickets\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPlease see important booking information below. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBooking information\n\n\n\nTicket prices: \n\n\n\nFrom £66.50 \n\n\n\nTickets are subject to a transaction fee of £3.95 \n\n\n\nDates & times: \n\n\n\nThursday 04 June 2026 \n\n\n\nDoors open at 7.00pm \n\n\n\nShow start: TBC \n\n\n\nRunning time: \n\n\n\nThis show has an interval \n\n\n\nAge guidance: \n\n\n\n14+ \n\n\n\nUnder 16s to be accompanied by an adult. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout New Theatre Oxford\n\n\n\n\n \n \n \n \n\n\n\n\n\n \n \n \n \n\n\n\n\n \n \n \n \n\n\n\n\n \n \n \n \n\n\n\n\nThere has been a theatre on George Street for almost 170 years.
