Sparks

Since storming into the UK charts, minds and airwaves in 1974 with ‘This Town Ain’t Big Enough For Both of Us’, Sparks – brothers Ron and Russell Mael – have been at the cutting edge of pop, creating new musical genres and inspiring generations of musicians.

The influence of “your favourite band’s favourite band” – stars of Edgar Wright’s film The Sparks Brothers and creators of the award-winning movie musical Annette – has been recognised by successive generations of artists from Joy Division and Squeeze to Depeche Mode, Bjork and Beck, to The Last Dinner Party and beyond. Their impact on music cannot be overstated – as super-producer Jack Antonoff declared “all pop music is re-arranged Sparks”.

28th June        

BBC Philharmonic Orchestra

BBC Philharmonic Orchestra return to Blackpool for the first time in 8 years with an ambitious programme in Blackpool’s historic Opera House.

In Oliver Leith’s music, pleasure and pain overlap, so both feelings are palpable in every gesture. Pearly, goldy, woody, bloody, or Abundance for orchestra begins with the best of intentions: “classical, thick, like marble moulding, beautiful, regal.” But formalities quickly get out of hand; everything at Leith’s party droops, fuzzes and deflates.

The psychedelic, blissful minimalism of Terry Riley’s In C flirts with darkness before being dragged back into the light. As a lover of John Coltrane and Miles Davis, a believer in the power of collective music-making, and a seeker of transcendence, In C distilled Riley’s thinking into something pure and strong, and became minimal music’s first mainstream hit.

30th June – 4^th July

Miss Saigon    

Michael Harrison in association with Cameron Mackintosh presents the spectacular new production of MISS SAIGON as Boublil and Schönberg’s legendary musical is reborn. The soaring score features hit songs including; “The Heat is On”, “The Movie in My Mind”, “Last Night of the World” and “The American Dream”.

Prior to the West End, this epic production arrives at Blackpool Opera House this June as part of a major UK and Ireland Tour.

In the last days of the Vietnam War, 17 year-old Kim is forced to work in a Saigon bar run by a notorious character known as The Engineer. There she meets and falls in love with an American GI named Chris but they are torn apart by the fall of Saigon. For 3 years Kim goes on an epic journey of survival to find her way back to Chris, who has no idea he’s fathered a son.
