Gatsby & The Jazz Age
Always double check opening hours with the venue before making a special visit.
The Hallé turns back the clock to the roaring twenties with Gatsby and the Jazz Age on 30 December.
Conductor Guy Barker steers a starry line-up featuring the full orchestra, singers Vanessa Haynes, Joe Stilgoe and Strictly Come Dancing’s Tommy Blaize, along with the silky sounds of Giacomo Smith’s jazz clarinet and sax. Expect timeless elegance and swinging melodies, including classics like ‘High Society’, ‘Stormy Weather’, ‘Top Hat’, ‘Puttin’ On the Ritz’, ‘Cabaret’ and ‘The Joint is Jumpin’’.
Usually this quiet stretch between Christmas and New Year is all pyjamas and re-runs, but this is your chance to shake up the formula, dress to the nines, and keep the Christmas party going.
