Welsh National Opera - Blaze of Glory

Get ready for a toe-tapping, heart-warming adventure in Blaze of Glory! - an uplifting tale set in a 1950s Welsh Valleys community.

After a devastating mining disaster a small group of Welsh miners decide to reform their Male Voice Choir to lift spirits and raise the roof! Led by their heroic Chorus Master and supported by the strong-willed women who stand by them, the men embark on a musical escapade which finds them kidnapping a yodeller, taking part in the historic trans-Atlantic link-up with Paul Robeson and blazing a trail to the Eisteddfodau and beyond.

Blaze of Glory! Is a jubilant celebration of the Land of Song and a tribute to how community spirit can triumph over adversity. Traditional Welsh harmonies blend with the a cappella sounds of the 1950s, operetta, gospel and big band as our intrepid band of gleemen Lindy Hop their way to glory. Join our men in blazers, for a feel-good performance which will make your heart sing.

Sung in English with surtitles in English and Welsh.
