The Royal OperaSIEGFRIED
Raised by a scheming dwarf and unaware of his true family origins, a young man embarks on an epic journey. Soon, destiny brings him face-to-face with a shattered sword, a fearsome dragon and the cursed ring it guards, and a Valkyrie forced into enchanted slumber…
Moments of transcendent beauty and heroic triumph sparkle in the third chapter of Wagner’s Ring cycle, brought to life under Barrie Kosky’s inspired eye following his spectacular Das Rheingold (2023) and Die Walküre (2025). Andreas Schager, in his much-anticipated debut with The Royal Opera, stars as Siegfried’s titular hero, alongside Christopher Maltman’s towering Wanderer, Peter Hoare’s treacherous Mime and Elisabet Strid’s radiant Brünnhilde.
Antonio Pappano conducts, drawing out the unspoken tensions and ethereal mysticism of Wagner’s dynamic score.

NTLive: The Audience
2026-04-15 19:15 - 21:45
The Audience by Peter Morgandirected by Stephen Daldry

Returning to cinemas for the first time in over a decade, Helen Mirren plays Queen Elizabeth II in the Olivier and Tony Award® -winning hit production, directed by Stephen Daldry.

For 60 years, Queen Elizabeth II met with each of her 12 prime ministers in a private weekly meeting. This meeting is known as The Audience. From Winston Churchill to Margaret Thatcher and David Cameron, the Queen advised her prime ministers on matters both public and personal. Through these private audiences, we see glimpses of the woman behind the crown and witness the moments that shaped a monarch.

Peter Morgan’s Netflix phenomenon The Crown was based on this hit play that was captured live from London’s West End in 2013 and went on to become one of the most-watched NT Live productions.

Evening Film & Talk: Sinking of the Lisbon Maru
2026-05-27 19:15 - 21:30
‘The Sinking of the Lisbon Maru’ is a poignant documentary that sheds light on a forgotten chapter of World War II.
In October 1942, the Lisbon Maru, a Japanese transport ship secretly carrying over 1,800 British prisoners of war, was torpedoed off the coast of China by an American submarine unaware of its human cargo.
Through rare archival footage, survivor testimonies, and expert interviews, the documentary uncovers the harrowing journey of the prisoners as the ship began to sink, leaving them trapped below deck…
The film also highlights local Chinese fishermen who risked their lives to rescue as many prisoners as they could.
Before fleeing the sinking vessel, guards secured the hatches on the allied prisoners. "The intent was that the PoWs would go down with the ship," said Ken Salmon, from Hook, whose father was saved by Chinese fishermen.
This documentary is dedicated to all those who served, fought and saved lives in the Far East during WWII and beyond.The documentary film (2 hours) will be shown, then followed by a Q&A session with Ken Salmon, whose father was a survivor.

Live At The Victoria: W3G (We Three Girls)
2026-06-26 20:00 - 23:00
W3GTheir story from their website W3G
"An 8-piece soul and funk band that knows how to have a blast! We bring the fun with live performances of all floor-filler tunes, ensuring the audience has as much fun as we do. We don't take things too seriously, just seriously entertaining!" The band was formed from a one off to perform at BunkFest in 2021. We had a fantastic time and a great reception and decided that we all wanted to continue working together. Chris joined us at this point as our drummer and combined with Neil (guitar), Andrew (Bass), Dan (Keys), the lovely Anne (Sax) and Clare, Suzie and Trish (Vocals) and W3G was born.
Clare and Trish had sung together in a couple of different bands for years, so it was fortuitous for them to meet with such a talented group of musicians to share our love of soul, disco, funk and anything else that takes our fancy. The close three-part harmonies, melodic Saxophone and funky tightness of keys, guitar bass and drums offer a distinctive vibe to our music.
We play a mixture of soul classics, funk, disco and some great crowd-pleasing curve balls in our feel good and party vibe setlist.
Listen to some of their songs
It will be a great night of music at The Victoria Hall, starting at 8pm. Doors open 7.15pm.
