PFT New Winter Season

Pitlochry Festival Theatre has announced its fifth Autumn-Winter-Spring Programme of events to run from October 2007 to April 2008.

“Our Winter Seasons have grown in popularity with each passing year, with events like Perthshire Amber and Winter Words becoming firm fixtures in Scotland’s cultural calendar” said John Durnin, PFT’s Chief Executive and Artistic Director.

He continued: “This Season, we have an outstanding programme which we know will prove attractive not just to local audiences, but also to visitors from right across the UK. Whatever the season, Pitlochry always offers a combination of wonderful entertainment, stunning landscapes and Highland hospitality, so it’s the perfect destination for a night out or a short break with friends and family, or for groups looking for that special event.”

The season starts with an expanded Perthshire Amber Festival, featuring five headline concerts from Dougie MacLean over two weekends, and including appearances from The Tannahill Weavers and The Paperboys, the first live performance of The Search, and a host of daytime events from workshops and talks to open mic sessions.

New Events
A host of new events feature for the first time this Season: there’s Angelo Debarre, the king of Gypsy guitar; the unique jazz-soul sounds of Ola Onabule; Hatstand Opera, with Music From The Movies; the dazzling strings and bows of Blazin’ Fiddles ; and Codebreakers, the incredible story of the Enigma machine brought vividly to life.

In November, Moscow Ballet returns with Sleeping Beauty – sure to be one of the highlights of the season. Cantabile’s Christmas Concert will ensure the festive season is kicked off in style, whilst in February, the brilliant Katzenjammer return with a brand new show and Swansea City Opera visits once again with a glorious Magic Flute.

The lineup for Winter Words, the four day literature festival, features international literary stars from Lord David Owen, Stella Duffy, Anna Magnusson and Vicky Jac to Ian. R. Mitchell, Christopher Rush and Nicholas Crane.
