Alice\, a brilliant novelist\, despises the carefully constructed lies of modern society. But the more she challenges those around her\, the fiercer the backlash becomes. Soon\, she must confront the price of speaking her truth in a world that would rather silence her. \nFilmed live on stage at the National Theatre\, Indhu Rubasingham directs Martin Crimpā€™s (Cyrano de Bergerac) highly anticipated play. \nTickets: Adults Ā£18 Friends Ā£15 URL:https://www.discoverfrome.co.uk/event/nt-live-the-misanthrope/ LOCATION:Merlin Theatre\, Bath Road\, Frome\, BA11 2HG CATEGORIES:Arts,Film,Theatre ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.discoverfrome.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/xThe-Misanthrope.png.pagespeed.ic_.ImpyPwoAeF-e1782379195578.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Merlin Theatre":MAILTO:merlintheatremarketing@gmail.com GEO:51.2412644;-2.3118242 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=Merlin Theatre Bath Road Frome BA11 2HG;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=Bath Road:geo:-2.3118242,51.2412644 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20261101T140000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20261101T180000 DTSTAMP:20260528T154708Z CREATED:20260528T153424Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260528T154708Z UID:10022126-1793541600-1793556000@www.discoverfrome.co.uk SUMMARY:The Royal Ballet: Manon DESCRIPTION:*Screened Performance* \nIn the seedy underbelly of 18th-century Paris\, money is king. Nothing is sacred ā€“ even love itself can be bought for the right price. A native of this hedonistic underworld\, Manon is caught between twin desires when she falls in love with the student Des Grieux. Steadfast and devoted\, he offers the possibility of an honourable life. Yet\, the riches promised by the world of Parisian society remain temptingā€¦ \nManonā€™s inner turmoil and struggle for survival lie at the devastating heart of Kenneth MacMillanā€™s 1974 adaptation of AbbĆ© PrĆ©vostā€™s novel. In this signature work of The Royal Ballet\, MacMillanā€™s nuanced understanding of human psychology makes for an unflinching look into the moral degradation of Manonā€™s Paris\, while all its decadence and decay are brought to life through Jules Massenetā€™s score and Nicholas Georgiadisā€™s designs. \nRunning Time: 190 minutes\, two intervals\nTickets: Ā£18\nFriends of Merlin: Ā£15 URL:https://www.discoverfrome.co.uk/event/the-royal-ballet-manon/ LOCATION:Merlin Theatre\, Bath Road\, Frome\, BA11 2HG CATEGORIES:Arts,Dance,Film,Theatre ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.discoverfrome.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/xManon.jpg.pagespeed.ic_.-hKpgZs_jv.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Merlin Theatre":MAILTO:merlintheatremarketing@gmail.com GEO:51.2412644;-2.3118242 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=Merlin Theatre Bath Road Frome BA11 2HG;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=Bath Road:geo:-2.3118242,51.2412644 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20261110T190000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20261110T223000 DTSTAMP:20260528T154703Z CREATED:20260528T153531Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260528T154703Z UID:10022127-1794337200-1794349800@www.discoverfrome.co.uk SUMMARY:The Royal Opera: Carmen DESCRIPTION:*Screened Performance* \nUnder the oppressive heat of the Spanish sun\, the fiercely independent Carmen attracts the attention of Don JosĆ©. She warns him not to fall in love with her\, but his obsession knows no bounds. Damiano Michielettoā€™s searing production returns\, casting scorching light on the lust\, violence and destructive desire of Bizetā€™s ever-popular opera. \nAn all-star cast brings this white-hot drama to life\, with Ginger Costa-Jackson in the fiery title role\, alongside Russell Thomas as the jealous and despairing Don JosĆ©.

Learning the truth of her belovedā€™s innocence\, BrĆ¼nnhilde at last returns the ring to the Rhinemaidens\, before ordering that Valhalla be swallowed in flames. For the long-awaited finale of Wagnerā€™s epic saga\, director Barrie Kosky situates the rich apocalyptic drama in a contemporary world of dream-like turmoil. \nAntonio Pappano\, Conductor Laureate of The Royal Opera\, returns to take on the impassioned\, otherworldly music ā€“ including Siegfriedā€™s transporting Funeral March and BrĆ¼nnhildeā€™s electrifying Immolation Scene.

What follows is a slippery game of seduction and power\, the four lovers plunging into a dizzying world of shifting reality\, where truth becomes increasingly unstable. \nCosƬ fan tutte has lost none of its sting since it first scandalised audiences in 1790. In her Main Stage debut\, Netia Jones\, Associate Director of The Royal Opera\, reimagines Mozartā€™s comedy of manners through a sharp contemporary lens\, where 18th-century romantic trickery meets deeply satirical high-tech deceit. Taking on the roles of the lovers is an exciting young cast led by Louise Alder\, Simone McIntosh\, Mingjie Lei and Huw Montague Rendall\, with Gerald Finley as their manipulative game-master Don Alfonso and Emily Pogorelc as Despina. Thomas Hengelbrock conducts\, bringing out the exquisite melodies that underpin the provocative\, and resolutely modern\, themes at the heart of the opera.\nSung in Italian with English subtitles. \nRunning Time: 210 minutes\, one interval\nTickets: Ā£18\nFriends of Merlin: Ā£15 \nBOOK TICKETS URL:https://www.discoverfrome.co.uk/event/the-royal-opera-cosi-fan-tutte/ LOCATION:Merlin Theatre\, Bath Road\, Frome\, BA11 2HG CATEGORIES:Arts,Film,Opera,Theatre ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.discoverfrome.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/xCosi-fan-Tutte.jpg.pagespeed.ic_.q-V4tpdu2F.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Merlin Theatre":MAILTO:merlintheatremarketing@gmail.com GEO:51.2412644;-2.3118242 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=Merlin Theatre Bath Road Frome BA11 2HG;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=Bath Road:geo:-2.3118242,51.2412644 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20270323T191500 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20270323T223000 DTSTAMP:20260528T154345Z CREATED:20260528T154345Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260528T154345Z UID:10022130-1805829300-1805841000@www.discoverfrome.co.uk SUMMARY:The Royal Ballet: Aliceā€™s Adventures in Wonderland DESCRIPTION:*Screened Performance* \nAt a garden party on a sunny afternoon\, Alice is surprised to see her parentsā€™ friend Lewis Carroll transform into a white rabbit.

Sheā€™s swept off her feet by the charming Knave of Hearts\, whoā€™s on the run for stealing the tarts. Confusion piles upon confusion. Then Alice wakes with a start. Was it all a daydream? \nChristopher Wheeldonā€™s Aliceā€™s Adventures in Wonderland burst onto the stage in 2011 in an explosion of colour\, stage magic and inventive\, sophisticated choreography. Joby Talbotā€™s score combines contemporary soundworlds with sweeping melodies that gesture to ballet scores of the 19th century.

The flourishing of young love is just as present in Romeo and Julietā€™s meeting on the balcony as in their final moments when they desperately cling to life in the tomb. Prokofievā€™s evocative music sets the scene for stolen romantic moments and deadly feuds and sweeps the ballet towards its inevitable and tragic conclusion. \nRunning Time: 170 minutes\, two intervals\nTickets: Ā£18\nFriends of Merlin: Ā£15 \nBOOK TICKETS URL:https://www.discoverfrome.co.uk/event/the-royal-ballet-romeo-juliet/ LOCATION:Merlin Theatre\, Bath Road\, Frome\, BA11 2HG CATEGORIES:Arts,Dance,Film,Theatre ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.discoverfrome.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/xRomeo-Juliet.jpg.pagespeed.ic_.yo8JgA7WU4.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Merlin Theatre":MAILTO:merlintheatremarketing@gmail.com GEO:51.2412644;-2.3118242 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=Merlin Theatre Bath Road Frome BA11 2HG;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=Bath Road:geo:-2.3118242,51.2412644 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
