Join us on Saturday 24 March for a special gala in remembrance of Geraldine Connor. The gala will have extracts from Geraldine's best-known work Carnival Messiah - her large-scale reinvention of Handel's Messiah, originally presented at West Yorkshire Playhouse in 1999 - and feature specially devised performances by some of her favourite collaborators. Come to the theatre for a night to make you smile and make you cry, to make you clap your hands and stamp your feet, but most of all to celebrate the life of Geraldine Connor, a great teacher, composer, performer, director, musicologist and all-round inspiration to us all. There will never be another Geraldine, but this evening is to help keep her memory and her legacy alive.
