LIVE MUSIC LISTING

Visual Art

February 2 to 27
‘A Picture Tells a Thousand Words in Quiet Voice’
An exhibition by Jackie Morris. “Until a painting is looked at by
someone it lies sleeping, waiting to be seen. Each person brings to
that painting their own story, their own dreaming and by looking they
bring the painting to life. Each person, if touched in some way by
the picture, carries away something of it in their mind, taking it on
to a new dreaming, a new journey. So now the painting lives outside
the frame.” Garter Lane Arts Centre, 5 O’Connell St.

Cosi Fan Tutte
By Mozart, sung in English. A Theatre Royal & Co-Opera Production. It

away on military service, they re-appear as glamorous foreigners and
attempt to seduce each other’s girl. Things don’t work out as
planned. Beneath the surface humour of a comedy of manners, darker
