18 ALFIE BOE AND KATHERINE JENKINS IN CAROUSEL Alfie Boe and Katherine Jenkins are to star for the first time together in the West End as Billy Bigelow and Julie Jordan in Rodgers and Hammerstein’s Carousel, the third production in the partnership between English National Opera and the GradeLinnit Company. Lonny Price will direct the strictly limited run of 41 performances at the London Coliseum, beginning on 7 April. ENO awardwinning 40-piece orchestra and chorus will accompany the cast in this semistaged production. Fifteen years after getting caught up in an armed robbery and taking his own life, the charming carousel barker Billy Bigelow gets a chance to return to earth and make amends. Discovering that his daughter Louise has grown into a lonely, troubled teenager, haunted by her father’s legacy, Billy vows to restore pride to his family. Platinum-selling recording artist, English tenor and actor Alfie Boe returns to the West End to play Billy Bigelow. He played Jean Valjean in the West End production of Les Miserable at the Queen's Theatre, a role he also played in the show’s 25th Anniversary Concert and on Broadway. After studying at the National Opera Studio and the Royal Opera House, he went on to release numerous highly-successful solo albums. Welsh lyric mezzo soprano, singer and songwriter Katherine Jenkins will make her West End Theatre debut as Julie Jordan. She won a scholarship to study at the Royal Academy of Music and has since gone on to record ten studio albums with Second Nature and Living a Dream receiving Classic Brit Awards Album of the Year. Her most recent album Home Sweet Home was her seventh studio album to reach number 1. She has performed for the Pope, Presidents and Royalty including The Queen’s 90th birthday celebrations earlier this year.

According to Tate, the ‘exhibition watercolour’ became an art form in itself in the early years of the nineteenth century. ‘Grand, close-framed in gold and conceived to rival oil, with sheer size at a premium, it was more than just a watercolour in an exhibition’, says Tate; ‘It was a spectacle – fashionable, showy and sometimes very expensive.’ An example on view at the RI exhibition is by the Royal Institute’s newly elected, first female President, Rosa Sepple. In Sepple’s The Harbour, a watercolour collage with ink and gouache, the ‘exhibition watercolour’ appears fully formed in its twenty-first century guise – super-sized, showy, and sensational, even more excitingly and experimentally so than its Victorian forebears. There will also be a special display of smaller works by members of the Institute, offering exquisite watercolours at affordable prices.
