 Based on the Academy Award® nominated film, Billy Elliot the

Musical has won the hearts of millions since it opened in London’s

West End in 2005. Set in a northern mining town, against the

background of the 1984/85 miners’ strike, Billy’s journey takes him

out of the boxing ring and into a ballet class where he discovers

a passion for dance that inspires his family and whole community

and changes his life forever. The original creative team behind

the film, including writer Lee Hall (book & lyrics), director Stephen

Daldry, and choreographer, Peter Darling, is joined by music

legend Elton John (music) to produce a funny, uplifting and

spectacular theatrical experience that will stay with you forever.

The Impressionists are the most popular group in art history - millions flock every year to marvel at their masterpieces. But, to begin with, they were scorned, penniless outsiders. 1874 was the year that changed everything; the first Impressionists, “hungry for independence”, broke the mould by holding their own exhibition outside official channels. Impressionism was born and the art world was changed forever.

What led to that first groundbreaking show 150 years ago? Who were the maverick personalities that wielded their brushes in such a radical and provocative way? The spectacular Musée d’Orsay exhibition brings fresh eyes to this extraordinary tale of passion and rebellion.
