October press nights at The Lowry
Press Night Events in October 2008
There is phenomenal ballet at The Lowry this October all the way from Australia when The Australian Ballet collaborate with the BBC Philharmonic Orchestra for a memorable production of Swan Lake. The Lowry’s own un-missable Nu-Burlesque weekend includes four captivating productions, beginning with 1927’s award-winning show Between the Devil and The Deep Blue Sea.
Please Note
• Fireflies
Our planned production of Fireflies in the Quays Theatre later this year has now been postponed until Autumn 2009.
• Sunday Jazz Our monthly Sunday jazz sessions in the Circle Bar have been suspended. More news in the New Year as to when they may resume.
