BAFTA-winning hit musical The Snowman is set to be shown at St Albans Cathedral – and local vocalists have a chance to join the performance and sing ‘Walking in the Air’.
The event, on Saturday December 2, will include performances at 3.15pm and 6.15pm, and is part of a brand new national tour featuring a screening of the family favourite accompanied by an elite live orchestra.
The performance of The Snowman will be accompanied by a selection of Britain’s top music talent featuring soloists Alby Farrar-Hockley, Sophia van Rooijen-Din, and Ethan Roberts (Walking in the Air), a magical whistle-stop Christmas guide to the orchestra, and a visit from the Snowman himself, aiming to create cherished memories for the whole family.
After each performance, audiences will be invited to meet the world-acclaimed musicians in their outstanding costumes, and learn all about their musical instruments.
Carrot Productions is also giving young vocalists local to the venues the life-changing opportunity to join the performance and sing Peter Auty’s timeless song ‘Walking in the Air’ from The Snowman soundtrack.
Show viewers will also join the adventures of everyone’s favourite cheese-loving inventor, Wallace, and his trustworthy companion, Gromit, in a screening of ‘The Wrong Trousers’ by multi–Academy Award-winning animation studio Aardman. The performance marks 30 years since the iconic animation was first screened.
Jo Kelly-Moore, Dean of St Albans Cathedral, said “St Albans Cathedral is delighted to be welcoming families to the Cathedral for these exciting screenings. This new event for us is a wonderful start to all that we offer over the Advent and Christmas season.”
Tickets for ‘The Snowman’ tour with live orchestra at St Albans Cathedral are available here.
