AN EVENING WITH ALFIE BOE
25 & 26 March
One of the world’s greatest classical singers, Alfie Boe, makes his return to the stage with a brand new tour, marking what is becoming another landmark year for the much-loved tenor. Considered one of the best vocalists of his generation, the multi-platinum selling artist always delivers sensational live shows and this one promises to be his best yet, celebrating the golden era of music from the 30s and 40s!
CULTURE >>
MUSEUM OF THE MOON
Until 6 May
Don’t miss Life Science Centre’s out-ofthis-world exhibition, Museum of the Moon - a fusion of lunar imagery, moonlight and surround sound composition, created by award-winning composer Dan Jones. The works displays the lunar surface in incredible detail on a seven-metre-wide sphere that’s suspended in the air. Massive, magnificent and mesmerising, it uses imagery captured by the NASA spacecraft Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter and, at an approximate scale of 1:500,000, each centimetre of the sphere represents five kilometres of the Moon’s surface.
