The Mall at Cribbs Causeway, makes the Christmas season extra festive for visitors with its spectacular Winter Wonderland.

Featuring a large outdoor ice rink, a Santa’s Castle where children can meet Father Christmas and a traditional Christmas Market, The Mall’s Winter Wonderland will open on Thursday 13th November.

The ice rink will be open every day (except Christmas Day and New Year’s Day) until Sunday 4th January 2009. This year, the rink will be doubled in size allowing more visitors to enjoy the invigorating experience of skating outside. Special group rates apply for parties of 10 or more people. Skate hire/changing facilities are included in the ticket price.

Families with young children will love Santa’s Castle, a spectacular fairytale creation alongside the ice rink. Father Christmas will be in residence from Thursday 13th November until Christmas Eve, greeting families and receiving Christmas wish lists.

New to the Winter Wonderland this year is a traditional Christmas Market with a variety of stalls offering excellent gift ideas and stocking fillers. And for the first time, you can also buy your fresh Christmas tree, holly and mistletoe at The Mall. Simply select your tree and while you bring your car round to the collection point, it will be bagged and ready for you to take home.

Children under 8 must be accompanied on the ice by an adult with a maximum of 2 children per adult. Children aged 8 to 12 must be supervised by an adult although the adult does not have to be on the ice.

An acclaimed production of Puccini’s masterpiece.

Music by Giacomo Puccini
Libretto by Giuseppe Giacosa & Luigi Illica
Conducted by Jonathan Lyness
Directed/designed by Richard Studer
English translation by Amanda Holden

Following on from their sensational production of Puccini’s La Boheme in 2005, the Opera Project is back with their production of Tosca, Puccini’s intensely dramatic masterpiece. Set in 1800, the opera depicts the final hours of three of the most highly charged characters in all opera – Baron Scarpia (the ruthless and corrupt chief of the Roman police) the painter Mario Cavaradossi, and his lover, the celebrated singer Floria Tosca. In Tosca we have it all – love, jealousy, lust, and despair impregnate the story, from the opening escape of the political prisoner Cesare Angelotti
to Scarpia’s final posthumous act of betrayal.

Theatrically gripping from start to finish, the score is perhaps Puccini’s most lavish, containing two of his most famous arias – Tosca’s ‘Vissi d’arte’ and the brilliant tenor aria ‘E lucevan le stelle’.
