The Way the Winds Blow
For only two days Arts for Rutland will present this entirely
unique musical event on the shores of Rutland Water. "The Way the Winds Blow" is a world premiere of a specially commissioned piece telling the story of the inhabitants who lie above, below and around Rutland Water. Told through an ambitious mixture of music, dance and choreographed sailing, the production makes full use of its spectacular setting on the shores of Rutland Water. With a cast of more than 500, including a 300-strong choir, this piece is designed to move and inspire an audience whether or not they know the unique history of the area. Hannah Gordon, star of the screen and stage will be the narrator for this atmospheric event. Please remember "The Way the Winds Blow" is a ticketed event. For tickets visit our Tickets page.
