About

Embark on an exciting and thrilling journey as you step into the enchanting world of Harry Potter and explore the fascinating and stupendous sets and learn about the making of the film.

 

Sets

Great Hall – The spectacular Great Hall was first built for Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone in 2000 and since then has been used in 6 more films featuring as the backdrop in iconic scenes such as the Yule Ball and the Battle of Hogwarts. The Great Hall is home to some of the beautiful hand-crafted props created for the Harry Potter film series including Professor Dumbledore’s lectern and the House Points Counter and showcases the costumes of students from each Hogwarts house plus two large tables which are set for dinner; at the top of the room is the teachers' table where the Hogwarts Professors sat.

Forbidden Forest – The set was created at the the Studio for Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets in order to house Aragog’s lair and continued to grow throughout the film series. It is filled with 19 trees each with a diameter of over 12 feet.

Platform 9 ¾ - Climb aboard the iconic locomotive, the Hogwarts Express and see the infamous ‘cupboard under the stairs’. The train and the platform were recreated in the studio during the filming of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 2. Though most of the scenes that take place on Platform 9¾ were actually shot on location at King’s Cross Station, a special interior carriage set was used for all of the scenes that take place inside the train. Visual effects artists replaced the green screen background in the windows with moving backdrops and special effects like hopping Chocolate Frogs and flying Dementors.

Diagon Alley – A makeshift set, the original design of the street combined the rich details from the Harry Potter books with inspiration from the streets described in the works of Charles Dickens. Diagon Alley is home to Gringotts Bank, Flourish and Blotts and Mr Mulpepper’s Apothecary and the dusty Ollivanders wand shop, where Harry’s wand famously chose him.

 

Props

Potions Classroom –  Marvel at the vast array of over 950 potion jars that line the walls of the classroom, each with unique props kept inside them including baked animal bones from a local butcher shop, dried leaves, herbs and shrunken heads made by the props department.

Memory Cabinet – Stumble into Professor Dumbledore’s office wherein you will be amazed to find nearly 900 memory vials and labels. Some of the memories seen in the cabinet feature familiar character names such as Argus Filch and Professor McGonagall.

Professor Umbridge’s Office – Explore the only pink office in the Ministry of Magic, belonging to Professor Dolores Umbridge. Over 130 plates were created for the office which involved filmmakers having to photograph and film real kittens with crystal balls, witches’ hats and balls of wool.

Puking Pastilles – A funny and simultaneously disgusting is the 20- foot mannequin of the Puking Pastilles Dispenser at the main entrance.  Stocking everything from Extendable Ears to fireworks, Weasleys’ Wizard Wheezes was designed to look like an 18th century storefront.

 

Costumes

Quidditch – View the uniforms created for the wizarding sport of Quidditch which evolved throughout the film series, going from thick robes in the first two films to lighter, sportier robes with the players name and number on the back in the later films.

19 Years Later - The final scene of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 2 called for an older Harry, Ginny, Ron and Hermione to bring their children to King’s Cross station to send them off to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, nineteen years later. They are seen in a palette of pinks, oranges, blues and browns worn by them throughout the film series.

Yule Ball - The Yule Ball held to celebrate Christmas and the Triwizard Tournament presented an opportunity for the Costume Department to create a more formal style of wizard wear. It took three months to create Hermione’s iconic gown that was made of yards of pink silk and 12 metres of chiffon, layered to form a beautiful, romantic gown. A kind of ‘Wizard’s Tuxedo’ was created for the Hogwarts boys in a satin silk while the Durmstrang students had military dress uniforms. Ron Weasley was the only exception with robes made from an old carpet fabric and acres of lace.

Beauxbatons - Led by headmistress Madame Maxime, the students of Beauxbatons Academy of Magic visit Hogwarts as part of the Triwizard Tournament in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. The “French Blue” fabric of the Beauxbatons uniform was chosen to stand out from the muted blacks, browns and greys of the other school colours. The iconic pointed Beauxbatons hat was designed and produced by renowned milliner Philip Treacy. 

 

Creature effects

Buckbeak - Three life-size animatronic versions of Buckbeak the Hippogriff were created for the Harry Potter film series: one standing, another rearing and a third lying down. The designers of Buckbeak took inspiration from real birds, specifically the Golden Eagle for the creature’s profile. 

Goblin Heads - Goblins in the Harry Potter film series act as bank officials and tellers at Gringotts bank in Diagon Alley. Each goblin was given a particular personality perceptible in their distinctive ears, chins and noses to ensure they all looked different. To create the scene inside Gringotts Bank in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 2, 140 make-up artists from all over Europe were needed to turn 60 actors into goblins in just four hours. Goblin prosthetics could also not be reused after they were removed at the end of the day’s filming and so multiples of every goblin head were created for each day of the shooting schedule.

 

Aragog

Aragog had a leg span of over 18 feet and was even able to crawl out of a hole and deliver dialogue in Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets. Each of Aragog’s hairs was individually inserted by hand using a special needle using many different materials from brooms bristles and pieces of coconut to the centre of feathers. On set for Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, it would take over 15 people to operate the animatronic Aragog, four of which would be behind the scenes acting as puppeteers for the back four legs.

 

Art Department

Marvel at the spectacular models that were created for the movie franchise to bring the book alive with fantastic visuals. See the stunning Hogwarts Castle Model who’s every courtyard, tower and turret were filmed and enhanced with digital effects to create unforgettably realistic views of the magical school, from Potions textbooks to wizarding sweet packaging and issues of the Quibbler, the Art Department was responsible for designing and creating wide array of props that helped to bring the visual world of Harry Potter to life on screen, the beautiful White Card Models that helped the director and production designer look at size and scale and determine camera angles and the technical drawings that helped created every environment, prop and character of the Harry Potter film series. 588 sets across the Harry Potter film series. 

 

Special Effects

The movie series relied heavily on the special effects that brought the magic alive on screen. Witness the Chamber of Secret Door, the Invisibility Cloak, Whomping Pillow and the Green Screen. The Green Screen is used by filmmakers to shoot visual effects allowing them to replace the green colours with a completely different background or computer-generated set.

Indulge in a once in a lifetime opportunity to take part in the green screen experience and fly a broomstick over London just like the cast did during filming.

At the end of the mesmerizing tour, shop at the studio shop that offers a range of specially selected collectible items, replica wands, confectionery, apparel and much more to commemorate the fantastic trip to the unique world of Harry Potter.

Big Ben

When you think of London, you immediately think of Big Ben, the monument is that synonymous with the city’s culture. This iconic landmark is immensely popular with tourists and even the locals have a soft spot for it in their hearts. Big Ben (now rechristened Elizabeth Tower), stands tall at 96 metres and has the world’s second largest four-faced chiming clock.

Location:

Big Ben is in London, located near of the Palace of Westminster (not to be confused with the nearby Westminster Abbey).

Timings:

Big Ben is open to visitors all year around. The complete tour takes about 1-1.30 hours.

Month Time Days
 October to June  9:15 am to 4:30 pm  Daily
 July and August  9:15 am to 4:30 pm  Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday
 July and August  1:15 pm to 4:30 pm  Wednesday
 September  9:15 am to 4:30 pm  Monday and Friday
 September  1:15 pm to 4:30 pm  Wednesday, Tuesday, Thursday

Closed: Easter and Christmas

Highlights:

The Big Ben has fallen silent for the first time in its 157 years of almost continuous timekeeping. The iconic landmark is being restored and repaired, and will begin sounding its famous chimes until 2021. However, the structure still stands and while you might not be able to synchronise your watch to the sound, there is much that you can see and enjoy around the Big Ben.

The Houses of Parliament

Attached to the clock tower that houses Big Ben is the Houses of Parliament, and the best part is that visitors are welcome. If the House of Commons or House of Lords are in session, the public can go inside and sit in the public galleries.

Westminster Abbey

The Westminster Abbey is open for services on Sundays and the public can worship here free of charge. Step inside and see where British monarchs have been crowned for centuries. This is also where Will and Kate exchanged their heartfelt vows.

Westminster Bridge

The Westminster Bridge gives you incredible views when you walk along it. Stop and admire the Parliament, the Strand, Whitehall, South Bank, and the London Eye, while allowing the sounds and smells of London to wash over you.

Churchill War Rooms

If you enjoy a bit of history you will definitely get a kick out of visiting the underground bunker where Winston Churchill worked and occasionally lived during World War II. Do visit the Map Room which has been untouched since the day the lights were switched off in 1945.

Household Cavalry Museum 

Like horses? Take a quick trip to the original 18th century stables and watch the cavalry guards work on their horses (via a glazed partition). If you time your visit correctly, you can see the Changing of the Queen's Life Guard at 11 am, which takes place daily on Horse Guards Parade.

St Margaret's Church

This is a fine 16th century building with medieval and modern stained glass. It sits between Westminster Abbey and the Houses of Parliament.

Jewel Tower

Many tourists miss visiting this simple, three-storey structure. Sitting across the road from the imposing Houses of Parliament, this 14th century tower boasts of a stunning, untouched 14th century ribbed vault. We highly recommend making that short trip across the road from the main Westminster parliament buildings to this structure.

The Supreme Court

The Supreme Court is known to be the highest court in the United Kingdom. It is located in the former Middlesex Guildhall, a striking stone structure built by Scottish architect James S Gibson with decorative external sculptures by Henry Fehr.

Downing Street

Best known for the house at 10, Downing Street, this location is at the heart of Westminster and of course, British politics. Unfortunately, it is closed to members of the public. You can peer past the carefully guarded gated and armed police to try and get a glimpse of the Prime Minister.

Whitehall

As you walk further from Downing Street, you will enter Whitehall, a historic London street which runs from Parliament Square at Westminster to Trafalgar Square. This is, quite literally, the centre of the British Government as many departmental and ministerial buildings are located on either side.

Exclusions:

Entry inside Big Ben is only for citizens of the United Kingdom. With its current restoration work anyway there will be certain limitations on your sightseeing.

Price:

You can book yourself on a tour of Big Ben and the surrounding buildings. This way you can glean all the historical facts and get a deeper understanding of the monument.

The ticket price for the tour is:

£ 19.50: Adult (18 to 64 years old).

£ 11.70: Child (5 to 17 years old).

£ 17.60: Concession (senior citizen 65+ / student with valid id).

Recommended for:

Big Ben is a popular tourist destination in London which is visited by everyone who is on a tour of England. If you are interested in ticking-off iconic landmarks, Big Ben comes highly recommended. 

Interesting facts about Big Ben

  • Big Ben is believed to have been named after Sir Benjamin Hall. He was the First Commissioner for Works when the bell was being cast and tested.
  • The bell in the clock tower weighs 13.5 British tons (15.1 U.S. tons), which is about the weight of two large African Elephants. It is 2.2 meters (7 feet, 2 ½ inches) in height and has a diameter of 2.7 meters (8 feet, 10 inches).
  • Records show that the first clock tower on the site was built over 700 years ago. It had just one dial and one bell. This was destroyed in a fire on the night of 16 October, 1834.
  • The current tower, the construction of which was begun in 1834, was completed in 1859 and Big Ben’s first peals were heard over London on July 11 that same year. From then till now, Big Ben has rung every hour through the reigns of six British monarchs.
  • If you understand music, you will be interested to know that when struck, Big Ben chimes out the note ‘E’. The four smaller bells, which ring on the ‘quarter’ hours, strike ‘G sharp’, ‘F sharp’, ‘E’ and ‘B’.
  • To see the Big Ben, the biggest bell in the tower, you have to climb 334 stone steps. However, the tours to the Big Ben are currently available only for UK residents. The renovation taking place now is expected to make room for an elevator.
  • Did you know that if you were to stand at the bottom of the tower with a portable radio and listen to the chimes live, you will hear the peals first on the radio and then hear them from the tower. Why does that happen? Radio waves travel at 186,000 miles per second (the speed of light), just as the signal from the Big Ben microphone to the radio station. Sound itself travels at a poor 0.2 miles per second.

About

The spectacle is set against the majesty of the Serengti Plains, Africa and narrates a powerful tale of Simba and his journey from a cub to the rightful King of the Pridelands. The captivating heart warming story with multiple awards will redefine your vision of theatrical experience as it explodes with glorious colours, stunning effects and enchanting music by the legendary Elton John, lyrics by Tim Rice and a musical score created by Hans Zimmer.

Directed by Julie Taymor, the musical begins with Rafiki the mandrill gathering the animals to Pride Rock to introduce the baby cub, Simba belonging to King Mufasa and Queen Sarabi. Elsewhere, Mufasa's brother, Scar laments his lost chance at becoming King. As Simba grows into a lively young cub, Mufasa shows Simba the Pride Lands from the top of Pride Rock and explains that everything exists in a delicate balance known as the Circle of Life. Mufasa warns Simba not to stray beyond the boundaries of the Pride Lands, pointing out a shadowy area in the distance.

Simba goes to see his Uncle Scar who schemes and piques the cub's curiosity by mentioning the elephant graveyard, where Simba is forbidden to go. Simba decides to go the elephant graveyard with his best friend, Nala. As the cubs reach the graveyard and begin exploring, three hyenas surround them waiting to attack only to be frightened away by Mufasa.

Mufasa is disappointed and angry at Simba's reckless disobedience. Back at the elephant graveyard, Scar concocts a plan to kill Mufasa and Simba so that he can become king. He raises an army of hyenas and through deviousness and treachery manages to get Mustafa killed in a wildebeest stampede as he was trying to save Simba. Scar convinces Simba that his father's death was his fault and tells him to run away ordering the hyenas to kill him. Simba escapes but the hyenas tell Scar that he is dead. Everyone mourns the deaths. Out in the desert, Simba collapses and is rescued by Timon the meerkat and Pumbaa the warthog who take him under their wings in the jungle where he grows into adulthood.

Under Scar's rule, the Circle of Life is out of balance and a drought has hit the Pride Lands. Nala arrives to confront Scar about the famine and Scar decides she will be his queen and give him cubs. Nala fiercely rebukes him and resolves to leave the Pride Lands to find help.

In the jungle, Pumbaa is hunted and chased by a lioness, Nala. Simba confronts her to save his friend and recognizes the lioness as Nala. She is amazed to find Simba alive and tells him about the devastated Pride Lands, but Simba still feels responsible for Mufasa's death and refuses to return home.

Simba meets Rafiki who reawakens Simba’s courage and he heads for home along with Nala, Timon and Pumba, where he witnesses the ruin of his home. Simba reveals himself to Scar and forces a confession of murder from him. As they battle, Scar begs for his life, blaming the hyenas for everything. Simba lets him leave out of mercy, but Scar attacks again. Simba blocks the attack and Scar falls from the cliff. The hyenas, who heard Scar's betrayal tear him to shreds.

With the battle won, Simba's becomes the rightful king and ascends Pride Rock. The Pride Land recovers and the animals gather in celebration as Rafiki presents Simba and Nala's newborn cub, continuing the Circle of Life.

About

The spectacle is a love story based on an Arabian folklore and features a sweet Genie, a smart street urchin and a beautiful princess. The sweet tale of love and friendship endears to every person and makes for a delightful and entertaining watch.

The Genie introduces the audience to the world of Agrabah, a rich diverse city where lives a young boy named Aladdin who indulges in thievery along with his friends.  Meanwhile, in the palace of Agrabah, Princess Jasmine is scolded by her father, the Sultan, for refusing yet another suitor. The Sultan demands that Jasmine must marry a noble prince before her birthday, which is only three days away.  This news upsets Sultan’s Royal Vizier Jafar who wants to usurp the throne.  He searches for a way to enter the "Cave of Wonders", a mysterious cavern in the desert to seek the lamp that will give him power. The voice of the cave reveals that only one who is worthy, a "diamond in the rough", may enter. When Jafar asks the identity of this "diamond in the rough", it is revealed to be Aladdin. Jafar sets out to find him.

Aladdin bumps into Jasmine who is in disguise of a commoner and falls in love with her. He takes her to his hideout, where they each reveal their unhappiness in their own lives. Jasmine is discovered by the authorities and taken back to the palace while Aladdin is ordered to be killed. He is saved by Jafar and lead to the Cave of Wonders. Grateful for saving his life, Aladdin honors Jafar's request to enter the cave.

Once inside, Aladdin is instructed to bring the lamp to Jafar but he is marveled by the treasure trove he sees in the cave and attempts to take some gold coins as well. The cave gets angry and seals itself with Aladdin inside. Upset, he sits with the lamp and absently rubs it unleashing the genie who comes out and grants him three wishes. He initially disbelieves him but then amused by his good fortune, tricks the Genie into magically releasing them from the cave. Realising this, the Genie states that Aladdin will not receive any more magic help unless he explicitly states "I wish". Genie muses that he would wish for freedom, since he is a prisoner of his lamp and Aladdin promises to free him as his last wish. Aladdin decides to use his first wish to become a prince in order to legally court Jasmine.

Aladdin is introduced as "Prince Ali of Ababwa" and expresses to the Sultan his desire to marry Jasmine. Jasmine overhears the conversation and perceives Ali to be just another shallow prince only to recognize him as the young man whom she met in the marketplace. Aladdin courts Jasmine with a beautiful ride on his magic carpet provided to him by Genie. Cunningly, Jafar gets Aladdin arrested along with his friends and he uses his second wish from the Genie to free them.

The Sultan gives Aladdin his blessing to marry Jasmine worrying Aladdin that he will one day inherit the throne. He tells Genie he's going to save his third wish for a day he may need it rather than use it to free Genie like he promised. Distraught, Genie returns to his lamp which is stolen by Jafar.

As the Sultan announces to the public that Jasmine is to wed Prince Ali, Jafar reveals Aladdin’s real identity. Genie then enters with Jasmine in chains, stating that Jafar is now his master and that his first wish was to make Jasmine his prisoner. He then uses his second wish to crown himself Sultan. Aladdin tricks Jafar into wishing for himself to become a genie so that his power will be unmatched and  the Genie grants Jafar's wish who is then sucked into the lamp, bound to it for eternity.

Aladdin uses his third and final wish to set Genie free. He then admits to Jasmine that he loves her, but he cannot pretend to be someone he's not. Seeing the nobility in Aladdin, the Sultan gives permission and Aladdin and Jasmine are married and board the magic carpet and take flight.

About

The spectacular musical is based on the novel ‘Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West’ by Gregory Maguire and adapted for the stage by Winnie Holzman. The music and lyrics is composed by Tony Award-winner Wayne Cilento and the production is directed by two-time Tony Award-winner Joe Mantello. The spectacle recites an incredible untold story of an unlikely but profound friendship between two young women who first meet as sorcery students which leads to a powerful tale of love, acceptance and friendship that will resonate and delight the audience.

In the Land of Oz, the Ozians are rejoicing over the demise of Elphaba, the Wicked Witch of the West. Glinda the Good Witch talks about Elphaba’s past when an Ozian asks her if Elphaba and she were friends. She reluctantly admits that they were, leading Glinda to tell them the story of how they became best friends. Elphaba, a rogue child, being born with green skin color, as her mother had used the green elixir and her sister Nessarose in a wheelchair reach the Shiz University where the beautiful and popular Glinda also studies. The headmistress, Madame Morrible, decides to take Nessarose under her protection, leaving Elphaba and Galinda as roommates, much to their chagrin. Elphaba attempts to take back her sister, and her anger manifests physically in an explosion. Madame Morrible recognizes that Elphaba has special powers and decides to teach her sorcery. She tells Elphaba her powers might allow her to one day work with the Wonderful Wizard of Oz, something Elphaba has dreamed of her whole life. All of this attention does little to endear Elphaba to Galinda, and the feeling is mutual and they fight constantly.

An Arjiki prince, Fiyero arrives at Shiz and they all decide to have an orientation party at the Ozdust Ball that evening. Glinda gives an ugly hat to Elphaba to wear at the party and Elphaba takes it as an act of kindness. Elphaba arrives wearing the witch's hat only to find the other students laughing and staring while she awkwardly dances alone. Glinda feels regretful and goes to dance with Elphaba and they start to bond.

Elphaba begins to fall for Fiyero, when Madame Morrible comes to tell her that the Wizard has decided to meet her. Nessarose, Glinda and Fiyero come to see her off. Elphaba invites Glinda to the Emerald City with her and the girls meet the Wizard of Oz. He promises Elphaba that he will grant her request if she proves herself. Madame Morrible gives her an ancient book of spells, called the Grimmerie, which only the magically gifted can read. Elphaba is asked to try a levitation spell on the Wizard's monkey servant, Chistery. However, the spell does not go the way Elphaba plans when Chistery sprouts wings and she realizes the Wizard has no powers and he is merely a fraud. He offers Glinda and her everything they have ever wanted if they will help him, but Elphaba is unwilling to comply. She runs away, and to prevent the truth from getting out, Madame Morrible spreads rumours that Elphaba is a "wicked witch". She performs a spell on a broom and flies away from the Emerald City, never to return.

Elphaba's opposition of the Wizard's regime has earned her the title "the Wicked Witch of the West” and Glinda “the Good". Fiyero becomes the Captain of the Guard. Elphaba returns to the Wizard's palace to free the monkey servants coming across the Wizard himself. He tries once again to convince her to work with him, and offers to redeem her reputation. Angered, she accuses the Wizard but he calls the guards to arrest Elphaba for fraud. Fiyero instead helps Elphaba escape and decides to leave with her. Broken hearted, Glinda suggests to the Wizard and Madame Morrible that to apprehend Elphaba, the can use her sister as a bait.

Elphaba and Fiyero fall in love and promise to be together always. Glinda and Elphaba meet again at the site where Nessarose has been crushed by a house with a girl named Dorothy Gale inside. Fueled by the rivalry over Fiyero, the two have a heated argument. Later, all of Oz's citizens unite, declaring war on Elphaba. Glinda feeling guilty, flees to warn Elphaba, as the angry mob sets out to take Kiamo Ko by force. Back at Kiamo Ko, Elphaba has already captured Dorothy. Glinda travels to Elphaba's castle to warn her of the danger and persuade her to let Dorothy go. Elphaba refuses until she receives a letter saying that Fiyero has died. The two women forgive each other and Elphaba gives the Grimmerie to Glinda. The two friends embrace for the last time before saying goodbye. Dorothy throws a bucket of water on Elphaba, who appears to disintegrate leaving behind her black hat and the small bottle of green elixir.

In the Emerald City, Glinda confronts the Wizard with Elphaba's bottle, which he recognizes as identical to his own. He was Elphaba's biological father and the cause of her green skin. Meanwhile, back at the castle, Fiyero (now a scarecrow) comes to the spot where Elphaba was melted. Making sure that no one is watching, he knocks on the floor and out from a trap door steps Elphaba, very much alive; the entire thing was a ruse to convince her enemies of her death and to ensure her future with Fiyero, who was transformed into the scarecrow by her spell unintentionally. Before leaving, Elphaba regrets that she will never see Glinda again and tell her that they are alive. As the people celebrate and Glinda mourns, Elphaba and Fiyero leave Oz together forever.

Interesting Facts about Warwick Castle

  • Over its 950 years long history, the Warwick Castle has been owned by 36 different individuals, plus four periods as Crown property under seven different monarchs.
  • The Great Hall is the largest room in the Castle and continues to be the most explored and interesting space. In the early middle ages, straw and dirt covered the floor of the Great Hall. The Great Hall as it stands today was first constructed in the 14th century. It was rebuilt in the 17th century and then restored in 1871 after it had been badly damaged by a fire which swept through part of the Castle.
  • The gatehouse features murder holes, two drawbridges, a gate, and portcullises. Murder holes is the appropriate name for the holes on the battlements, where boiling tar and human waste was poured out to kill invaders. 
  • King Edward IV was also locked up in the Warwick Castle during the War of the Roses. Richard Neville, the Earl of Warwick, captured him and then attempted to reign. After he removed two kings from power, Neville justifiably earned the name of The Kingmaker. But he was not welcomed by the nobility, so he released the King after a few months. The Castle Dungeons are now open and visitors can witness precisely where the tortuous imprisonments took place.
  • Many royalties have also paid visit to the Warwick Castle. When Queen Elizabeth I visited the castle in the 16th century, it was in such a bad state that they had to construct a separate timber building exclusively for her. In 1868, Queen Victoria visited the castle, Elizabeth II, paid a visit in 1997, while Diana, Princess of Wales, visited on July 8, 1986.
  • The advent of tourism began towards the end of the 17th century when individuals started visiting the castle.
  • Through the 20th century, successive earls expanded its tourism potential until in 1978, after 374 years in the Greville family, it was sold to the Tussauds Group, a media and entertainment company for £1.3 million, who opened it as a tourist attraction.
  • In 2001, Warwick Castle was named one of Britain’s “Top 10 historic houses and monuments” by the British Tourist Authority.
  • On 21 August 2006, the trebuchet claimed the record as the most powerful siege engine of its type. The trebuchet was an old medieval launching weapon, and the most powerful one in the world. It is roughly the height of three houses and it has launched a 13 kg missile to a distance of 249 meters at a speed of 260 km per hour, beating the previous record held by the trebuchet at Middelaldercentret in Denmark.

About

13th to 15th century Paintings

13th to 15th century paintings are late medieval pictures of religious significance made for altars in churches or for private devotion. Many have exquisitely decorated gold-leaf backgrounds. In the 15th century, portraits and scenes from ancient history and mythology increased in importance.

Some of the works on display are by artists: Duccio, Uccello, van Eyck, Lippi, Mantegna, Botticelli, Dürer, Memling and Bellini.

 

16th Century

The leading artists of this period were portraitists who were highly prized and pictures of ancient history and mythology became almost as important as Christian subjects. Paintings were appreciated for their artistry as much as for their subject matter, and often placed in specially created galleries.

Some of the works on display are by artists: Leonardo, Cranach, Michelangelo, Raphael, Holbein, Bruegel, Bronzino, Titian and Veronese.

 

17th Century

While some artists of this period looked to the art of the past for inspiration, they always imparted their own style, from the flamboyant to the austere.  In the Netherlands, specialist painters of still life’s, landscapes and scenes of everyday life – from elegant social gatherings to lively scenes in taverns enjoyed great popularity.

Some of the works showcased are by artists: Caravaggio, Rubens, Poussin, Van Dyck, Velazquez, Claude, Rembrandt, Cuyp and Vermeer.

 

18th – early 20th Century

Although the production of grand paintings for churches and palaces continued, it became more common for artists to paint smaller works that were exhibited and sold through art dealers and public exhibitions. In the 19th century, art movements emerged, as did the idea of the independent artist who rebelled against the official art establishment.

The works include pieces by artists: Canaletto, Goya, Turner, Constable, Ingres, Degas, Cézanne, Monet and Van Gogh.

Interesting Facts About the Nutcracker Show

  • The Nutcracker ballet premiered at the Mariinsky Theatre in St. Petersburg on December 18, 1892. It was performed along with Tchaikovsky's one-act opera "Iolanta."
  • The name of the young heroine has changed quite a few times. In the original E.T.A. Hoffmann story, she is named Maria or Marie, and Clara is the name of one of her dolls. In some German versions, she is also called Marichen. In Russia, the heroine was renamed Masha after World War I.
  • Tchaikovsky based the voice of the Sugar Plum Fairy on a new instrument he discovered in Paris: The Celesta. He smuggled it into Russia from Paris to add its distinctive sound in the play. The uniquely twinkling instrument had a clear, bell-like tone with ethereal notes, perfect for the fairy-tale ambiance of The Nutcracker. He also used children's toys as instruments in keeping with the tale as a children's story.
  • The Christmas ballet was first performed outside of Russia in England in 1934.
  • Tchaikovsky did not believe that The Nutcracker was exceptional. In fact, he apparently felt that the music that accompanied the ballet of Sleeping Beauty that he had previously composed was far more superior. Ironically, today The Nutcracker is one of the best known and admired pieces he wrote in his lifetime.
  • According to a German folklore, the nutcrackers protect your family and bring your home good luck. For this reason, nutcrackers were often given to children at Christmastime.
  • Tchaikovsky died less than a year after the original production of The Nutcracker. Critics were disappointed with the piece and its future looked bleak. It wasn’t until George Balanchine’s production of the ballet in 1954 that the show began to gain popularity but alas, he died never knowing the impact his work would have on audiences around the world.

The extremely beautiful new queen is as cruel as she is pretty. She would often ask her magic mirror, “Who is the fairest of them all” and the mirror would reply that she was. However, one day when she asked this same question of the mirror, the mirror replies, “Snow White is the fairest of them all”. Enraged and filled with envy, she orders her guard to kill Snow White and bring back her heart. The guard takes her to the forest, but soon takes pity on her and spares her life.

Lost and alone in the forest, Snow White wanders around until she chances upon a small cottage belonging to seven dwarfs. She goes inside to find it empty with seven tiny beds. After eating, she goes off to sleep and is found by the dwarfs, when they come back home at night. Soon, the dwarves start loving and caring for Snow White and she ends up staying with them. Meanwhile, back at the palace, the queen again asks the mirror "Magic mirror on the wall, who is the fairest one of all?" The mirror tells her that Snow White is still the fairest in the land. Finding out that Snow White is still alive, she devises cunning plans to kill the girl but is unsuccessful every time as the dwarves save her.

About

One of the longest running West End shows, the famous spellbinding musical is composed by the legendary Andre Lloyd Weber and has been adapted from a French novel of the same name by Gaston Leroux. A 1986 Olivier award and the 1988 Tony award winner, it is an enthralling haunting tale of unrequited love that evokes a bouquet of emotions. Set against a backdrop of lavish set, magnificent costumes and enchanting musical score, The Phantom of Opera makes for a fabulous entertaining show.

The Phantom of Opera revolves around a disfigured musical genius and magician who lives under the Paris Opera House. In the middle of rehearsals, as the prima donna Carlotta is singing, a backdrop inexplicably falls down nearly killing her. Post this she refuses to perform and the directors find an immensely talented choir singer Christine to replace her. Christine has been taking her musical lessons from a mysterious figure whom she only knows as ‘Angel of Music’. It is in fact the Phantom himself who is taken by her beauty and wishes to catapult her to stardom.

Christine’s first show is attended by Raoul who recognizes her as his childhood friend and post the show wishes to take her out for dinner. Hearing this, the Phantom gets jealous and Christine asks him to reveal himself. The Phantom obliges by appearing as a ghostly, partially masked face in her mirror and takes her to his lair where she sees an image of herself in a wedding gown. Overwhelmed, she faints and is awaken by Phantom’s soulful music. Unable to resist herself, she goes up to Phantom and lifts his mask to reveal his grotesque face. Scared, she recoils and Phantom expresses his wish to be loved by her. Moved by pity, Christine returns the Phantom's mask to him and the Phantom takes her back above ground.

The Phantom sends notes to Raoul that he should make no attempt to see Christine again, to Carlotta saying her "days at the Opéra are numbered." and to Ms. Grie demanding that Christine replace Carlotta as the Countess in the new opera, Il Muto and that Box 5 be empty for him in the theatre. The managers are warned they will face a "disaster beyond imagination" if these instructions aren't met. Not paying heed to the warnings, they enrage Phantom who kills a staff member and makes Carlotta lose her voice. In the ensuing chaos, Christine escapes with Raoul and divulges to him about the Phantom. Raoul promises to love and protect her which is overheard by Phantom and leaves him heartbroken.

Six months later, in the midst of a masquerade ball, the Phantom makes an appearance and announces that he has written an opera entitled ‘Don Juan Triumphant’ and demands that it be produced immediately with Christine (who is now secretly engaged to Raoul) in the lead role, and he warns of dire consequences if his demands are not met. Noticing an engagement ring on a chain around Christine's neck, the Phantom angrily pulls it from her and vanishes in a blinding flash of light.

Before rehearsals, Raoul plots to use the première of Don Juan Triumphant as a trap to capture the Phantom and begs Christine to help him lure the Phantom into the trap, but she refuses. The show premieres with Christine and Piangi singing when Christine comes to the sudden realisation that she is singing not with Piangi, but with the Phantom himself. Phantom once again expresses love for Christine and forces his ring onto her finger. Christine rips off his mask, exposing his horrifically deformed face to the shocked audience. Exposed, the Phantom escapes with Christine to his lair and forces her to put on the wedding dress.

Raoul finds them and attempts to persuade the Phantom to spare Christine. He captures Raoul and tells Christine that he will free Raoul if she agrees to stay with him forever, and if she refuses, Raoul will die. As the Phantom and Raoul both plead to her, Christine mournfully wonders what kind of life the Phantom has lived. She tells the Phantom that he is not alone and kisses him, showing him compassion for the first time in his life.

The Phantom, having experienced kindness at last, understands that he cannot compel Christine to love him and sets them both free. Raoul hurries Christine out of the lair, but she returns alone to give the Phantom back his ring.
