Welsh National Opera:The Merchant of Venice
Wales Millennium Centre, Bute Place, Cardiff Bay, CF10 5AL, UK
Shylock is a proud and defiant man. But when he demands a severe debt to be repaid he becomes a victim of his own intransigence and most seriously, the prejudice of others. André Tchaikowsky was best known as a concert pianist, but being a composer meant more to him. The Merchant of Venice is a potent attack on prejudice and feels like a deeply personal response to his experiences as a child in the Warsaw Ghetto. It's amazing that it has languished unperformed for over three decades.
Cost: £7 - £43
Time: 7 pm

Cardiff Freshers Street Party: Rio Carnival
Greyfriars Road, Cardiff, Glamorgan, CF10 3DP
In the spirit of GB's incredible efforts at the 2016 Olympics, we're bringing the Carnival back to Cardiff! You can expect: fire breathers, carnival dancers, full venue decor across all venues, over 6000 students! After ridiculous road block street parties the last years, you can be sure that this will by far be the biggest event to be held over #CardiffFreshers2016. A lot of people lay claim to the fact that their event will be 'the biggest of your freshers' but with over 6000 people having attended this each year - you would be mad to miss it!
