The Choral

Opens January 9

1916. As the war rages on the Western Front, Dr. Henry Guthrie (Ralph Fiennes), an uncompromising but driven chorus master, is hired to reinvigorate the struggling Choral Society of Ramsden, Yorkshire. When conscription papers begin to arrive, threatening to drag the few remaining young men of the town into the war, the community discovers that the best response to the chaos laying waste to their lives is to make music together.

From the BAFTA, Olivier, and Tony Award winning duo of director Nicholas Hytner and writer Alan Bennett (The Madness of King George, The History Boys, The Lady in the Van).

"This wintry tale of art blooming in adversity is far from a schematic feel-good jaunt... it’s an anthem for doomed youth in a familiar Bennett key: wry, melancholic, sneakily profound."
Robbie Collin, The Telegraph (UK)
"A quiet and consistent pleasure: an unsentimental but deeply felt drama which subcontracts actual passion to the music of [Edward] Elgar and leaves us with a heartbeat of wit, poignancy and common sense."
Peter Bradshaw, Guardian
