Main InfoTickets & PricesA fiddler on the roof? Sounds crazy, no?
Aberdeen's Phoenix Theatre, in conjunction with the children of Phoenix Youth Theatre, present the fabulous, classic musical, Fiddler on the Roof.
Set in the little village of Anatevka, the story centres on Tevye, a poor dairyman, his wife, Golde, and their five daughters. In the centre of a colourful and tight‐knit Jewish community, Tevye attempts to maintain his religious and cultural traditions, as outside influences encroach upon the family’s lives.
With iconic and beloved songs such as ‘Matchmaker’, ‘Sunrise, Sunset’ and ‘If I Were A Rich Man’, “Fiddler on the Roof” provides the perfect mix of humour and humanity ‐ and maybe even a few tears of sadness, joy and laughter!
Touching audiences worldwide with its warmth and honesty, this unique, universal show is a cornerstone of musical theatre tradition.

Join us and the Jewish Society to hear testimony from Holocaust survivor Harry Spiro BEM with Robert Rinder in a live broadcast from New Kings 1 to mark Holocaust Memorial Day (27th January).
Harry survived the Piotrków ghetto (the first ghetto created by the Nazis), Buchenwald concentration camp and a death march to Terezín, coming to Britain in 1945 as part of 'The Boys' alongside Robert Rinder's grandfather.
The testimony is a live webinar and will be followed by a question and answer session.
As this is a public event please register for a ticket, which also gives us a good indication as to how much tea and coffee we need. ======================= Film 1945 at Belmont Filmhouse, Aberdeen The Belmont Filmhouse is showing the film 1945 on Sunday 27th January at 13.00 hr.

As they silently make their way to town, a growing panic spreads amongst some of the more prominent townsfolk.

The inhabitants of a village in rural Soviet-occupied Hungary are preparing for the town clerk’s son’s wedding, when two Orthodox Jewish men arrive at the railway station with two large trunks. As they silently make their way to town, a growing panic spreads amongst some of the more prominent townsfolk… Ferenc Török’s striking monochrome drama - reminiscent of Fred Zinnemann’s masterful High Noon, no less - is a tense, chilling, beautifully nuanced take on a difficult, transitional period in Hungarian history. How to attend This is a free ticketed screening, and booking ahead is recommended. Tickets can be booked online, at Box Office or by calling 01224 343 500 (between 10am and 8.30pm Mon-Sat, and 12.30pm and 8.30pm Sundays) Organiser Name James Erwin Booking Link https://www.belmontfilmhouse.com/showing/1945 Belmont Filmhouse 49 Belmont Street Aberdeen Scotland AB10 1JS United Kingdom ====================
