Get ready for a toe-tapping, heart-warming adventure in Blaze of Glory! – an uplifting tale set in a 1950s Welsh Valleys community. After a devastating mining disaster a small group of Welsh miners decide to reform their Male Voice Choir to lift spirits and raise the roof! Led by their heroic Chorus Master and supported by the strong-willed women who stand by them, the men embark on a musical escapade which finds them kidnapping a yodeller, taking part in the historic trans-Atlantic link-up with Paul Robeson and blazing a trail to the Eisteddfodau and beyond.

Blaze of Glory! is a jubilant celebration of the Land of Song and a tribute to how community spirit can triumph over adversity. Traditional Welsh harmonies blend with the a cappella sounds of the 1950s, operetta, gospel and big band as our intrepid band of gleemen Lindy Hop their way to glory. Join our men in blazers, for a feel-good performance which will make your heart sing.

Approximately two hours and 20 minutes with one interval

Sung in English, with surtitles in Welsh and English

Byddwch yn barod am antur egniol a chalonogol yn Blaze of Glory! – stori ddyrchafol wedi’i osod yng Nghymoedd De Cymru yn y 1950au. Ar ôl trychineb cloddio, mae grŵp bach o lowyr yn mynd ar antur gerddorol drwy ffurfio Côr Meibion er mwyn codi calonnau – a’r to – wedi trychineb gloddio. Dan arweiniad eu Meistr Corws arwrol a chefnogaeth y merched cryf sy’n sefyll ochr yn ochr â nhw, mae’r dynion yn mynd ar antur gerddorol: yn herwgipio iodlwr, yn cymryd rhan mewn trafodaethau hanesyddol ar draws yr Iwerydd gyda Paul Robeson ac yn arwain y ffordd i’r Eisteddfodau a thu hwnt.

Mae Blaze of Glory! yn ddathliad o Wlad y Gân ac yn cydnabod y gall ysbryd cymunedol oresgyn adfyd. Cewch glywed alawon traddodiadol o Gymru ynghyd â synau a cappella o’r 1950au, opereta, gospel a band mawr, wrth i’n band gwrol o gerddorion lindi hopian eu ffordd at ogoniant. Ymunwch â’n dynion mewn blasers, am berfformiad i godi calon ac i godi gwên.
