Cymru, coal and choral singing
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.
Running Time: Approximately two hours and 25 minutes with one interval
Sung in English, with surtitles in Welsh and English

Cymru, cloddio glo a chanu corawl
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.
