Running Time: 100 Minutes (Including Interval)

When (in mid-show) the Masqued Magician disappears, completely, magically and seemingly forever, Sherlock Holmes (with Watson in tow) plunges into a secret world of Edwardian Magic to solve the mystery of the missing Magi. A brand new Holmes and Watson adventure for all the family filled with Mayhem, Mirth, Mystery and…Magic.

An entirely new Sherlock Holmes story.

The play is set in 1906, as electricity and new transportation systems (the Underground) are revolutionising daily life, and the population are in thrall to superstar Music Hall Magicians and celebrity Spiritualists.

The play opens in the Persian Hall in Picadilly where the Masqued Magician is performing his nightly show. It's the talk of London. In mid-show, he vanishes, magically, totally and, seemingly, forever.

Has he been kidnapped? Is he in hiding? Has he been murdered? Who, actually, is behind the Masque?

Performed and devised by two of Britain's most respected stage magicians, the show combines everything you would expect from a Sherlock Holmes mystery.

Following her acclaimed 2024 company debut in Puccini's Madama Butterfly, soprano Asmik Grigorian returns to the Met as Tatiana, the lovestruck young heroine in this ardent operatic adaptation of Pushkin, which will be transmitted live from the Metropolitan Opera stage to cinemas worldwide on May 2. Baritone Igor Golovatenko reprises his portrayal of the urbane Onegin, who realizes his affection for her all too late.

Christian Garrick & the Budapest Café Orchestra are: CHRISTIAN GARRICK – violin, darbuka MURRAY GRAINGER – accordion KELLY CANTLON – double bass ADRIAN ZOLOTUHIN – guitar, saz, balalaika, domra Biography In 2009 Christian Garrick established the refreshingly unconventional and snappily attired Budapest Café Orchestra with the intention to present a broad range of music from all over the world in the most entertaining and fun way. 

BCO perform all their music from memory. Combined their trademark wit and charm, audiences are left tingling with warmth, delight and amazement. BCO are one of the very busiest acoustic groups for me today playing an average of 75 shows per annum. Since their inception they have recorded one album every year and in January 2025 made their 16th waxing Goulash Supernova.

 BCO are frequent guests to BBC Radio 3’s In Tune. Each member of the orchestra is a freelance musician in their own right. Adrian teaches school-age musicians of all standards and is curator of the fabled Imperial Balalaika Orchestra of Overton. Christian is a professor of jazz violin at Guildhall School of Music, Royal Academy of Music, and Royal College of Music in London. Murray is one of UK’s most in-demand accordionistas often working with Opera North and The Haar. Kelly is a veteran bassist who was once a Vagabond of Northern Soul icons Jimmy James & The Vagabonds. From a musical family with jazz and classical learnings Christian Garrick is musical director of BCO and his influences run far and wide. He first discovered Hungarian and Romanian folk and gypsy music listening to Sandor Lakatos and Taraf du Haidouks. 

Christian’s arrangements for BCO of Rachmaninoff, Tchaikovsky and Greig - the so called ‘squeezebox concertos’ - are rooted in BCO folklore. His arrangements of traditional Gaelic tunes on the album The Gaelic Chronicles was met with critical acclaim with the likes of Cerys Matthews and Mark Radcliffe both championing the disc on their respective radio shows. Christian is influenced by a range of fiddlers from Grappelli to Stuff Smith to Indian virtuosos L Shankar and L Subramaniam. Nigel Kennedy, a sometimes collaborator with Christian on stage, described him as “one of my favourite violinists.  Christian’s own unique hybrid playing style, sheer emotional passion and extraordinary improvisational abilities thrills audiences everywhere.

 "Not so much a band name as a whole genre of its own, Budapest Café Orchestra embraces an encyclopaedia of music and mischief." SCOTSMAN
“Your music is really great.” Helena Bonham Carter 

"Their arrangements are brilliant, their improvisations inspired. Their humour and, on occasion, sheer silliness hides a real brilliance of execution. In every bit of the material the charming irony hides really serious and focussed music-making. This is entertainment of a high order. Sir Roger Norrington

“The music is magic in their hands.” Sean Rafferty BBC Radio 3 

“Absolutely acoustically electrifying!” Time Out “Back by popular demand, the fiery vivacity and awe-inspiring musicianship of the finest purveyors of Eastern European gypsy music this side of a Lada scrap heap will leave you with a grin on your face and rhythm in your feet…” TIMES

"The Budapest Cafe Orchestra play a blistering barrage of Czardas, East European and Russian folk tunes that might have come from the Hot Club of Paris via the Orient Express!" Brighton Argus

"THEIR VIRTUOSIC SKILL, HILARIOUS SENSE OF HUMOUR AND UNDOUBTED SENSITIVITY KEPT THE PACKED AUDIENCE SPELLBOUND. AMAZING ....UNLIKE ANY OTHER BAND THAT I HAVE EVER HEARD." Ely Standard 

Mascara rearrangers.” Fran Riley “They make the world a better place.“ Bob Misto, Nevada, U.S. “BCO are a tonic to the eardrums and boost to the soul.” NME ONLINE
