Tickets for a spectacular illuminated performance to celebrate the Olympics have gone on sale.
More than a thousand dancers, musicians and singers from Oxford – as well as Reading, Henley, Windsor, Slough and Maidenhead – will take part in the Tree of Light performance at Stonor Park, in Henley, on July 21.
A sneak preview of the show – part of the Thames Valley Cultural Olympiad project – will be performed at the Oxford Torch Relay evening celebration in South Park on July 9.
Hundreds of schoolchildren from across Oxfordshire have taken part in the project so far.
Artistic director Charlie Morrissey said: “These monumental and theatrical events will take place at dusk and will be full of drama and excitement, light, colour and movement, creating an incredible human spectacle.
“The centrepiece to the events will be a 16-metre work of art, The Tree of Light, designed by acclaimed set design duo Block9, known for its sensational and apocalyptic work.”
Tickets cost £10, or concessions £8, and are available from thetreeoflight.org
