Jack Savoretti to Perform at the 2016 Olivier Awards, April 3
By: Christina Mancuso Mar. 28, 2016
Jack Savoretti is set to perform at the Olivier Awards 2016 with MasterCard on Sunday 3 April at the Royal Opera House in an exclusive performance to mark the 400th anniversary of William Shakespeare's death. The performance is inspired by 2002 album When Loves Speaks, a collection of Shakespeare's sonnets interpreted in spoken word and song which was co-curated by Alan Rickman.
Many of the album's contributors are past Olivier Award winners including Juliet Stevenson, who will be presenting an award at the ceremony, and 2016 nominees Kenneth Branagh and Imelda Staunton. Savoretti's performance of Sonnet 18, widely known for its opening line 'Shall I Compare Thee To A Summer's Day?', will be introduced by two-time Olivier Award winner Rory Kinnear - the last person to win an Oliver Award for a Shakespeare role. 2016 has been a breakout year for Jack Savoretti, with his latest album Written In Scars hitting the Top 10 in the UK. Currently on a European tour, he will be playing a sold-out headline show as part of Summer Series at Somerset House. The awards, which this year celebrate their 40th anniversary, will be hosted by two-time winner Michael Ball. The ceremony will be broadcast in the UK on ITV and Mellow Magic, Magic Radio's new digital station. Shortly after the ceremony, extended highlights will be broadcast on ITV 1 at 22:15. The full ceremony will be shown on ITV 3 on Monday 4 April at 23:00. Both broadcasts will be available on the ITV Hub for the following 30 days. Mellow Magic will broadcast the ceremony live.Facebook.com/olivierawards
