For 50 years, faithful patrons and lovers of the Christmas season have said: “Christmas begins with the Marionettes”, with orders for tickets coming in as early as October.

Exciting Christmas programme
Featuring their three dynamic choirs – their veteran adult, vibrant Youth and irresistible Children’s choirs – the BP Marionettes continue their 50th anniversary celebrations with a programme of audience Christmas favourites, and the exciting world premiere of Assistant Musical Director Dr. Roger Henry’s powerful new six-minute work, “There was a Man Sent From God”.

Invaluable partners
The series also introduces two new corporate partners for the BP Marionettes, who join the their title sponsor, BP Trinidad & Tobago (bpTT) in support of the series and the Marionettes’ 50th anniversary: Sweet 100.1FM, TalkCity 91.1FM, C-TV (of the Caribbean New Media Group, CNMG); and FLOW (Columbus Communications), on whose Local On Demand platform several of the Marionettes’ most popular concerts will soon be available via pay-per-view, with all proceeds going to the Marionettes Property Fund. Explained bpTT President Norm Christie: “BPTT began its partnership with Marionettes in 1972, and our commitment has endured because we share the belief that arts and culture can be used as a powerful agent for self development.”
Together, bpTT and the Marionettes once again present their cherished free matinée for institutions which care for our nation’s seniors, orphans, special needs children and adults, and our society’s most vulnerable. “For many, the Marionettes’ Christmas show marks the traditional launch of the local Christmas season. The highlight for me each year is the opportunity to join in working with my fellow employees and other volunteers in hosting the special matinée,” Christie elaborated.
