Set in 1916, The Choral unfolds in Ramsden, Yorkshire, where the First World War has drained the local choral society of most of its men. Determined to carry on, the group’s ambitious committee recruits teenage boys to fill the gaps and hires a new chorus master: Dr. Henry Guthrie (Ralph Fiennes), a driven and enigmatic musician recently returned from Germany. As conscription notices begin to arrive and suspicion swirls around Guthrie’s past, the community grapples with fear, loss, and uncertainty. In the face of war’s upheaval, they discover that making music together offers solace, resilience, and a sense of unity. Reuniting director Nicholas Hytner and writer Alan Bennett, The Choral is a moving exploration of art, courage, and community during one of history’s most turbulent moments.
