Così fan tutte - LIVE The new Royal Opera Season begins with a great audience favourite both in opera and in its production. Can two apparently faithful couples have their affections altered by some apparently harmless deception? Jonathan Miller’s ever-popular production updates the 18th-century to today – while fashions and technology may have changed since Mozart’s time, human behaviour remains as fickle and manipulative as ever. Royal Opera favourite Thomas Allen returns in a strong cast of singers under acclaimed German conductor Thomas Hengelbrock. The title may suggest that it is the way of women to behave this way – 'such is the way they are' – but then it seems to be true of the men too. In this most sophisticated of operas with the most sublime of scores, no-one escapes unscathed.

Giselle - LIVE is one of the most influential of all Romantic ballets, as well as one of the greatest and most popular works of the dance canon and of The Royal Ballet’s repertory. The title role presents the transcendental power of a woman’s love in the face of betrayal and is one of the most technically demanding and emotionally challenging roles in classical dance – not surprisingly, it is here a great showcase for the leading ballerinas of the Company. Peter Wright’s sensitive staging in the atmospheric designs by John Macfarlane heightens the contrast as the story moves between the human and supernatural worlds.

Macbeth - LIVE Verdi's lifelong love affair with Shakespeare first took wing with Macbeth in 1847. The composer thought the play 'one of the greatest creations of man' and, along with his librettist Piave, set out to make of it, 'something out of the ordinary' on the operatic stage. Musically, Verdi's masterstrokes were the macabre choruses for the witches, the evocative orchestral colours and the increased role for the 'ugly and evil' Lady Macbeth. Although Verdi later revised the opera in 1865 for Paris, his earlier, more unified version of the opera is used here for this revival of Phyllida Lloyd's striking staging. Starring Simon Keenlyside and Martina Serafin, conducted by Antonio Pappano.
