Our guide to this performance

What you'll hear

We are looking forward to this presentation of Once more to this star, a production that brings together the physical discipline and expressive range you would expect from a company of this calibre. While the full list of specific works or movements within the programme has not yet been confirmed, a typical evening at this venue focuses on a balance of technical precision and narrative weight. You will likely hear a score that supports a wide range of motion, from quiet, intimate solos to larger ensemble sequences that fill the stage. Listen for the way the orchestra supports the rhythmic demands of the dancers, providing the pulse for their movements. Even without a detailed repertoire list, you can anticipate a structure that showcases the varying textures of contemporary or classical choreography, moving between high-energy sections and moments of stillness. We expect the evening to be shaped by a clear progression of themes, allowing the silent storytelling of the performers to guide your experience of the music.

Who's performing

The company is internationally recognised for a repertoire that spans centuries, maintaining a reputation for technical excellence and dramatic depth. Known for fostering both classical heritage and new choreographic voices, the ensemble brings a high level of athleticism and grace to the stage. While no specific soloists or conductors have been named for this performance, the collective strength of the resident company ensures a standard of performance that is respected across the globe.

Planning your evening

This performance takes place at the Royal Opera House in London on 12 February 2027. As a ballet, the production relies on physical expression rather than spoken dialogue, making it accessible if you are new to the art form or visiting from abroad. The total running time has not been specified, so we recommend checking the venue schedule closer to the date for information on intervals. There is no specific dress code for this venue, though many patrons choose smart-casual attire. You should plan to arrive early to find your seat in this large, multi-tiered auditorium.
