Our guide to this performance

What you'll hear

We are currently awaiting the confirmed details for this performance, as the full repertoire has not yet been announced. When you attend a production by the resident company at the Royal Opera House, you typically encounter a programme that balances technical precision with deep expressive range. Whether the evening features a single full-length narrative or a triple bill of shorter works, you can expect a focus on the classical foundations of the art form alongside more contemporary developments in movement. In this setting, you should listen for how the live orchestral accompaniment interacts with the dancers, providing the rhythmic pulse that drives the choreography. The staging often makes use of the venue's grand scale, employing intricate costumes and lighting to create a specific atmosphere. We look forward to seeing how this particular selection of pieces showcases the physical stamina and artistic versatility that are the hallmarks of this ensemble.
