Our guide to this performance

What you'll hear

We are preparing for an evening of dance that highlights the evolving identity of this leading British company. As the specific pieces for this performance have not yet been confirmed, you can expect a programme that reflects the dual strengths of the current repertoire. This typically involves a balance between the demanding technical structures of the nineteenth-century classics and the experimental, often more athletic works of contemporary choreographers. During the performance, we suggest focusing on the relationship between the dancers' precise footwork and the orchestral accompaniment. You might notice how the choreography shifts from large, synchronised movements of the full company to the intimate, expressive storytelling of a duet. The evening is likely to be shaped as a triple bill or a single sustained narrative, showcasing the physical versatility and stamina required of modern professionals in a historic setting.

Who's performing

The Royal Ballet and Opera, based at the Royal Opera House in London, is an ensemble of international standing. They are recognised for maintaining a rigorous standard of classical technique while fostering new creative voices in the world of dance. Their home ground provides a majestic backdrop for a resident company known for its dramatic clarity and cohesive ensemble playing. Whether performing traditional narrative works or new commissions, the company is celebrated for its disciplined approach and the high level of artistry shared by its diverse group of dancers.

Planning your evening

This performance takes place at the Royal Opera House in Covent Garden, London. As this is a dance production, the narrative is conveyed entirely through movement, making it an accessible choice if you are new to the art form or prefer non-verbal storytelling. The total running time for this event has not been specified. There is no formal dress code required to attend, though many guests choose smart-casual attire. We recommend arriving early to find your seat in the historic auditorium before the performance begins.
