Our guide to this performance

What you'll hear

For this performance of Stay Tuned, you will encounter the disciplined physicality and expressive range that characterises the company’s contemporary output. While the specific musical score and choreographic structure are not confirmed in the current listing, you can expect a production that prioritises the raw energy of live movement. We suggest focusing on the transitions between stillness and high-speed motion, as these moments often reveal the technical precision required for this specific repertoire. The evening is shaped to showcase the stamina of the performers, moving through sequences that explore how bodies interact with the stage space. Without a confirmed programme, we anticipate a selection of work that highlights the evolving language of modern dance, providing a clear window into how traditional foundations are adapted for current audiences. Listen for the relationship between the dancers’ breath and the rhythm of the accompaniment, which together create the atmosphere of the piece.

Known for a rigorous approach to both classical and modern styles, the company maintains a large roster of dancers who are recognised for their technical strength and versatility. Based at their home in Covent Garden, the ensemble is a pillar of the British arts scene, regularly staging large-scale productions that require significant athletic and artistic coordination. Their work often bridges the gap between heritage techniques and new creative directions, reflecting their role as a major national institution.

This dance performance takes place at the Royal Opera House in London on 12 December 2026.
