Our guide to this performance
What you'll hear
For this performance of Stay Tuned, the specific works included in the programme have not yet been confirmed by the company. When you attend a mixed bill or a new creation at this venue, you can typically expect a showcase of technical precision and varied choreographic styles. We anticipate a display that highlights the physical range of the dancers, moving from the refined mechanics of classical technique to the more fluid, expressive movements found in contemporary pieces. You should listen for how the musical accompaniment dictates the pace of the evening, whether through percussive modern scores or more melodic arrangements. We suggest watching for the transition between ensemble movements and solo passages, which usually serves to demonstrate both collective harmony and individual artistry. Until the full list of works is announced, the evening remains a curated exploration of the current aesthetic direction of the resident company.

Planning your evening
This performance takes place at the Royal Opera House in London. As the specific running time and interval details have not been provided, we recommend allowing for a full evening at the theatre. The production is a dance performance, making it an accessible choice if you are new to the art form, as there is no language barrier to consider. There is no specific dress code for this venue; most attendees opt for smart-casual attire.
