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.

Based at their historic home in Covent Garden, the company is recognised for maintaining a vast heritage of classical works while frequently commissioning new choreography. They are known for a high standard of athletic discipline and a large ensemble of international dancers. Their reputation is built on a foundation of rigorous training and a commitment to storytelling through movement. In these performances, you will see the resident company demonstrating the versatility that has made them a central fixture of the British performing arts landscape for decades.

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. You will be seated in a traditional proscenium arch auditorium, which provides a clear view of the scale of the stage movements.
