Trailer: Carmen (Bizet)


Discover more: www.roh.org.uk The Spanish heat and gypsy passion of Carmen take to the stage as The Royal Opera presents the first revival of Francesca Zambello's vibrant production with Tanya McCallin's richly coloured designs. It's a great stage recreation of the sun-drenched and sultry world of 19th-century Spain, with its ranks of soldiers and crowds of peasants, its gypsies and bullfighters, its spectacle and its deadly, white-hot emotions. Star tenor Marcelo Álvarez is Don José, the soldier she forces to murderous jealousy over her new affair with the bullfighter Escamillo, played by Kyle Ketelsen. It's a perfect cast to bring alive the sexy solos, rousing choruses, impassioned arias and Spanish dances of one of the most famously tuneful of all operas and one of the most enduringly popular works in the entire repertory.

Trailer: Sylvia


Discover more: www.roh.org.uk Ashton's Sylvia was restored to the splendour of its elegant and opulent three-act form for the 75th anniversary celebrations of The Royal Ballet and it is now firmly back in the Company's repertory. Its story, from Greek myth, tells of Sylvia, whose vows of chastity mean she cannot return the love of the shepherd Aminta. Eros, up to his tricks, intervenes, only to see Sylvia abducted by the hunter Orion. Rescuing her, Eros finally brings the lovers together. Ashton was inspired by the music of Leo Délibes to create such great choreographic sequences as the famous Act III pas de deux and the role of the mischievous Eros, one of those delightful, darkly comic characterisations for which Ashton became known and loved. With Margot Fonteyn as his original Sylvia, Ashton made the title role a wonderful showcase for virtuosity, invention and classical beauty. And it is indeed a beautiful ballet to look at -- the epitome of Ashton style in stage settings of great detail and painterly splendour. A Royal Opera House production

Mozart - Don Giovanni (Royal Opera House)


Don Giovanni is one of the timeless classics of all opera. Mozart's music, and the words of his great collaborator Da Ponte, are brought to life in Francesca Zambello's engrossing production from 2002 with its rich and colourful designs by Maria Bjornson. The music is memorable, dramatic and enjoyable: from the seductive solo voices of the famous 'La ci darem la mano' to the fabulous ensemble as Don Giovanni's infatuated conquests, vengeful victims and their outraged relatives join forces for justice. And retribution does finally come to Don Giovanni, a serial womanizer and a murderer, with the searing flames of Hell ready to engulf him. Simon Keenlyside heads the outstanding cast, conducted by renowned Mozart expert Charles Mackerras. Don Giovanni: Simon Keenlyside Leporello: Kyle Ketelsen Commendatore: Eric Halfvarson Donna Anna: Marina Poplavskaya Donna Elvira: Joyce DiDonato Don Ottavio: Ramón Vargas Zerlina: Miah Persson Masetto: Robert Gleadow The Orchestra and Chorus of the Royal Opera House Conductor: Charles Mackerras Stage Director: Francesca Zambello Recorded live at the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden, London, on 8th & 12th September 2008.

CINDERELLA (CENDRILLON) IN CINEMAS IN JANUARY


CINDERELLA (CENDRILLON) IN CINEMAS JANUARY 2012 For the first time ever, The Royal Opera presents the story of Cinderella as told in Massenet's opera Cendrillon. The production, new to the Royal Opera House, is by Laurent Pelly, whose previous work here has included the spectacularly successful La Fille du régiment, a heart-warming L'elisir d'amore and last Season's stylish new Manon. Pelly brings his characteristic lightness of touch, wit and elegance to Massenet's delightfully tuneful score against sets and costumes of fairytale charm. Joyce DiDonato takes the title role, with Alice Coote -- just like the Principal Boy familiar from British pantomime -- as her Prince Charming. And there has of course to be a fairy godmother, played by Eglise Guttiérez, in this version of a tale that gained particular popularity from the published fairytales of Frenchman Charles Perrault. Musical highlights include the fairy godmother's airy coloratura, the orchestral dances of the ball, the March of the Princesses, and of course rapturous duets between the Prince and Cendrillon. French music specialist Bertrand de Billy is the conductor for an opera of radiance and charm. Cendrillon: Joyce DiDonato Fairy Godmother: Eglise Guttiérez Prince Charming: Alice Coote Royal Opera Chorus Orchestra of the Royal Opera House Conductor: Betrand de Billy Set design: Barbara de Limburg Stage Director: Laurent Pelly For more information on where to buy tickets, please visit www.roh.org.uk Please 'Like <b>...</b>
