ROH Live Cinema Relays

16 Oct 14 – 05 Jul 15, 14:00 and 19:15

The Royal Opera House brings its unmatched productions of much loved ballets and operas to wider audiences with a full programme of live cinema relays.

That fabulous opera production you always wanted to see but couldn’t get a ticket for? That charming ballet that came round before you were ready to book your ticket? It happens to all of us. Now, however, we need no longer rue missed opportunities.

Coming to a cinema near you: the best Covent Garden has to offer with the Royal Opera House’s new season of live cinema relays.

The growing success of this initiative – cinema ticket sales were up by 54% last year – led the Royal Opera House to offer an even bigger and more varied choice from its programme for the 2014/15 season.

And to make your life even easier, if you can’t make it to the live relay, there’ll be a repeat screening - the encore - on a Sunday after the original live showing.

So, you have no excuse to miss the great performances coming to London in the next few months.

Here are just a few appetisers:

It starts with all guns blazing with Manon, one of Kenneth McMillan’s unparalleled tour de force, emotionally wrenching ballets. The sublime Marianela Nuñez will dance the title character, the innocent country girl whose greed and love for the good things in life leads to her downfall and that of her idealist poet lover, Des Grieux, danced in this performance by the ever-reliable Federico Bonelli.

Hot on the heels of Manon comes Verdi’s I Due Foscari, an Italian tale of civic duty versus family honour not seen in Covent Garden for almost twenty years. If you haven’t yet booked your ticket for the ROH, you’re unlikely to get one, as this production stars the great Plácido Domingo newly recast as a baritone and always sure to drawn in the crowds. The fact that the Royal Opera’s Music Director, Antonio Pappano is conducting will be an added draw.

As an alternative to more traditional Christmas fare, we suggest Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, choreographer Christopher Wheeldon’s exuberant take on the Lewis Carroll surreal tale; later in the year, Frederic Ashton’s irresistible La Fille Mal Gardée, complete with live pony and dancing chickens, will provide a special treat for children and grown-ups alike.

And, of course, that most classic of all classical ballets, Swan Lake, will be on offer too.

When it comes to opera, don’t miss a rare chance to see David McVicar’s new production of Andrea Chénier, with the tenor of the moment, Jonas Kaufmann, in the title role. That comes round at the end of January.

These are just a few highlights of the very full selection of seven operas and four ballets to be relayed live to a cinema near you during the Royal Opera House’s 2014/15 season. Whatever your taste in opera and dance, you’re sure to find something to please you; and with the Encore option you need never miss a good programme again.
