The English National Opera and multi-award-winning actress Glenn Close join forces for a live stage musical of 1950s film noir Sunset Boulevard. 20 years after dazzling on Broadway in the stage show, Close reprises her starring role to much anticipation.

For the first time ever, we are invited to strip back all the facades of fashion – literally – to explore how underwear has changed over 350 years.

Winter’s Tale, Royal Opera House 12 April - 10 June



“Exhilarating,” “faultless,” “a triumph,” Christopher Wheeldon’s ballet version of Shakespeare’s late romance The Winter’s Tale is dance story-telling at its most captivating. It returns to London due to popular demand. Simmering with jealousy, rage, romance and then bitter regret, the story is told in flawless detail. And watch out for the choreographer’s smart interpretation of the famous stage direction ‘Exit, pursued by a bear’…

Land of the Lions, London Zoo opens 25 March



There’s a new king at London Zoo: a pride of endangered Asiatic lions will rule over the creatures from an especially created new enclosure. Families can get as close as they dare with state of the art ‘windowless views’ and even assist the veterinary team in role play games. Set in the midst of leafy Regent’s Park, the zoo feels miles away from the bustle of the city, and there’s always plenty of trails and hands-on activities to delight children of all ages.
