Royal Opera House Live: Cosi Fan Tutte Friday Sept
10th 6.45pm
Book Now
The new Royal Opera Season begins with a great audience favourite -
both in opera and in its production. This great comedy with an edge
brings a classic score by Mozart to a witty story of deception and
trust tested to its limit. Can two apparently faithful couples have
their affections altered by some apparently harmless deception?
Jonathan Miller's ever-popular production updates the 18th-century
to today - while fashions and technology may have changed since
Mozart's time, human behaviour remains as fickle and manipulative
as ever. Royal Opera favourite Thomas Allen returns in a strong
cast of singers under acclaimed German conductor Thomas
Hengelbrock.
Stephen Fry Live! Monday Sept 13th 7.30pm
Book Now
The Fry Chronicles - in Figure-hugging 2D! Live from the Royal
Festival Hall, this special event marks the publication of Stephen
Fry's new volume of autobiography The Fry Chronicles. Stephen will
be beamed, direct via satellite, straight to Uckfield, to give an
exclusive preview of his hilarious, frank and uncompromising new
book. Book now for this unique opportunity to see the
multi-award-winning comedian, actor, presenter, director and writer
perform live.
Royal Opera House Live: Giselle Wednesday Jan 19th
2011 7.00pm Book
Now
Giselle is one of the most influential of all Romantic
ballets, and one of the greatest and most popular works of the
dance canon and of The Royal Ballet's repertory.
The title role presents the transcendental power of a woman's love
in the face of betrayal and is one of the most technically
demanding and emotionally challenging roles in classical dance -
not surprisingly, it is here a great showcase for the leading
ballerinas of the Company. Peter Wright's sensitive staging in the
atmospheric designs by John Macfarlane heightens the contrast as
the story moves between the human and supernatural worlds.
