Transport yourself to London’s most prestigious theatre, the Royal Opera House (ROH), in Covent Garden, by simply taking a seat at the cinema. Raw emotion and passion return to the Eden Cinemas with a new season of opera and ballet productions screened live from London.

The ROH Live Season Cinema features seven operas and six ballets, including masterpiece productions of Verdi’s La Traviata and Mozart’s Le Nozze di Figaro and other never-before-seen productions. Among the highlights are Mursorgsky’s Boris Godunov, Donisetti’s Lucia di Lammermoor and opera’s most renowned pair Mascagni’s Cavalleria Rusticana and Leoncavallo’s Pagliacci.

For the first time worldwide, The Royal Ballet will present two newly-commissioned and much anticipated contemporary ballets. The winter season kick-starts with Carlos Acosta’s production of Carmen, which will be performed as part of a quadruple bill.  Then as spring approaches, Liam Scarlett’s first full-length ballet Frankenstein will be premiered. Along with these contemporary ballets sit many established and much-loved Royal Ballet works of art such as Christmas and family favourite Peter Wright’s The Nutcracker and Kenneth MacMillan’s contrasting, heart ach-ing love story of Romeo and Juliet.
