One of the very best in the repertoire, Verdi's La Traviata is a sweeping love story set against the backdrop of decadent Paris high society where the celebrated courtesan Violetta eschews her wealthy suitors for the simple life with poor Alfredo. In this sumptuous production from the ENO, our heroine is portrayed by Heidi Stober, opposite Egor Zhuravskii (Mozart Prize winner) as her besotted suitor Alfredo.

Contemporary composer Du Yun and librettist Royce Vavrek's visceral, compelling, disturbing and deeply moving contemporary opera Angel's Bone is a latter-day parable about human trafficking mixed with shades of magical realism and a heady cocktail of punk rock, cabaret, modernism, electronic music and even some Renaissance-era polyphony. It's eclectic score and powerful story struck critics and audiences alike with awe upon its world premiere in New York in 2016, winning the Pulitzer Prize for Music just a year later.

Tyranny and treachery intwine in Giacomo Puccini's menacing tragedy, in this explosive production from the English National Opera.

Legendary opera composer Kaija Saariaho's searing drama gets a rare staging under ENO's artistic director Annilese Miskimmon, coming to the Coliseum in November 2026.

The world renowned Royal Ballet and Opera bring Benjamin Britten's oceanic masterpiece back to London, roaring into the Royal Opera House for a limited season in May 2026. Telling the tale of a fisherman ostracised by his community after a dreadful accident, Peter Grimes features one of the most singular and powerful scores in modern opera.

In a co-production with The Vienna State Opera and New York's Metropolitan Opera, the Royal Opera's 2026 season brings acclaimed French director Laurent Pelly's staging of Gaetano Donizetti's hilarious opera La Fille Du Regiment ("The Daughter of the Regiment"), wonderfully evoking the Tyrolian Alps and an enthusiastic band of soldiers raising the tomboyish Marie. Conducted by Yves Abel and featuring soprano Sara Blanch making her debut on the Royal Opera stage in the role of Marie, Pelly's production takes the best of Donizetti's original, replete with its slapstick and masquerade, and breathes new life into it for the London stage!
