Now showing

A bittersweet blend of young love and mid-life melancholy, Richard Strauss's charming Viennese comedy returns to the London Coliseum in David McVicar's delightfully detailed staging, first seen in 2008. Rejoicing in some of the composer's most opulent orchestration and voluptuous melodies, as well as some insidiously catchy waltz tunes, Der Rosenkavalier offers a treat for fans of the female voice.

THE TALES OF HOFFMAN

From 10 Feb 2012

From 25 Jun 2012

From astrology to alchemy and physics to philosophy, his thirst for knowledge was insatiable and, as a key advisor to Elizabeth I, he is credited with providing much of the intelligence which shaped ?the British Empire? established under her rule. Dee also dabbled in the occult and, ultimately, this fascination destroyed him. Conned by deranged medium, Dee?s career ended in disgrace and sexual scandal and he died discredited and penniless.
