The Royal Opera House 2019/20 season includes five new productions, three world premieres and the return of six much-loved heritage productions. Laemmle audiences are never far from a Royal Opera House ballet or opera broadcast captured from London’s famous Covent Garden stage.

The Royal Ballet will feature seven cinema productions including three world premieres – The Dante Project, a full work from choreographer Wayne McGregor, composer Thomas Adès, artist Tacita Dean, Lucy Carter and Uzma Hameed and a new Marston/Scarlett world premiere. As well as showcasing its contemporary face, The Royal Ballet draws on its rich cultural heritage in the 2019/20 Season. Repertory classic Coppélia and The Sleeping Beauty will delight audiences, as will Liam Scarlett’s critically acclaimed Swan Lake, which premiered last season. In addition to the live program, new for 2019/20, cinema audiences can see a recorded showing of The Royal Ballet’s 2016 festive favorite, The Nutcracker in December 2019.

Leading operatic talent will once again feature on the cinema stage in three new opera productions – Bryn Terfel and Olga Peretyatko in Donizetti’s Don Pasquale, Jonas Kaufmann and Lisa Davidsen in Beethoven’s Fidelio, conducted by Antonio Pappano, and Nina Stemme and Karita Mattila in Richard Strauss’ Elektra. This will be complimented by the return of much-loved revivals. The cinema season opens with Mozart’s Don Giovanni with Erwin Schrott in the title role, followed by Puccini’s La bohème with Sonya Yoncheva and Charles Castonovo. Later on Mascagni’s Olivier Award-winning Cavalleria Rusticana and Pagliacci will be screened featuring Roberto Alagna and Aleksandra Kurzak.

The Royal Opera House cinema season offers audiences the best seat in the house, and include exclusive behind-the-scenes footage, interviews and incredibly detailed close-ups of performers.
