Royal Ballet & Opera 2026/27: The Nutcracker
OmU
At a cozy Christmas party, young Clara meets the mysterious magician Drosselmeyer, who gives her a Nutcracker figurine. Once all the guests have left and the house is asleep, Clara sneaks downstairs to look for the doll. But instead, she finds Drosselmeyer, who takes her on a journey into a world full of magic: wondrous landscapes, snowdrifts, and glittering confections. Here, toys come to life, and the magic never ends. Peter Wright’s production of this Christmas classic for young and old brings Tchaikovsky’s astonishing orchestral score to life and lends Julia Trevelyan Oman’s historical staging splendor and glory.

Saint-Saëns: Samson et Dalila
OmU
The opera is based on the Biblical tale of Samson and Delilah found in Chapter 16 of the Book of Judges in the Old Testament. It is the only opera by Saint-Saëns that is regularly performed. The second act love scene in Delilah's tent is one of the set pieces that define French opera. Two of Delilah's arias are particularly well known: "Printemps qui commence" and "Mon cœur s'ouvre à ta voix", the latter of which is one of the most popular recital pieces in the mezzo-soprano/contralto repertoire. Staged by greek director Yannis Kokkos and conducted by Valery Gergiev on May 25th, 2016 at the Mariinsky Theatre.
