SUMMARY:RBO Live: Così Fan Tutte
DESCRIPTION:Spurred on by a bet\, two young men hatch a plan to test the fidelity of their girlfriends. What follows is a slippery game of seduction and power\, the four lovers plunging into a dizzying world of shifting reality\, where truth becomes increasingly unstable. \nCosì fan tutte has lost none of its sting since it first scandalised audiences in 1790. In her Main Stage debut\, Netia Jones\, Associate Director of The Royal Opera\, reimagines Mozart’s comedy of manners through a sharp contemporary lens\, where 18th-century romantic trickery meets deeply satirical high-tech deceit. Taking on the roles of the lovers is an exciting young cast led by Louise Alder\, Simone McIntosh\, Mingjie Lei and Huw Montague Rendall\, with Gerald Finley as their manipulative game-master Don Alfonso and Emily Pogorelc as Despina. Thomas Hengelbrock conducts\, bringing out the exquisite melodies that underpin the provocative\, and resolutely modern\, themes at the heart of the opera.

SUMMARY:RBO: Alice's Adventures in Wonderland
DESCRIPTION:At a garden party on a sunny afternoon\, Alice is surprised to see her parents’ friend Lewis Carroll transform into a white rabbit. When she follows him down a rabbit hole\, events become curiouser and curiouser…As Alice journeys through Wonderland\, she encounters countless strange creatures. She’s swept off her feet by the charming Knave of Hearts\, who’s on the run for stealing the tarts. Confusion piles upon confusion. Then Alice wakes with a start. Was it all a daydream? Christopher Wheeldon’s Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland burst onto the stage in 2011 in an explosion of colour\, stage magic and inventive\, sophisticated choreography. Joby Talbot’s score combines contemporary soundworlds with sweeping melodies that gesture to ballet scores of the 19th century. Bob Crowley’s wildly imaginative\, eye-popping designs draw on everything from puppetry to projections to make Wonderland wonderfully real. The result shows The Royal Ballet at its best\, bringing together world-class dance with enchanting family entertainment and ingenious music and design.

SUMMARY:RBO Live: Romeo & Juliet
