Following the success of Royal Ballet Live earlier this year, we’re delighted to announce that opera lovers will get the chance to enjoy an entire day backstage with The Royal Opera. On Monday 7 January, from 10.30am (GMT), we will be broadcasting Royal Opera Live around the world online and free on the Royal Opera House website, the Guardian website and the new, digital arts service, The Space. The day promises to offer an unprecedented glimpse into life behind the scenes with The Royal Opera, with ten hours of uninterrupted activity, including live rehearsals, interviews and insights, all from the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden, London.
HIGHLIGHTS THROUGHOUT DAY
Highlights will include glimpses of working rehearsals of Harrison Birtwistle’s gripping modern classic, The Minotaur, rehearsals of our Director of Opera Kasper Holten’s new production of Tchaikovsky’s poignant and bittersweet Eugene Onegin, a chance to watch the Royal Opera Chorus rehearse the ‘Chorus of the Hebrew Slaves’ for our new production of Verdi’s early masterpiece Nabucco and an opportunity to see a preview of the models, set and costume designs for Associate Director of Opera John Fulljames’s new production of Rossini’s La donna del lago, inspired by Walter Scott’s thrilling poem The Lady of the Lake.
INTERVIEWS
Throughout the day there will be live interviews with our Director of Opera, Kasper Holten, as well as with Music Director Antonio Pappano, and insights into the working lives of some of our Jette Parker Young Artists, several international singers and members of the the Orchestra of the Royal Opera House – and much, much more. At the end of the day we will join world-renowned tenor and ‘Popstar to Operastar’ sensation Rolando Villazón as he prepares before taking to the stage as Rodolfo in Puccini’s most romantic opera, La bohème.
EXPERIENCE ACT III OF DIE WALKÜRE
Finally, settle down in the evening to experience Act III of Wagner’s Die Walküre, recorded earlier this Season with 21 cameras, giving a truly unique view of opera. And if that isn’t enough, you can choose to watch the action from three different perspectives via The Space.
