Sadler’s Wells Associate Artist Jasmin Vardimon returns with her critically-acclaimed dance theatre production, Park. Park is an urban oasis, a place of refuge from ordinary life where eight characters play, fight, fall in love and learn to survive. In this playground of relationships, young lovers wrestle in a historic fountain, a graffiti artist sprays his story, a busker finds his only appreciative audience in a bag lady and a flag-waving bully rants worn out political beliefs. Their stories intertwine creating a modern day fairytale that is alternately sharp, funny and cruel.

SEASON 2015 DRAMATIC BY NATURE

Inés de Castro James MacMillan

New production Sung in English with English supertitles

Commissioned by Scottish Opera in 1996, James MacMillan’s extraordinary first opera, after the play by Jo Clifford, has established itself as a modern masterpiece. Shocking, intense and utterly compelling, this is an epic tale that encompasses everything from love, duty and betrayal to politics, torture and infanticide.

This new production is conducted for the first time by the composer himself.

Thu 22 & Sat 24 Jan

THEATRE ROYAL

Jenůfa Janᡠcek

A new co-production with Den Jyske Opera/Danish National Opera Sung in Czech with English supertitles

Famed for its distinctive musical voice, Jen˚ufa is one of the most powerful of all Janáˇcek’s operas.

Inspired by traditional folk melodies and with colourful orchestration and rhythmic bite, the score sweeps the story along with tension, drama and overwhelming emotion. Jen˚ufa has been keeping audiences on the edge of their seats for over 100 years, drawing its audience into a claustrophobic community that is so universally recognisable.

Supported by The Scottish Opera Syndicate

Tue 7 - Sat 11 Apr

Orfeo ed Euridice Gluck

New production Sung in Italian with English supertitles

Ashley Page, former Artistic Director of Scottish Ballet, directs Gluck’s dramatic Orfeo. Drawing inspiration from an eclectic range of sources including Dior’s ‘New Look’ and the exotic colours of tribal Africa, this production promises a visual spectacular.

Gluck’s music is full of emotion – at one moment full of fury, the next clear and pure. The cast and chorus are joined by an ensemble of dancers to bring the composer’s exceptional choreographic writing to life.

Il trovatore Verdi

Revival of the 2001 production Sung in Italian with English supertitles

With a cast and chorus of over 50, Verdi’s Il trovatore is opera at its grandest. Not seen on the Scottish Opera stage since 2001, Peter Watson’s dark and menacing production provides a majestic backdrop for a monumental story. Verdi’s score is packed with a dizzying succession of opera’s greatest hits, from the thrilling Anvil Chorus and Manrico’s stirring Di quella pira to the spinetingling Miserere.

It’s 1962 - the 50s are out and change is in the air.

Baltimore’s Tracy Turnblad, a big girl with big hair and an even bigger heart, has only one passion – to dance! She wins a spot on the Corny Collins T.V. show and overnight is transformed from outsider to irrepressible teen celebrity. But can a trendsetter in dance and fashion vanquish the programme’s reigning princess, find true love with heartthrob Link Larkin and achieve full racial integration on a major T.V. show without denting her ‘do? Only in Hairspray!

PMOS presents the smash-hit, award-winning show, full of wonderfully catchy songs and toe-tapping choreography. Welcome to the 60s!

DAVID SEIDLER

THEATRE ROYAL

DIRECTED BY

ROXANA SILBERT

JASON DONOVAN AS LIONEL LOGUE AND RAYMOND COULTHARD WITH

AS KING GEORGE VI

A prestigious co-production between Chichester Festival Theatre and Birmingham Repertory Theatre.

1936: King Edward VIII has abdicated for the love of Wallis Simpson.

Bertie, his brother, is crowned King George VI of England.

At an office in Harley Street, London, Bertie and his wife Elizabeth (the future much-loved Queen Mother) are meeting maverick Australian speech therapist and failed actor, Lionel Logue.

With the support of his wife, Bertie and Logue embark on an extraordinary journey to overcome his stammer and deliver the now iconic speech broadcast across the globe to inspire his people.

As the world stood against the Nazi threat, The King’s Speech is the true and heart-warming story of a greatly loved royal family who took this nation through its darkest hour.

gallops back out on tour to bring The West End production to theatres across the land (to the sound of banging coconut shells). Lovingly ripped off from the classic film comedy Monty Python and the Holy Grail, Spamalot is a kind-of-new musical with a book by Eric Idle and an entirely new score for the new production (well, almost), created by Eric Idle and John du Prez.

The latest tour, which is directed by Christopher Luscombe, follows hot on the heels of the can’t–believe-how-successful-it-was Monty Python Reunion at The O2 and Eric Idle’s acclaimed performance of Always Look On The Bright Side Of Life at the 2012 Olympic Closing Ceremony - the world sang along, and Spamalot audiences get the opportunity to do so too!

During the run, there have been 21 onstage moustache incidents, three suspected cases of swine flu (French pigs!), three outbreaks of nits and 92 pairs of coconuts.
