This winter discover the enchanted, sparkling world of Christopher Hampson’s Cinderella, in the European premiere of this most beloved fairy tale. In her grief, the young Cinderella plants a rose at her mother’s graveside. When her father remarries, the future seems bleaker than ever. Her wicked stepmother is intent on pushing aside kind and beautiful Cinderella in favour of her two nasty step sisters. The course of true love never did run smooth but Cinderella does meet her prince and romance blossoms. Acclaimed New Zealand designer Tracy Grant Lord’s luxurious costumes and extravagant sets create a glittering fantasy world peopled with characters that are touching, funny and real. Dazzling against the light and dark of Prokofiev’s powerful score, this ravishing interpretation of the timeless rags-to-riches romance is everything you could wish for and more.

TRY SOMETHING NEW WITH SCOTTISH OPERA

WORLD PREMIERE A co-commission and co-production with Music Theatre Wales Sung in English with English supertitles

A bottle with the power to grant your heart’s desires could be yours. Sounds appealing? There’s a catch. You can only sell it for less than you paid for it. Oh, and if you die while you own it, your soul will go straight to hell. Novelist Louise Welsh and composer Stuart MacRae reignite their award-winning creative partnership with a tale of greed and compulsion, inspired by Robert Louis Stevenson’s short story The Bottle Imp. The Devil Inside is a compelling look at human nature - from love and selflessness to the darker side that can consume us all.

COMING UP FROM SCOTTISH OPERA THIS SPRING Handel’s ARIODANTE

‘A HILARIOUS COUP DE THEATRE THAT YOU HAVE TO SEE FOR YOURSELF’

NEW PRODUCTION TUE 16, THU 18 & SAT 20 FEB 7.15pm Sung in Italian with English supertitles

Building on the success of his beautifully-observed 2011 production of Orlando, director Harry Fehr brings his gift for storytelling to this simple yet powerful fable of innocence maligned. Tricked by a rival, Ariodante believes his future wife Ginevra is unfaithful. Disowned by her family, Ginevra’s mind begins to unravel, and a high-stakes game of love, betrayal and deceit begins.

DAILY MAIL

‘VERY FUNNY. ANYONE WHO CURRENTLY HAS, ONCE HAD, OR PLANS EVER TO HAVE TEENAGERS SHOULD SEE THIS SHOW FOR THE HORRIBLE, HILARIOUS TRUTHS IT TELLS ABOUT PARENTHOOD’ THE VANCOUVER SUN

One of Handel’s greatest operas, his music echoes this roller coaster of a story through a series of stunning arias. Caitlin Hulcup (Orfeo ed Euridice 2015) sings Ariodante and Sarah Tynan, Best Female in an Opera Production at the Wales Theatre Awards 2015, is Ginevra. Nicholas Kraemer conducts.

Dvořák’s RUSALKA PRODUCTION ORIGINATES FROM GRANGE PARK OPERA TUE 5, THU 7 & SAT 9 APR 7.15pm Sung in Czech with English supertitles

Antony MacDonald’s five-star production is full of quirky characters. With more than a nod to Hans Christian Andersen’s The Little Mermaid, his enchanting production contrasts sweet, touching moments with the dark and menacing story at its core. Rusalka, a water nymph, longs to be human so she can earn the love of the Prince. Tricked by a witch, her wish is granted. But she will be cursed for eternity if he doesn’t remain true. Dvoˇrák’s luscious score moves from the beautifully lyrical to charming folk-inspired melodies. Anne Sophie Duprels (Madama Butterfly 2014) is Rusalka and Sir Willard White is her father. Stuart Stratford conducts.

Gail Porter, Libby McArthur (River City), Lorraine McIntosh (Deacon Blue), Julie Wilson Nimmo (Balamory) and former Radio Clyde presenter Suzie McGuire star in this brand new production of Mum’s The Word 2. One of Scotland’s favourites, Mum’s The Word laughs at the wonderful comedic horrors of child and teenager-rearing in this new and updated version of the hit show. Join the Mums, now ‘older and wider’, on their journey into the parenting nightmare that is teenagers! ‘HYSTERICALLY FUNNY’, ‘POIGNANT’ and ‘THOROUGHLY ENJOYABLE’ throughout, this fantastic follow-up retains many of the funniest moments from the original production as it moves one-step-beyond into, not just the lives of their teenagers, but how the mums feel about growing older, their families and their relationships. Both funny and emotional by turn, this is a wonderful evening out.

The team behind 2013’s smash hit The Pirates of Penzance returns with another comedy classic. A stellar cast, in the hands of director Martin Lloyd-Evans, brings the fun to life with a delicious mix of cheeky English Music Hall and exquisite Japanese tradition. The Mikado has decreed that flirting should be punishable by death. But when his son Nanki-Poo falls for the beautiful Yum-Yum, it looks like someone might be heading for the executioner’s block. Packed with anti-Establishment silliness, and full of larger than life characters, this playful show features some of G&S’s most popular tunes, including Three little maids, Tit-willow and I’ve got a little list.

Hot on the heels of their smash-hit production of Hairspray, PMOS is now ready to bring their exciting new production of West Side Story to the King’s. With the truly beautiful Leonard Bernstein musical score coupled with Stephen Sondheim’s emotive lyrics, the unforgettably athletic dance sequences, and the dramatic and haunting portrayal of a modern day Romeo and Juliet love story, this show ranks as one of the all-time theatrical greats. The story follows the lives of Tony and Maria, the star-crossed young lovers who find themselves caught between two warring street gangs in New York; the American Jets and the Puerto Rican Sharks. Their struggle to survive in a world of hate, violence and prejudice is one of the most innovative and heart-wrenching musical dramas ever written.

Running for 1 week only, this show is a huge favourite with theatre-goers of all ages. Come along and be transported to New York for a musically and visually stunning experience!

The Lyric Club returns to the King’s after their much-loved productions of Annie and more recently the Gershwin classic, Crazy For You, with the upbeat and high energy audience pleaser, 9 to 5 - The Musical. 9 to 5 - The Musical, with music and lyrics by Dolly Parton and book by Patricia Resnick, is based on the 1980s hit movie 9 to 5 and delights from the outset. Set in the late 1970s the show is a hilarious story of friendship, gossip and revenge in the Rolodex era.

Go Dance 16 leaps on to the Theatre Royal stage with a fresh new showcase of work from dance schools, colleges, community groups and emerging artists. With an outstanding programme of bite-sized works by dancers and dance makers from across Scotland, Go Dance provides a fantastic platform for both established groups and up-and-coming talent to share and perform their work.

The plot centres around three unlikely female friends who when pushed to boiling point by their sexist, egotistical, lying, bigot (in other words not a nice man!) of a boss, devise a plan to get even. They conspire to take control of the company and learn there’s not very much that they can’t do - even in a man’s world! Outrageous, thought provoking and even a little romantic, this musical is all about teaming up against the odds and taking care of business. Featuring Dolly Parton’s original hit song, 9 to 5, this show is funny, feisty and full of catchy tunes guaranteed to have you dancing in your seat. So bring your friends and colleagues, leave the daily grind behind for a few hours and come and join us for a great night out - it just wouldn’t do to miss it!

Scottish Ballet’s breathtaking production of Swan Lake is set to enchant a whole new generation with an imaginative re-telling of the timeless tale. Swan Lake portrays the love story of Siegfried and the beautiful swan queen Odette. As fate has it, Siegfried betrays Odette as he mistakenly declares his love for Odile, the dark seductress. Eventually Odette forgives Siegfried, but the trust between them has been broken and Siegfried is forced to face life without her forever. Choreographed by the award-winning British dance maker David Dawson, Swan Lake will demonstrate his visceral and daring work which has made him one of the most innovative dance makers working in classical ballet today. With ethereal and stylish sets and costumes, and Tchaikovsky’s iconic score performed live by the Scottish Ballet Orchestra, don’t miss the Company’s first tour of this classic ballet in over 20 years.

Quotes from previous productions

Save the Last Dance for Me will take you back through the ‘music and magic’ of the early 60s, a time when each passing week brought another Rock ‘n’ Roll classic. This nostalgic, feel-good journey will take you back to music’s golden era, as we follow two teenage sisters through the summer of ’63. For the first time without their parents the sisters embark on a holiday to the seaside. Full of freedom and high spirits they meet a handsome young American who invites them to a dance at the local U.S. Air Force base. But young love and holiday romance is never as simple as it sounds, and the sisters soon realise that while the world around them is still watching itself in black and white, life and love can be much more colourful.
