Royal Opera Chorus
Orchestra of the Royal Opera House
Co-production with China National Centre for Performing Arts, Beijing and San Francisco Opera
At a glittering party in 18th-century Paris, the poet Andréa
Chenier delivers an impassioned denunciation of Louis XVI. Five years later,
the Revolution has given way to the Terror, transforming the power balance
between Chénier, his beloved Maddalena, and Gérard, the man who could destroy
him...
Jonas Kaufmann headlines David McVicar’s spectacular staging, under the baton of long-time collaborator Antonio Pappano – who conducts Giordano’s epic historical drama of revolution and forbidden love in his last production as Music Director of The Royal Opera.
About the Royal Opera
House
Home to The Royal Ballet, The Royal Opera and the Orchestra of the Royal Opera House, the Royal Opera House brings together world-class performers and trailblazing creative teams to share unforgettable performances with audiences near and far. The theatres are in London’s Covent Garden, but their work is accessed and experienced across the UK and globally through their streams, tours, cinema programme, radio broadcasts and TV output.
Over the course of the pandemic, they curated the #OurHouseToYourHouse programme – nine live-streamed concerts and 38 productions from their archives. Content was viewed over 15 million times in 183 countries, and broadcast in partnership with the BBC, Sky Arts, Marquee TV and Netflix. During the pandemic they lost £3 in every £5 of their income and they continue to feel the financial impact as they slowly recover.
In September 2021, they returned for their first full Season since 2019, presenting a packed programme of world premieres, landmark new productions and returning favourites. Since then, they have expanded their audience through a flagship Young ROH scheme, returned to live cinema, launched Royal Opera House Stream, and extended their national impact through an ambitious curriculum-linked programme for schools, specially designed to ignite creativity, broaden participation and diversify the future of opera and ballet. They are committed to reducing their impact on the environment and aim to achieve net zero emissions by 2035.
