The Royal Ballet’s The Cellist is choreographed by Cathy Marston, inspired by the momentous life and career of celebrated cellist Jacqueline du Pré and set to a commissioned score by Philip Feeney. Puccini’s Il trittico, a collection of three one-act operas is conducted by Antonio Pappano alongside an acclaimed cast including Eva-Maria Westbroek and Ermonela Jaho. This is followed by Frederick Ashtons’s La Fille mal gardée from The Royal Ballet, starring Carlos Acosta and Marianela Nuñez and The Royal Opera’s spell-binding production of Mozart’s glorious opera The Magic Flute with a wonderful cast including Roderick Williams as Papageno.
