We recommend

Rigoletto
A ghostly, blurred image of a man holding a mask to his face with two expressions:one of anger and one smiling.

Rigoletto

18 October – 20 November 2026

Best for the classic opera experience. A masterpiece that’s big on drama, intensity and suspense, with bold sets and costumes, and thrilling live music.

Eugene Onegin
A man wearing dark clothes holding a woman in a light fur coat.

Eugene Onegin

9 October – 21 November 2026

Best for the literature lovers. Pushkin’s classic novel of love, regret and missed chances becomes even more heart-breaking paired with Tchaikovsky’s unforgettable melodies.

A Christmas Carol
A stylised festive winter scene outside the Howard Assembly Room with snow gathered on the ground and buildings.

A Christmas Carol

18–24 December 2026

Best for a festive treat. A magical, musical adaptation of Charles Dickens’ novel, complete with traditional Victorian carols for some extra festive sparkle.

Dead Man Walking
A man wearing a blue prison uniform sits in a chair in dark, atmospheric lighting.

Dead Man Walking

19 February – 20 March 2027

Best for something contemporary and hard-hitting. Explores the aftermath of a true crime, raising questions about the death penalty, justice and forgiveness.

Don Giovanni
A man wearing a bowler hat sits with two women leaning into him.

Don Giovanni

5 February – 3 April 2027

Best for dark comedy. Following a notorious womaniser who finally meets his come-uppance. Eclectic, unsettling and laugh-out-loud funny.
