Iago, a scheming, malicious ensign of Otello's, wants to destroy him. And he actually succeeds in doing so in a clever way: he is able to gradually convince Otello that his idol Desdemona is cheating on him. It is only after Otello has murdered his wife in a fit of hatred and jealousy that he realizes her innocence. Full of remorse, Otello stabs himself and, dying, bids farewell to his beloved dead wife with a kiss.

Continuing our exploration of Handel oratorio in 'staged' concert performances, Christophe Rousset brings his trademark operatic panache to this transcendental work. The Monteverdi Choir and English Baroque Soloists are joined by an international cast of soloists, each of them acclaimed for their thrilling performances of Handel.

London in 1750: rocked by earthquakes, and stunned by the 65-year-old Handel’s penultimate oratorio. The adopted Englishman had abandoned his tried-and-tested Old Testament formula for a work set in Christian times, and ending not with triumph and fanfare, but the minor-key death of hero and heroine.

The 18th-century audience shunned Theodora, but 225 years later this story of devotion and martyrdom is firmly recognised as a masterpiece, containing some of Handel’s greatest arias (‘As with rosy steps the morn’; ‘With darkness deep’; ´Angels ever bright and fair’), and choruses which range from the rollicking to the pious to the anguished.

The Monteverdi Choir is amongst the world’s greatest exponents of Handel oratorio, and Theodora requires the choir’s whole expressive spectrum, stretching from the piety of oppressed Christians, to the orgiastic revels of Roman pagans.

A Timeless Ballet of Love, Betrayal, and Redemption

Following the success of previous tours, Imperial Classical Ballet proudly returns with a breathtaking new season of Swan Lake. This iconic ballet tells the powerful tale of Princess Odette, cursed to live as a swan by day and a woman by night.

From the haunting beauty of the lakeside scenes to the electrifying Black Swan pas de deux, Swan Lake is a visual and emotional masterpiece. Tchaikovsky’s soaring score, performed live, enriches the drama with unforgettable depth.

The future Nobel laureate Hermann Hesse was in the midst of a life crisis when, in 1917, he wrote Demian in a three-week burst of intense writing , publishing it under the pseudonym Emil Sinclair. In it, he describes his coming of age: he experiences humiliations, breaks free from the constraints of his strict upbringing, endures bouts of alcoholism, idealizes a first love, and ultimately finds himself in a World War I military hospital. The older student Demian repeatedly appears at his side, guiding and supporting him in his questions about the connection between good and evil and in his search for his own identity. For both know: the collapse of Europe is imminent, and its rebirth requires new values.

​Two estranged friends meet in the woods on an autumn night for the first gathering of their high school storytelling club in fifteen years. When it seems they’re the only club members in attendance, their hopes for a big reunion dwindle. As they wait for their friends to arrive, they listen to cassette tapes of old stories from the club to pass the time. But there’s more on the tapes than just old stories.

 

This play is largely inspired by classic horror anthologies like Creepshow, Tales from the Crypt, and of course, Are You Afraid of the Dark?
