Rigoletto
Music by Giuseppe Verdi
Libretto by Francesco Maria Piave

In the court of the Duke swirls a storm of intrigue, lust and betrayal. Rigoletto the jester struggles in vain to keep his daughter from the Duke's relentless desires. Vowing vengeance, he takes matters into his own hands only to become the unwitting punchline of a darker force. 

Directed by Julien Chavaz and conducted by Carlo Montanaro. Sung in Italian with instant screen translation in English and Spanish. 

The Marriage of Figaro
Music by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
Libretto by Lorenzo Da Ponte

Love, loyalty and lies can be a tricky trio. In Mozart's hands, they're perfectly wound into a comedy brimming with mistaken identities, youthful yearning and hilarious antics. Will Figaro keep his wife's heart safe from the Count's amorous advances?

Directed by Laurent Pelly and conducted by Harry Bicket. Sung in Italian with instant screen translation in English and Spanish. 

The Turn of the Screw
Music by Benjamin Britten
Libretto by Myfanwy Piper

In the shadowed corridors of a country estate, a young governess finds herself destabilized by mystery. As disturbing events occur, she grapples with increasing paranoia that plunges audiences into a realm of psychological suspense. This is an operatic ghost story for the ages. 

Directed by Louisa Muller and conducted by Gemma New. Sung in English with instant screen translation in English and Spanish.

La bohème
Music by Giacomo Puccini
Libretto by Luigi Illica and Giuseppe Giacosa

In the vibrant playground of 1920s Paris, six Bohemians come together in pursuit of connection, meaning and artistic greatness. Set in this golden age of artistic revolution, Puccini's timeless tale of love, longing and sacrifice resonates anew.

Directed by James Robinson and conducted by Ivan Lopez Reynoso. Sung in Italian with instant screen translation in English and Spanish. 
 

Die Walküre (optional add-on)
Music and Libretto by Richard Wagner

In a broken land where rules no longer apply, Gods clash, heroes rise, and music resounds with titanic magnitude. This second installment of Wagner's Ring Cycle weaves an epic tale of forbidden love and cosmic destiny. 

Directed by Melly Still and conducted by James Gaffigan. Sung in German with instant screen translation in English and Spanish.
