A triple programme of short contemporary operas, commissioned and produced by ROH2, launches an exciting new programme to develop contemporary opera at the Royal Opera House through commissions from artists with established reputations in non-operatic fields.

Classical opera meets contemporary style in this ever-popular staging of Mozart’s operatic gem that brings its look – and its relevance – right up to date. But Jonathan Miller’s production for The Royal Opera also focuses on the timeless themes of a drama that sees two men test the loyalties of their girlfriends to breaking point.

In 2010, the gates of the brand new, state-of-the-art, Royal Opera House Production Park will open on a 14-acre site at High House Farm, Purfleet, Thurrock. Located within Thames Gateway, Europe’s largest regeneration area, this exciting development will transform the local area and bring new opportunities for the people of Thurrock.
