One of opera’s most beloved arias 🎶 ‘O mio babbino caro’ is one of Puccini’s most recognisable melodies, sung by Lauretta as she pleads with her father to let her marry the man she loves. The aria comes from Gianni Schicchi, Puccini’s brilliantly comic tale of a family whose desperate search for an inheritance leads them to an audacious deception. ▶️ All three instalments of Il trittico are now available to watch on Royal Ballet and Opera Stream. 🎥 Ekaterina Siurina #TheRoyalOpera #Puccini #Opera #RBOStream #RoyalBalletAndOpera

Repost @royalballetandopera “A goddess of the opera stage 👸🎼 In opera, a diva is not just a leading soprano but an artist whose voice, presence and charisma can hold an audience in the palm of her hand (…) Today the word might be used playfully for anyone with star quality, yet in the opera house it still suggests vocal brilliance, dramatic power and a touch of grandeur” #TheRoyalOpera #royaloperahouse #Diva

Last night, we unveiled our new Main Stage curtains at the Spring Gala - a truly special moment for us. We were honoured to welcome His Majesty King Charles III to celebrate an occasion that not only marks a milestone in our history, but also pays tribute to the enduring artistry and craftsmanship that bring stage design to life. Installed in 1997, the previous curtains bore the unmistakable marks of a life at the heart of performance - shaped by countless curtain rises and falls, and carrying the faint traces left by generations of dancers and singers as they rushed on stage for their final bows. Crafted in collaboration with curtain production specialists Gerriets and expert embroiderers at the Royal School of Needlework, the new curtains are made of mohair velour, each measuring 9.75m wide by 10.8m drop. They feature the personal cypher of His Majesty The King, Patron of the Royal Ballet and Opera, The Royal Opera and The Royal Ballet, who was in attendance in the Royal Box for the Gala. The evening brought together The Royal Ballet and The Royal Opera, alongside the Orchestra of the Royal Opera House, the Royal Opera Chorus and Jette Parker Artists. #RoyalBalletAndOpera #TheRoyalBallet #TheRoyalOpera #RoyalOperaHouse

Leporello has been keeping count 📜 In Mozart’s famous Catalogue Aria, Leporello shows Donna Elvira the record of his master’s conquests, including an astonishing 1,003 women in Spain alone. Mozart gives the list an irresistible comic momentum, but beneath Leporello’s wit lies the darker truth of Don Giovanni’s world, where women are reduced to numbers in a catalogue. 📅 Don Giovanni returns to our Main Stage from 10 September. 🎥 Roberto Tagliavini #TheRoyalOpera #DonGiovanni #Mozart #Opera #RoyalBalletAndOpera

Opera singers, off duty 🎶 From avoiding dairy before a performance to carrying an entire pharmacy in a backpack, taking care of a voice is no small task. In Opera Bootcamp, we go behind the scenes on performance day rituals, vocal care, and the surprisingly different ways singers choose to unwind once the curtain falls. 🎥: Jette Parker Artists @ellengpearsonmezzo and @ossianhuskinson #TheRoyalOpera #OperaBootcamp #Opera #RoyalBalletAndOpera
