    Anna Netrebko in Recital

    24 June 2026

    Anna Netrebko performs an intimate recital on the main stage of the Royal Opera House, with piano accompaniment by Pavel Nebolsin, and featuring special guests mezzo-soprano Elena Maximova and violinist Kurt Mitterfellner.

    A white woman in an off-the-shoulder, ivory satin gown stands against a dark, smoky background. Her long, wavy hair falls loosely over her shoulders, and she gazes softly forward with a pensive and exhausted expression, illuminated by gentle, diffused light. The air is thick with what looks like battle smoke. The woman represents Elvira in Richard Jones’ production of I Puritani.

    I puritani

    30 June–19 July 2026

    A couple's faith is tested.  

    Two performers romantically embrace. One has long brown hair and is wearing a red dress with black fur lining and she holds onto the head of the other performer who is wearing a paint-specked artist smock jacket. They are Aida Garifullina performing as Musetta and Andrzej Filończyk as Marcello in The Royal Opera’s La bohème.
