Following triumphant Met turns in Roméo et Juliette, La Traviata, and Lucia di Lammermoor, Nadine Sierra summits another peak of the soprano repertoire as Amina, who sleepwalks her way into audiences’ hearts in Bellini’s poignant tale of love lost and found. In his new production, Rolando Villazón — the tenor who has embarked on a brilliant second career as a director—retains the opera’s original setting in the Swiss Alps but uses its somnambulant plot to explore the emotional and psychological valleys of the mind. Tenor Xabier Anduaga returns after his acclaimed 2023 Met debut in L’Elisir d’Amore.

       Carmina Burana - Dancing in Defiance

Tickets: €13.10 to €16.80

Reservations: Click here to make a reservation

Carmina Burana is not a single, linear story but a collection of 24 medieval poems set to music by composer Carl Orff, organised into sections on themes like the fickleness of Fortune (fate), the joy of spring and nature, and the pleasures and perils of life, including drinking, gambling and lust.  The musical work, which combines choir, soloists, and orchestra, is a scenic cantata intended to be performed with dance and scenery, embodying a philosophy of "total art". The original poems were written by 13th-century goliards, who were travelling clergy, and they express a lively, often satiric, view of life in contrast to medieval society's strictures.  
 
Carmina Burana: Dancing in Defiance is a 2024 film, a live recording of Carl Orff's musical masterpiece, featuring over 100 singers and dancers from the National Opera and Ballet of Ukraine (Odessa).  Directed by Rolf Dekens, the film combines powerful choreography and stunning visuals with the iconic music, showcasing a performance full of energy and emotion.

With its enchanting setting and spellbinding score, the world’s most popular opera is as timeless as it is heartbreaking. Franco Zeffirelli’s picture-perfect production brings 19th-century Paris to the Met stage as Puccini’s young friends and lovers navigate the joy and struggle of bohemian life. Sopranos Juliana Grigoryan, Angel Blue, and Aleksandra Kurzak trade off as the feeble seamstress Mimì, opposite tenors Freddie De Tommaso, Stephen Costello, Adam Smith, and Long Long as the ardent poet Rodolfo.

Synopsis:

As the half-blood son of a Greek god, Percy Jackson has newly-discovered powers he can't control, a destiny he doesn't want, and a mythology textbook's worth of monsters on his trail. When Zeus's master lightning bolt is stolen and Percy becomes the prime suspect, he has to find and return the bolt to prove his innocence and prevent a war between the gods. But to succeed on his quest, Percy will have to do more than catch the thief. He must travel to the Underworld and back; solve the riddle of the Oracle, which warns him of betrayal by a friend; and come to terms with the father who abandoned him.

Duration - 1h 40 (No interval) 

After a highly successful run in 2024, Mike Bartlett’s Cock returns to the Théâtres de la Ville for another gripping encounter, dissecting love, identity, and the complexities of human desire with biting humour and raw emotion.

In the heart of London, Johns seemingly stable life with his boyfriend splinters when he suggests a break and unexpectedly falls for a woman. What follows is neither a simple love triangle nor a tale of sexual awakening, but rather an explosive examination of identity in a world that offers limitless possibilities yet traps us in the very labels we create. Torn between two lovers and struggling with opposing societal expectations, John’s crisis of choice spirals into a storm of passion, cowardice, and flaky commitment.

Director Anne Simons staging strips the theatrical experience to its essence. On Anouk Schiltz’s bare, tilting stage that physically embodies the shifting power dynamics and John’s indecisiveness, Bartletts razor-sharp, darkly comical dialogue flies like daggers in this emotional cockfight, culminating in a dramatic dinner party where personal, generational and societal expectations collide.

The Olivier Award-winning play crackles with wit and contemporary resonance and at a time when identity has never been more fluid, nor more fiercely contested, Bartlett’s masterpiece feels more vital than ever.

This production is part of a special programme in collaboration with Rosa Lëtzebuerg, to mark Luxembourg Pride, celebrating the LGBTQI+ community, diversity and love.
