Così fan tutte by Mozart What does love teach you? Welsh National Opera takes you back to school with a brand-new production of Mozart’s comic opera Così fan tutte aka The School for Lovers directed by Max Hoehn (The Consul). Set in the early 1970s, four sixth formers discover that falling in love can be incredible, awkward, and complicated in this coming-of-age tale. The students are given a valuable lesson in love, life and liberty when their teacher involves them in a secret experiment. Played out to some of Mozart’s most ravishing music, they are challenged to re-think their own identities and relationships with each other as they are confronted with a series of amusing scenarios designed to deceive. Sung in Italian, with surtitles in English.

All aboard HMS Pinafore for this hilarious revival of Gilbert & Sullivan’s nautical love triangle, where the comic opera duo navigate the tricky waters of class, rank, patriotism and power, in their signature slapstick style. Join Captain Corcoran and his daughter Josephine as she faces a battle between duty and love on the high seas. While her father makes plans for her to tie the knot with the suitably ranked First Lord of the Admiralty, Josephine has romantic ideas of her own. And after falling for lowly deckhand Ralph, the loved-up pair make plans to elope. That is, until a surprise revelation rocks the boat. This laugh-out-loud opera is set aboard the Royal Navy warship HMS Pinafore. And while the ship remains anchored in Portsmouth, it didn’t stop the opera reaching international shores and becoming the first of Gilbert & Sullivan’s operas to find global success. Following its premiere in 2021, this Cal McCrystal production was nominated for an Olivier Award for Set and Costume Design in the Outstanding Achievement in Opera category. With its fast pace, topical humour and quintessential Britishness, the score includes some of the most popular operatic music in the world, enjoyed both on stage and featuring in popular TV shows like The Simpsons and The West Wing. If quick-fire humour floats your boat, we think you’ll love HMS Pinafore. BSL SIGNED: Saturday, 31st January, 3:00pm

English National Ballet brings it to the grand stage of the London Coliseum in January 2026. As the curtain rises, dancers in shadow push against a forbidding wall. From that moment on, Akram Khan’s Giselle stuns with powerful images. This bold re-imagining of the great romantic classic Giselle isn’t just something you watch: it’s something you feel – with every heartbreaking step of the story. Giselle is part of a community of migrant workers, the Outcasts. A huge wall separates them from the factory Landlords, who have long exploited them. Her lover, Albrecht, joins Giselle’s group – but unknown to her, is in fact a Landlord himself. When the truth is revealed, Giselle’s tragic fate is sealed. She joins the Wilis – the ghosts of women who seek retribution on those who have wronged them. Can Giselle’s love save Albrecht from their vengeance? Akram Khan’s mesmerising choreography blends ballet with classical Indian dance kathak and contemporary movement, harnessing groups of dancers to dial up the intensity in every scene. Atmospheric lighting by Mark Henderson and a towering set by Academy Award-winner Tim Yip (Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon) conjure up a condemned factory and the vengeful ghosts that appear in its shadows. The ominous score by Vincenzo Lamagna, adapted from the original by Adolphe Adam, is performed live by English National Ballet Philharmonic. Layered with a rumbling soundscape, it weaves and pulsates around the theatre. Whether seeing Giselle for the first time or making a return visit… this is an experience you won’t forget. ASSISTED PERFORMANCES: Audio Described, 17 Jan, 2:30pm (touch tour at 12.30pm)
