Anastasia Running Length TBA Kenneth MacMillan’s poignant full-length ballet is a compelling exploration of identity in the turbulent wake of the Russian Revolution. A haunting, expressionist work of dual influences - classical tradition set to music of Tchaikovsky and Martinü in the first two acts, and German expressionism underscored by electronics com-posers Fritz Winckel and Rüdiger Rüfer in the final. Inspired by the true story of Anna Ander-son, a woman who believed herself to be Anas-tasia, youngest daughter of Tsar Nicholas II.

Cosi fan tutte 3 hr 15 min w/ one intermission Semyon Bychkov conducts a cast of young and up-and-coming talent, including American soprano Corinne Winters, in a new production of Mozart and Da Ponte’s opera on the nature of love. German director Jan Philipp Gloger makes his Royal Opera debut with this new production. He and his team of regular col-laborators take their inspiration from Mozart and Da Ponte’s alternative title for the opera: ‘The School for Lovers’.

The Entertainer Running time TBA Set against the backdrop of post-war Britain, John Osborne’s classic play conjures the seedy glamour of the old music halls for an explosive examination of public masks and private torment. Rob Ashford directs Kenneth Branagh as the unforgettable Archie Rice in the final production for Plays at the Garrick season.



Dec 18 Sun 12:30

War Horse 3 hr 14 min Based on Michael Morpurgo’s novel and adapted for the stage by Nick Stafford, WAR HORSE takes audiences on an extraordinary journey from the fields of rural Devon to the trenches of First World War France. Filled with stirring music and songs, this power-fully moving and imaginative drama is a show of phenomenal inventiveness. At its heart are astonishing life-size puppets by South Africa’s Handspring Puppet Company, who bring breathing, galloping, charging horses to thrilling life on stage.



Nov 5 Sat 12:30

The Audience 2 hr 35 min w/ one intermission An encore presentation of Helen Mirren’s celebrated performance as Queen Elizabeth II in this highly-acclaimed West End production. The play imagines a series of pivotal meetings between the queen and her prime ministers – from Churchill to Cameron – sometimes intimate, sometimes explosive. Directed by Stephen Daldry. Captured live on June 13, 2013 at London’s Gielgud Theatre.
