La Traviata
2026-01-18 14:00 - 18:00 (Europe/London) | Pamoja Hall, The Space Sevenoaks School, Sevenoaks, Kent, TN13 1HU, United Kingdom
At one of her lavish parties, celebrated Parisan courtesan Violetta is introduced to Alfredo Germont. The two fall madly in love, and though hesitant to leave behind her life of luxury and freedom, Violetta follows her heart. But the young couple’s happiness is short-lived, as the harsh realities of life soon come knocking.
As intimate as it is sumptuous, La Traviata features some of opera’s most famous melodies, and is a star vehicle for its leading soprano role sung by Ermonela Jaho. In director Richard Eyre’s world of seductive grandeur, the tender and devastating beauty at the centre of Verdi’s opera shines bright.

Fugue Fest
2026-02-06 19:00 - 21:00 | Pamoja Hall, The Space Sevenoaks School, Sevenoaks, Kent, TN13 1HU, United Kingdom
This concert is a celebration of one of music history’s most intricate and challenging compositional forms in all its guises, from solemn mastery to playful parody. The programme traces the evolution of the fugue from the prototypes in the hands of Frescobaldi to the crowning achievements in the hands of J. S. Bach, before proceeding to Clara Schumann’s and Shostakovich’s attempts at homage to this venerable genre.
In the second half, Fugue Fest loosens its collar and laughs at itself, as the fugue’s academic rigour is turned on its head by musical humourists Erik Satie and Peter Schickele (aka P. D. Q. Bach). Their witty takes expose the absurdities and joys lurking beneath contrapuntal perfection.
The evening culminates in Ernst Toch’s Geographical Fugue for spoken chorus, which will unite the performers in a joyous, collective tribute to the fugue’s astonishing endurance and versatility.

When a small town mistakes a lowly civil servant for a powerful inspector, chaos and comic deception ensue, exposing the vanity and vice of officials desperate to cover their tracks.

Resident Choreographer Wayne McGregor leads a luminous artistic team to evoke Woolf’s signature stream of consciousness writing style in this immense work that rejects traditional narrative structures.
Woolf Works is a collage of themes from Mrs Dalloway, Orlando, The Waves and Woolf’s other writings. Created in 2015 for The Royal Ballet, this Olivier-award winning ballet triptych captures the heart of Woolf’s uniquely artistic spirit.

For 60 years, Queen Elizabeth II met with each of her 12 prime ministers in a private weekly meeting. This meeting is known as The Audience. From Winston Churchill to Margaret Thatcher and David Cameron, the Queen advised her prime ministers on matters both public and personal. Through these private audiences, we see glimpses of the woman behind the crown and witness the moments that shaped a monarch.
Peter Morgan’s Netflix phenomenon The Crown was based on this hit play that was captured live from London’s West End in 2013 and went on to become one of the most-watched NT Live productions.

Wracked with guilt, Albrecht visits Giselle’s grave, where he must face the Wilis – and Giselle’s ghost.
Peter Wright’s 1985 production of this quintessential Romantic ballet is a classic of The Royal Ballet repertory. Set to Adolphe Adam’s evocative score and with atmospheric designs by John Macfarlane, Giselle conjures up the earthly and otherworldly realms in a tale of love, betrayal and redemption.
