The Royal Ballet
The Royal Ballet's Cinema Season opens with Peter Wright's The Nutcracker on Thursday 9 December 2021. The ‘festive favourite for the whole family' was created for The Royal Ballet in 1984. Encore screenings will follow from Sunday 12 December 2021.
The ballet season also includes Kenneth MacMillan's Romeo and Juliet which will be relayed to cinemas for a Valentine's Day screening on Monday 14 February 2022, with encore screenings from Sunday 20 February 2022.
Liam Scarlett's Swan Lake will be screened on Thursday 19 May 2022, with encore screenings from Sunday 22 May 2022. A long run of the ballet was cut short last year due to the pandemic.
Kevin O'Hare, Director of The Royal Ballet, said:
The Royal Ballet is back after the most challenging 18 months in its history. We are thrilled to return to full production mode, bringing these beloved classics to both stage and screen again. It will be worth the wait.
The Royal Opera
The Royal Opera's Cinema Season opens with Puccini's Tosca with Paul Brown's designs. It will be broadcast to cinemas on Wednesday 15 December 2021, with encore screenings from Wednesday 19 January 2022.
A screening of Verdi's Rigoletto will be broadcast on Thursday 10 March 2022, celebrating 171 years since its premiere in 1851. This version will be Oliver Mears' first production since becoming Director of The Royal Opera in 2017 and will receive encore screenings from Sunday 13 March 2022.
The Royal Opera's Cinema Season concludes with Richard Eyre's production of Verdi's La Traviata, which will be screened live on Wednesday 13 April 2022, with encores from Sunday 17 April 2022.
Oliver Mears, Director of Opera, said:
This season – the first full ROH programme for two years – is quickly shaping up to be sensational, featuring some of the best-loved pieces in the repertory, performed by a dazzling cast of local and international stars. I'm delighted that audiences will once again be able to be experience the magic of these productions wherever they are.

Will any of these be streamed? I have zero chance kf seeing these. I expect to have to pay– that’s only fair.
I absolutely agree. My limited mobility makes it completely impossible to see these performances live or at a local cinema. The pandemic lockdown forced a lot of material on to the internet, and I have loved that. For goodness sake let’s not lose that now that ‘normality’ is returning. And of course I’d be prepared to pay for the privilege.
Vou aguardar a transmissão no Brasil na Cidade de São Paulo
I am thrilled that the ROH is back and hope that I will be able to see all the opera and ballet productions proposed in my nearest cinema. However, I’m not certain as to whether it will manage to keep open so would hope these could be streamed as well – would pay for such as I have done during all the past lockdowns. I am disappointed though that some of the new/lesser known ballets and operas aren’t included in the cinema season. Could these perhaps be streamed online if the ROH and the cinemas concerned are worried that there wouldn’t be a big enough response to make it worthwhile for the cinemas to show them – maybe an ideal opportunity for expanding the repertoire of the ROH being seen by more throughout the UK.
I have forwarded your very valid comments to the ROH.
