Shostakovich’s The Nose, new to The Royal Opera repertory, continues the line of Royal Opera programming focussing on early 20th-century works, which included Król Roger and Rise and Fall of the City of Mahagonny in the 2014/15 Season and Oedipe in the 2015/16 Season. There are seven new productions at the Royal Opera House ( Norma, Così fan tutte, The Nose, Der Rosenkavalier, Die Meistersinger von Nürnberg, The Exterminating Angel, and Otello) with two directors new to Covent Garden (Jan Philipp Gloger and Barrie Kosky), as well as new productions from Àlex Ollé, Robert Carsen, Kasper Holten, Tom Cairns and Keith Warner. The Season includes three other premieres outside the Royal Opera House in collaboration with a range of partners, co-producers and co-commissioners.

The Royal Opera presents the UK premiere of Thomas Adès’s new opera, The Exterminating Angel, which opens at Salzburg Festival in July 2016 and is a co-commission and co-production with Salzburg Festival, the Metropolitan Opera, New York, and the Royal Danish Opera, Copenhagen.
