The Royal Opera House has announced its performance lineup for the 2024/2025 season. The lineup is as follows: seven new productions, including the world premiere of a new work by Mark-Anthony Turnage.
At the Royal Opera House, music director Antonio Pappano will retire at the end of the 2023/2024 season after 23 years in the position, and Jakub Hrůša will assume the position of music director beginning with the 2025/2026 season.
