Un château extraordinaire, conçu au début des années 1900 par un architecte mystique, est situé dans les montagnes de la Suisse, au milieu d'une vallée enneigée. C'est le PALACE HOTEL, un bâtiment à l'atmosphère gothique et féerique où convergent chaque année, du monde entier, des invités riches, gâtés et remplis de vices. Un événement unique les a tous rassemblés. Le réveillon de 1999, la fin d'un millénaire entier et controversé.

À Rome en 1800, le peintre Mario Cavaradossi vient en aide à un prisonnier politique en fuite, Angelotti, ancien consul de la République, activement recherché par Scarpia, le redoutable chef de la police qui traque tous les partisans de la liberté.

Peter Grimes lives from fishing. Raw and recluse, he finds himself at odds with the local community who accuse him of brutality towards his young apprentices and blames him for the death of one of them. A few friends stand up for him - Ellen Orford, a widow whom he wants to marry, Balstrode a retired sea captain, and an apothecary Ned Keene - but Grimes remains a mysterious figure. What really happened to his missing apprentice, and was he involved?

After the destruction of Troy, the Trojan warrior Énée sets out on a journey to found a new dynasty. He meets Didon, Queen of Carthage, and falls in love. But will Énée's love for Didon prove stronger than his sense of duty? LES TROYENS ('The Trojans') is a tour de force of music that ranges from fiery military marches to intense choruses, passionate soliloquies – such as those of the prophetess Cassandre – and the lyrical love duets of Didon and Énée. It is Hector Berlioz's largest work and he wrote the libretto himself, drawing upon his intimate knowledge of Virgil's Aeneid. To the composer's disappointment, LES TROYENS was only performed once in full during his lifetime and was often presented in shortened form during the 20th century. The Royal Opera's production provides a rare chance to see this epic work in its entirety. David McVicar's staging is on an enormous scale, assembling one of the largest casts ever seen at Covent Garden.

Macbeth, the Thane of Glamis, receives a prophecy from a trio of witches that one day he will become King of Scotland. Consumed by ambition and spurred to action by his wife, Macbeth murders his king and takes the throne for himself.

The heroes fight in the seemingly idyllic setting of the Karkonosze Mountains, against which the international drug trade takes place. Who will support the nameless avenger and who will stand behind the demonic boss of the local mafia? It's only a seemingly simple matter.
