The Royal Ballet is thrilled to announce that it will perform Kenneth MacMillan's timeless classic Romeo and Juliet at The O2 in June 2011. This will be the first time the world-renowned ballet company has performed in a UK arena and promises to be a ballet spectacle to remember. A stellar cast of Royal Ballet dancers including Carlos Acosta, Tamara Rojo, Mara Galeazzi, Edward Watson, Alina Cojocaru and Johan Kobborg will dance the roles of the famous star-crossed lovers for four shows, with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by the Royal Ballet Music Director, Barry Wordsworth. The Royal Ballet, usually based at the Royal Opera House in London's Covent Garden, will move lock, stock and barrel into the arena for these special performances. Bringing you even closer to the action, the performances will feature a filmed introduction to each Act, on giant, live-relay screens, as well as the virtuoso performances from one of finest ballet companies in the world.

Placido Domingo And Angela Gheorghiu - O2 ( The O2 Arena ) - Musical

Two of the opera world's most celebrated names will appear in concert together for the first time in the UK next summer, as Angela Gheorghiu and Placido Domingo join forces for a spectacular celebration of song. Placido Domingo earned his place in opera's history books with a stellar career spanning some 50 years. As an artist in his own right and as a member of The Three Tenors, he became one of the most revered names in classical music, winning countless accolades including nine Grammy Awards. He continues to cement his reputation to this day to audiences worldwide, both as an outstanding singer and more recently as a conductor. Right from the beginning, Romanian soprano Angela Gheorghiu's calling as a global superstar was assured, and she has established herself as a brilliantly agile vocalist whose performances command attention from the very first note, with an enviable roll-call of lead roles in appearances at the world's major opera venues and a string of best-selling recordings. World-renowned for their individual talents, the combination of Gheorghiu and Domingo's voices onstage will be an event not to be missed.
