Knock yourself out today because the calories don’t count.

Here’s some pud-spiration from Robert Carsen’s production of Verdi’s masterful comic opera Falstaff, based on Shakespeare's witty glutton Sir John Falstaff.

Happy Birthday Audrey Hepburn!

Some #WednesdayWisdom from the iconic actress Audrey Hepburn. Hepburn’s ballet training became instrumental to her superstar success when she moved to London in 1948 on a ballet scholarship with Ballet Rambert.

Shortly afterwards, she landed her first major supporting role in The Secret People where she played a prodigious ballerina. #WednesdayWisdom

The Power of the Female

Katie Mitchell’s new production for the Royal Opera is a feminist take on Donizetti’s Lucia di Lammermoor.

In the opera, Enrico forces his sister Lucia to marry advantageously in order to save the ailing Lammermoor fortune. He is horrified to learn she has actually fallen in love with his sworn enemy, Edgardo.

Watch why it was important for her to put the focus on the female characters.
