英国皇家歌剧院最新现场直播录制的歌剧《唐·璜》，由奥利弗奖得主卡斯珀·霍尔腾（Kasper Holten）执导并首演于2014年，被《泰晤士报》誉为“情感饱满、引人入胜的一版制作”。奥利弗奖获奖舞美设计师埃斯·戴芙琳（Es Devlin）与她的老搭档多媒体设计师卢克·霍尔斯（Luke Halls）共同打造的舞台装置，为观众提供了一个洞察角色情感与思想的机会。在2019年最新影像版中，当今炙手可热的男低音埃尔文·施罗特（Erwin Schrott）继《浮士德》之后，再次出演“迷人的反派”！ 　　歌剧《唐·璜》是莫扎特在1787年创作的，这也是他和剧作家洛伦佐·达·彭特（Lorenzo da Ponte）继《费加罗的婚礼》后合作的第二部具有里程碑意义的作品。故事取材自西欧家喻户晓的传奇人物唐·璜，一个玩世不恭的情场高手。犯下杀戮罪行后，他的无所忌惮唤醒了来自地狱的黑暗力量……《唐·璜》将悲剧、喜剧甚至超自然元素完美融合，至今看来仍是一部极具开创性的歌剧作品。

First staged in St Petersburg in 1890, The Sleeping Beauty is the pinnacle of classical ballet: a perfect marriage of Petipa's choreography and Tchaikovsky's music and a glorious challenge for every dancer onstage. It is also The Royal Ballet's signature work. With Oliver Messel's gorgeous original designs wonderfully re-imagined by Peter Farmer, and additional choreography by Anthony Dowell, Christopher Wheeldon and Frederick Ashton, today's Sleeping Beauty not only captures the mood of the original but shows that this is very much a living work for The Royal Ballet, growing and changing with the Company while celebrating its past.

交际花曼侬在哥哥的掌控之下周旋于上流社交圈，直到她遇到了出身并不富裕的格里欧并坠入了爱河。二人怀抱热恋的激情私奔到了巴黎，但当富有的杰隆特为曼侬提供了作为情妇的奢侈生活时，她陷入两难的境地，并最终做出错误的选择…… 　　英国皇家芭蕾舞团前艺术总监、编舞大师肯尼斯·麦克米兰（Kenneth MacMillan）在1974年创作的三幕芭蕾《曼侬》是英国皇家芭蕾舞团的招牌之作，自问世至今，深受舞者和观众喜爱。改编自18世纪法国流行小说，芭蕾舞剧《曼侬》是对这一经典爱情悲剧的极致演绎。并没有选择普契尼为人熟知的歌剧《曼侬·莱斯科》作为配乐，麦克米兰的《曼侬》汇编了多首来自马斯内歌剧、舞剧、清唱剧的音乐，动人心扉的旋律与情感炽烈的舞蹈相得益彰，让《曼侬》成为麦克米兰最有力的戏剧芭蕾作品之一。 　　本版演出录制于2018年，由英国皇家芭蕾舞团明星首席萨拉·兰姆（Sarah Lamb）和瓦季姆·蒙塔吉诺夫（Vadim Muntagirov）搭档演绎这对激情四射的苦命爱侣。麦克米兰为整个舞团设计了壮观的群舞场面，希腊著名舞台设计师尼古拉斯•乔治亚迪斯（Nicholas Georgiadis）亦是为故事发生的两个世界——法国巴黎和美国新奥尔良，塑造了生动、复杂的社会景象。

Professor Sophie Scott will take us on a fascinating journey through one of the fundamentals of human and animal life: the unstoppable urge to communicate, in the 2017 CHRISTMAS LECTURES on communication. 　　Lecture One looks at how we gained the remarkable instrument that is the human voice. Sophie will explore how laughter provides a link to our animal past, how our voice box has changed the shape of our faces and why we sound the way we do. 　　In Lecture Two Sophie will explore the hidden code of communication, the more secret and sometimes more sinister side of human interaction – everything we say without opening our mouths – from contagious behaviours to the emotional clues in smell, and whether information wired directly into our brains is really a future we want. 　　And in Lecture Three, Sophie will examine one of the biggest puzzles in science – how and when humans first evolved language – revealing the huge amount of raw brain power and sensory skill needed to understand even a simple sentence and how we convey as much meaning through our tone, pace and pitch of voice as we say with our words. 　　Along the way we’ll feature a modern-day return to classic television moments from past Lectures such as Sir David Attenborough’s ‘The Language of Animals’ from 1973, and may even attempt a world record.
