Nabucco, La donna del lago and Gloriana will be broadcast by satellite from the Royal Opera House in Covent Garden to more than 200 participating cinemas around the country.

Plácido Domingo, one of the most celebrated talents of our time, is making a major role debut in Nabucco, which can be seen at cinemas on April 29.

On May 27, La donna del lago will be broadcast live. Based on Sir Walter Scott’s poem The Lady of the Lake, this is the most fully Romantic of Rossini’s Italian operas.

Broadcast live on June 24, the season will finish with the important new staging of Benjamin Britten’s Gloriana, marking three major anniversaries: 60 years since the Queen’s Coronation, 60 years since the opera’s premiere at the Royal Opera House, and the centenary of Britten’s birth.

How to claim

Tickets are subject to availability. We strongly recommend contacting your chosen cinema before visiting to check availability. See newspaper for full details, terms and conditions.

Nabucco: Monday, April 29, 2013 (delayed live)

This is a rare chance to see a genre-defining masterpiece containing some of the greatest choral music ever written, along with some wonderful arias and ensembles. This new production of Nabucco is unmissable.

Domingo takes another thrilling step into the baritone repertory following his triumphs as Simon Boccanegra, as he sings the title role of Nabucco for the first time. He is joined by an exciting young cast including Ukrainian soprano Liudmyla Monastyrska (Lady Macbeth in Macbeth for The Royal Opera, 2011) as the power-hungry priestess Abigaille.

Acclaimed theatre and opera director Daniele Abbado makes his Royal Opera debut directing this co-production with La Scala, Milan.

The plot is based on the biblical story of King Nebuchadnezzar (Nabucco), and focuses on his imprisonment of the Hebrews, his struggle against his unscrupulous daughter, Abigaille, his divine punishment and final salvation.

Verdi’s rich score offers melody, power and raw drama on a scale that does full justice to the opera’s epic themes of nationhood, faith, love and redemption and calls upon the full might of the Orchestra of the Royal Opera House and Royal Opera Chorus.

La Donna del Lago: Monday, May 27, 2013

The expansive ensembles and shimmering orchestration of this masterpiece generate an opulence seldom heard in Rossini’s comic works.

In Renaissance Scotland, King James V travels to the tribal Highlands, where he falls in love with Elena – the lady of the lake. Her father is fighting with the clans against the King’s rule and has promised Elena’s hand in marriage to a clan leader, Rodrigo. Meanwhile Elena herself is in love with the young romantic hero Malcolm.

The plot inspires some truly galvanizing scenes, most memorably the stunning confrontation between the tenors Uberto (James V in disguise) and Rodrigo.

John Fulljames’s staging evokes the exoticized mystery of Rossini’s Romantic landscape, and provides an insight into this rich but under-explored seam of operatic gold.

In the hands of three of the leading bel canto voices of our time, Juan Diego Flórez (Count Almaviva in The Royal Opera’s Il barbiere di Siviglia, Tonio in The Royal Opera’s La Fille du régiment), Joyce DiDonato (who sang the title role in Cendrillon with The Royal Opera last season), and Colin Lee (Tonio in the 2012 revival of La Fille du régiment), La donna del lago promises to be a musical revelation.

Gloriana: Monday, June 24, 2013

In this remarkable work, Benjamin Britten draws a portrait of the public and private faces of Elizabeth I, creating a brilliant depiction of the Tudor court and the tension between affairs of state and affairs of the heart.

Focusing on Elizabeth’s relationship with the young Earl of Essex, Gloriana captures the dichotomy between the public image of the Virgin Queen and her seething personal feelings – a familiar tension in these days of celebrity-worship and media scrutiny.

Award-winning director Richard Jones (Il Trittico, Anna Nicole) directs a Gloriana for our time, framing the depiction of the 16th-century Queen in a setting that re-creates the excitement of our own Queen’s Jubilee year. A superlative British cast brings to life this under-appreciated gem, a unique tribute both to the nation’s monarch and to its greatest opera composer.

Terms and conditions: 1. The voucher will be printed in The Daily Telegraph on Saturday, April 13, 2013 and will need to be presented at the box office of a participating cinema in order to receive two standard tickets for the price of one to see Nabucco, La donna del lago or Gloriana. 2.
