Resident Choreographer Wayne McGregor’s new work The Dante Project will be available to stream via the Royal Opera House's online service from 20 December, following The Royal Ballet’s Giselle, on-demand from 3 December.

The Dante Project features a score by composer-conductor Thomas Adès, designs by artist Tacita Dean, lighting design by Lucy Carter and Simon Bennison and dramaturgy by Uzma Hameed. The three-act ballet, inspired by Dante Alighieri’s Divine Comedy, received its world première at the Royal Opera House in October, and is McGregor’s first full-length ballet since Woolf Works (2015).

The first, Peter Wright’s production of Giselle went online from 3 December, danced by a cast that includes Principal Yasmine Naghdi in the title role, Principal Matthew Ball as Albrecht and Principal Marianela Nuñez as Myrtha.
