Live, Video: Kritiken zu klassischen Konzerten, Opern, Ballett und Tanz finden | The Roundhouse

Aven, an event that merges circus, aerial movement, giant inflatables and club anthemic music.

Bold and colourful invocations of twentieth-century classics from Ensemble Modern and composer George Benjamin.

Three years after its première, Until the Lions returns to the Roundhouse, still an extraordinary theatrical experience: mesmerising, atmospheric, sensory and strangely sensual 

A programme of new music and 20th-century classics reflects on loss, war, inhumanity and redemption. 

A series of ill-advised staging choices leads to a disappointingly drab performance of Monteverdi's Homeric epic.

Wayne McGregor’s new dance work explores the relation between human bodies and technology as part of his curated installation +/- Human.

Akram Khan re-imagines a story from the Mahabharata by combining techniques of Indian classical dance and contemporary dance in a 360-degree setting.  

Former RSC Artistic Director Michael Boyd imparts a distinctly Shakespearean flavour to Monteverdi's L'Orfeo in this first collaboration between the Royal Opera and the Roundhouse.

BalletBoyz - theTalent emit versatility, stunning technique and velvety smooth movement material that stuns and enthrals - a beautiful triple bill of work.

Puffball is a brave and strangely beautiful part of CircusFest 2014 at London’s Roundhouse. The ensemble are a large group of young LGBTQ performers, exploring questions of identity and the experience of love, drawing on personal experiences. 

Compagnie La Meute will take all your assumptions about typical acrobatics, add a twist of idiosyncratic humour, a pinch of nail-biting tension and subvert them. At the Roundhouse as part of Circusfest 2014. 

Living in the city is alternately an experience of exhilarating interconnectedness and one of unbearable loneliness. On the good days, you share a sympathetic smile with your fellow commuters on a packed Tube train, you trade easy banter with the cashier at the Sainsbury’s checkout, and you feed off the buzz of the crowd as you head out for a night in Shoreditch.

There's classical music, and there's pop. You can throw as many violins into the bridge section as you like, and you can amplify the orchestra all you want as well. It's unfortunate, but a certain divide looks set to stay.

It isn't often you hear six members of the Estonian Television Girls Choir join forces with the Holst Singers and Imogen Heap to perform a live a cappella soundtrack to a 1920s French surrealist film about a libidinous priest.
