Royal Ballet & Opera 2025–26 Review: Jakub Hrůša and Friends in Concert

https://operawire.com/royal-ballet-opera-2025-26-review-jakub-hrusa-and-friends-in-concert/

(Photo credit: Tristram Kenton) Profane escapes scale heights heretical in offbeat tales. These contests of one-upmanship with God breed killers; lesser sinners stray with strangers. Dvořák’s unnamed “Spectre’s Bride” – the leading lady of his 1885 cantata – steals away with a dead demon.
