MASTER GARDENER (15) 2 June - 8 June: See website for dates and times. Narvel Roth (Joel Edgerton) is the meticulous horticulturist of Gracewood Gardens. He is as much devoted to tending the grounds of this beautiful and historic estate, as he is to pandering to his employer, the wealthy dowager Mrs Haverhill (Sigourney Weaver). However, chaos enters Narvel's spartan existence when Mrs Haverhill demands that he take on her wayward and troubled great-niece Maya (Quintessa Swindell) as a new apprentice, unlocking dark secrets from a buried violent past that threaten them all.

HYPNOTIC (15) 2 June - 8 June: See website for dates and times. Determined to find his missing daughter, Austin detective Danny Rourke finds himself spiralling down a rabbit hole investigating a series of reality-bending crimes where he will ultimately call into question his most basic assumptions about everything and everyone in his world. Aided by Diana Cruz, a gifted psychic, Rourke simultaneously pursues and is pursued by a lethal spectre - the one man he believes holds the key to finding the missing girl - only to discover more than he ever bargained for.

ROH LIVE 2022/23: IL TROVATORE (CERT TBC)

A devastating curse rises from the ashes in Verdi's monumental tale of superstition and rivalry.

Passions run high as Manrico and the Count di Luna compete for the affections of Leonora. Little do they know, Manrico's mother Azucena has been keeping a terrible secret for decades. Soon a curse from the past will rise up from the ashes with devastating implications for them all.

Starring Ludovic Tézier and Jamie Barton, Adele Thomas's energetic staging sets Verdi's tale in a Hieronymus Bosch-inspired universe of medieval superstition. Antonio Pappano conducts Verdi's dramatic score, which features the famous 'Anvil' chorus.
