4.48 Psychosis announced at Royal Opera House

My first opera 4.48 Psychosis celebrates its tenth anniversary in 2026, and to mark that, the Royal Ballet & Opera is reviving the original production, directed by Ted Huffman. The opera was a great success at its world premiere in 2016, which took place off-site at the Lyric Theatre Hammersmith, because the Linbury Theatre was closed for renovation. The show was revived by the Royal Oprea in 2018, again in the Lyric Hammersmith. This revival will be the first time that the show will be brought ‘home’ to the Royal Opera House, in the new Linbury Theatre.

The cast, ensemble and conductor for the production are yet to be announced. Performances from 17th–25th October 2026. More information here.
