Woolf Works (The Royal Ballet) ROH Live

9 FEBRUARY 2026

7.15pm – 10.15pm

Live Broadcast: Part of our 2025/26 Live Arts Series, streamed simultaneously from the Royal Opera House to our cinema screen and in full surround sound.

Virginia Woolf defied literary conventions to depict rich inner worlds – her heightened, startling and poignant reality. Resident Choreographer Wayne McGregor leads a luminous artistic team to evoke Woolf’s signature stream of consciousness writing style in this immense work that rejects traditional narrative structures.

Woolf Works is a collage of themes from Mrs Dalloway, Orlando, The Waves and Woolf’s other writings. Created in 2015 for The Royal Ballet, this Olivier-award winning ballet triptych captures the heart of Woolf’s uniquely artistic spirit.
