After a run at the Manchester International Festival, A Single Man, “a vital portrait of queer love and loss,” is currently performing at the Linbury Theatre at the Royal Opera & Ballet. The show, choreographed by Jonathan Watkins, is a reimagining of the novel by Christopher Isherwood, which follows the story of George, a man grieving the loss of his partner, Jim. Watkins is joined by singer-songwriter John Grant and composer Jasmin Kent Rodgman, who have contributed the music of the work.
Following the world premiere at Manchester International Festival earlier this summer, A Single Man will receive its London premiere this September, opening the Royal Ballet and Opera's 2025/26 Season in the Linbury Theatre.
