Rafał Siwek takes the stage as Timur at the Royal Ballet and Opera

Tonight, Andrei Șerban's Turandot returns to the Royal Ballet and Opera, with Rafał Siwek singing Timur - the role which has earlier brought him a warm critical acclaim for ''noble and tragic demeanour'' (Opera Wire).

Under the baton of Daniel Oren, Rafał joins a stellar cast including Anna Netrebko in the title role. He returns to the Royal Opera House following an acclaimed debut as Vodník in Rusalka. Rafał performs on December 15, 18, 20, 23 and January 6 and 9.
