Since 2011 CHROMA has premiered nine works and performed five revivals with the Royal Opera and Royal Ballet companies, at the Linbury Studio Theatre, in the West End and at the Lyric Hammersmith. The Royal Opera also hosted the 2019 Royal Philharmonic Society opera workshops for Women Conductors, which CHROMA was involved in for the contemporary sessions using George Benjamin’s IntoThe Little Hill as material, and led by Jessica Cottis. In 2020, between lockdowns CHROMA recorded the score for the hyper-reality opera Current, Rising installed in the Linbury Theatre during May and June 2021.
