London Coliseum announces autumn lineup

From a Sam Smith residency to a Pulitzer Prize-winning opera, the London Coliseum has announced new programming for the venue this autumn. The lineup includes a partnership with English National Opera, alongside a blockbuster illusion show.

The London Coliseum and English National Opera have announced their autumn lineup, that includes two major opera productions, an illusion show and a concert residency with Grammy-winning artist Sam Smith.

The full lineup includes:

Now You See Me Live, until 6 September 2026

The London premiere of Now You See Me Live continues into September, bringing the magic of the blockbuster films to life on stage with an explosive mix of high-tech illusions, solo stunts and spectacle.

Sam Smith: To Be Free, from 8–19 September 2026

Multi-Platinum, Grammy, BRIT, Golden Globe and Oscar-winning artist Sam Smith takes over the Coliseum for an eight-night residency, as part of a global tour of To Be Free residencies. The London shows follow the recent release of Smith’s new single “My Guy” and the announcement of Smith’s fifth studio album, Hazel Eyes.

Angel’s Bone: English National Opera, from 16–31 October 2026

Following its UK premiere in Manchester this spring, ENO presents the Pulitzer Prize-winning opera Angel’s Bone in its West End transfer. The opera is directed by Kip Williams, who recently directed Dracula starring Cynthia Erivo at the Noël Coward Theatre. It follows Mr and Mrs X.E., a couple who discover two wounded angels in their garden, only for their apparent act of compassion to spiral out of control.

Tosca: English National Opera, from 30 October – 11 December 2026

A new, reimagined staging of Puccini’s Tosca takes the stage, set in a concert hall in an unidentified European state overtaken by civil conflict. This new production is directed by ENO Artistic Director Annilese Miskimmon and conducted by Ben Glassberg, starring Grammy Award-winning Axelle Fanyo in the title role.

The opera follows singer Floria Tosca as a secret meeting with her lover spirals into violence at the hands of corrupt police chief Scarpia, forcing Tosca to fight for her love, honour and life.
