The world premiere of a new full-length ballet created by Christopher Wheeldon for The Royal Ballet is a major highlight of the entire Season.
Alice's Adventures in Wonderland will bring a famous story and its equally famous characters to the ballet stage.
The Victorian childhood of Lewis Carroll's Alice and her encounters with extraordinary people, strange creatures and unusual events gives The Royal Ballet an entire new world to create, and also gives a great chance to see the whole Company on stage in new guises.
The music - the first new, full-length ballet score for The Royal Ballet for 20 years- is by Joby Talbot and will be conducted by Barry Wordsworth, Music Director of The Royal Ballet.
With a scenario by Nicholas Wright (his adaptations have included His Dark Materials at the NT), and designs by the internationally acclaimed Bob Crowley, this is a compelling creative team indeed.
Not surprisingly, the production will draw upon the full resources of the Company and the Royal Opera House in what is a major addition to the ballet repertory and a must-see event of the year.
