The Winter's Tale (The Royal Ballet)
The Winter's Tale (The Royal Ballet)
The world premiere of a new full-length ballet based on Shakespeare’s enduring tale of love, loss and reconciliation.
The story follows the destruction of a marriage through consuming jealousy, the abandonment of a child and a seemingly hopeless love. Yet, through remorse and regret – and after a statue comes miraculously to life – the ending is one of forgiveness and reconciliation. Wheeldon continues his highly successful collaboration with designer Bob Crowley and composer Joby Talbot, the team behind Alice, in one of the highlights of The Royal Ballet Season.
