Beauty Mixed Programme APPROXIMATE TIMINGS This performance will last approximately 2 hours and 50 minutes including two intervals. ANEMOI 30 minutes INTERVAL 20 minutes DIVERTISSEMENTS 50 minutes THE ROYAL BALLET INTERVAL 25 minutes Director THE SLEEPING BEAUTY ACT III 45 minutes KEVIN O’HARE CBE Founder DAME NINETTE DE VALOIS OM CH DBE Founder Choreographer WELCOME SIR FREDERICK ASHTON OM CH CBE Following recently presented works by Crystal Pite, Kyle Founder Music Director Abraham, George Balanchine and Jerome Robbins, I am CONSTANT LAMBERT delighted to welcome you to our last mixed programme Prima Ballerina Assoluta celebrating the breadth of The Royal Ballet’s repertory and DAME MARGOT FONTEYN DBE the exceptional artistry of our performers. We have great pleasure in sharing ballet spanning the generations from Ninette de Valois’s third act of The Sleeping Beauty to a world premiere by one of our Company choreographers. Anemoi by First Soloist Valentino Zucchetti was created especially for the talents of the youngest members of The Royal Ballet. Inspired by Greek mythology where Anemoi gods rule over the winds, this world premiere ushers in brighter times with positive winds of change and the warm arrival of spring. A series of evocative duets follows from the two choreographers who shaped the early history of The Royal Ballet, Frederick Ashton and Kenneth MacMillan, alongside some of the most distinctive voices in dance today, Resident Choreographer Wayne McGregor, Artistic Associate Christopher Wheeldon and the internationally acclaimed Swedish choreographer Mats Ek. Ashton’s effervescent Voices of Spring and MacMillan’s BEAUTY poignant Winter Dreams ‘farewell’ pas de deux accompany McGregor’s Morgen, a touching moment of hope for better times as conveyed in Richard Strauss’s setting of John MIXED Henry Mackay’s poem, and Wheeldon’s heartfelt After the Rain pas de deux set to Arvo Pärt. New to The Royal Ballet is woman with water by Mats Ek, originally created for the Royal Swedish Ballet last year and inspired by Ek’s PROGRAMME 30 years as a choreographer. The opportunity to work with this creative force of the dance scene has been truly inspirational for the dancers. In tribute to our founder, the programme culminates with the third act of The Sleeping Beauty, a signature classic for The Royal Ballet and the production De Valois selected for the reopening of the Royal Opera House when we made our home here 75 years ago. The burst of colour and optimism in the final act of this revival complements not only an anniversary celebration but also the excited mood of our return to the stage in 2021. We are so pleased to have you with us today.

Created specially for The Royal Ballet in 2013, this stunning production tells the story of the bumbling knight Don Quixote and his ever-faithful squire Sancho Panza, and their efforts to help the young lovers Kitri and Basilio. This revival features exciting debuts from Lauren Cuthbertson, Yasmine Naghdi and Mayara Magri as Kitri and Matthew Ball, Alexander Campbell and Marcelino Sambé as Basilio.

  • The Royal Ballet Celebrates American Choreographers George Balanchine and Jerome Robbins
    27 May 2021 #OurHouseToYourHouse Fundraising for our future The Royal Ballet celebrates American choreographers George Balanchine and Jerome Robbins The Royal Ballet celebrates the rich history of American ballet in classic works by George Balanchine and Jerome Robbins, two choreographic giants of the 20th century. Balanchine and Robbins open’s on 4 June and is live streamed on 11 June at 7.30pm priced £16. The programme includes two classic works by Balanchine; Apollo and Tchaikovsky Pas De Deux. Apollo was created for Diaghilev’s Ballets Russes in 1928 and is regarded as a masterpiece of neoclassicism in its striking depiction of the young god of music and his three muses. Set to music by Igor Stravinsky the ballet was last performed by The Company in 2014. In 1960 Balanchine created Tchaikovsky Pas de Deux for New York City Ballet. The ballet is a showcase of technical challenges and bravura and is set to a long-lost movement from Tchaikovsky’s original score for Swan Lake. Jerome Robbins played a crucial role in the development of American ballet as a contemporary of Balanchine and as an influential figure in Broadway. His 1969 ballet Dances at a Gathering is an ode to pure dance, set to music by Chopin. While plotless, the intimacy of the ballet creates a powerful sense of community which promises to resonate powerfully with audiences and dancers again following its revival in 2020 just before lockdown. This programme features a host of debuts by Royal Ballet Principals Fumi Kaneko, Yasmine Naghdi, Matthew Ball, Cesar Corrales and Vadim Muntagirov and First Soloists Claire Calvert, Melissa Hamilton, Mayara Magri, Anna Rose O’Sullivan and Reece Clarke The event will be broadcast live via the Royal Opera House website on Friday 11 June at 7.30pm, priced at £16.00 per household and will be available to watch on demand until 10 July.
