ROH BALLET LIVE: Within The Golden Hour/New Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui/Flight Pattern (195 mins)
Thursday, May 16, 7:15pm
The contemporary face of The Royal Ballet is shown in works from three of today’s leading choreographers. Christopher Wheeldon’s Within the Golden Hour is based around seven couples separating and intermingling, to music by Vivaldi and Bosso and lit with rich colours suggested by sunset. Crystal Pite’s Flight Pattern, revived for the first time, uses a large dance ensemble and Górecki’s familiar music from his Symphony of Sorrowful Songs for a poignant and passionate reflection on migration. Between them, a new work by Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui, created on The Royal Ballet has its premiere to bring the contemporary truly up-to-date. The cast includes Beatriz Stix-Brunell, Lauren Cuthbertson, Sarah Lamb, Vadim Muntagirov, Ryoichi Hirano and Steven McRae.

ROH LIVE BALLET: ROMEO AND JULIET (2019)
Tuesday, June 11, 7:15pm
Shakespeare’s enduring love story is known the world over. Since its 1965 premiere with The Royal Ballet, Kenneth MacMillan’s Romeo and Juliet has become a modern ballet classic. The choreography captures the emotions of the young couple as they fall in love, despite the barriers that finally bring about the story’s tragic end. Each revival gives opportunities for new dancers to interpret the doomed lovers. The whole company brings the colour and action of Renaissance Verona, where a busy market all too quickly bursts into sword fighting, and a family feud leads to tragedy for both the Montagues and Capulets. Starring Yasmine Naghdi as Juliet and Matthew Bourne as Romeo.
