- Summary:
- The Christopher Wheeldon Collection showcases three of Wheeldon's most acclaimed recent productions for The Royal Ballet, including Alice's Adventures in Wonderland (2018), The Winter's Tale (2014), and Like Water for Chocolate (2022). Lewis Carroll's ever-popular story provides the basis for Wheeldon's spectacular production of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. Bob Crowley's vivid sets and costumes take us down the rabbit hole into a colorful world full of curious creatures and captivating characters. Joby Talbot's original score is full of sweeping melodies and contemporary sounds. Lauren Cuthbertson stars as the inquisitive Alice, with Federico Bonelli as the charming Knave of Hearts, Steven McRae as the tap-dancing Mad Hatter, and Laura Morera as the formidable Queen of Hearts. This exuberant and engaging ballet is spectacular entertainment for the whole family. Wheeldon drew on the same music and design team to create an evocative reimagining of The Winter's Tale, Shakespeare's enduring story of jealousy, compassion, and forgiveness. In Like Water for Chocolate, the full Company, led by Francesca Hayward as Tita and Marcelino Sambé as Pedro, reshapes this captivating family saga into a richly layered and engrossing new ballet where passion, mystery, and magic combine.
