Kenneth MacMillan's Mayerling makes a darkly compelling night at Covent Garden

Hanna Weibye, 26th April

When the cast sheet warns the audience that there will be gunshots in each act, you know you are not at The Nutcracker. Kenneth MacMillan’s 1978 ballet Mayerling is famously about sex, obsession, madness and death – a cocktail that apparently sells enough tickets to ensure its regular revival at the Royal Opera House.
