Christopher Wheeldon’s The Winter’s Tale for the National Ballet of Canada succeeds admirably as a narrative ballet.

A gracious US première of The Winter's Tale by the National Ballet of Canada. 

Wheeldon's Winter's Tale for The National Ballet of Canada is a soaring success.

On its return to London after 26 years of absence, the National Ballet of Canada has presented its brand new version of the much-loved tragedy Romeo and Juliet. The company having performed John Cranko’s interpretation since 1964, an entirely new production was commissioned to acclaimed choreographer Alexei Ratmansky to mark the 60th anniversary of the company in 2011.
