Live, Video: Find classical music concert, opera, ballet and dance reviews | Like Water for Chocolate

The Royal Ballet’s season opener, Christopher Wheeldon’s Like Water for Chocolate, is visually tremendous, very well danced but the many principal and soloist characters are difficult to keep up with.

Wheeldon lacks the imagination to take this story beyond that of a well-crafted adaptation of a beloved movie.

Laura Esquivel’s extraordinary novel of recipes, romances and home remedies brought to life in Christopher Wheeldon and Joby Talbot's new creation.
