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

This wonderful ballet has never looked better at The Royal, especially in the remarkable performance of Natalia Osipova.

Francesca Hayward is a captivating Juliet as Sir Kenneth MacMillan's hardy perennial is back for another long run at the Royal Opera House. 

The Firebird/A Month in the Country/Symphony in C is an effective and enjoyable programme to close The Royal Ballet's season.

Was she – or wasn’t she – the Grand Duchess Anastasia, youngest daughter of Russia's last tsar who had survived the massacre of her family in 1917? Natalia Osipova made you believe she was. 

The Royal Ballet marks the centennary of the First Wolrd War with a reflective, and commemorative programme. With works by Branstrup and Wheeldon, as well as a Scarlett world première.

The penultimate programme of The Royal Ballet’s season takes the audience on a journey, from a joyous celebration with seven imperially dressed ballerinas, to a summer dacha filled with tense emotions, and finally back in time to the ceremonial rites of a Russian peasant wedding.
