Work: Mayerling

Paris Opera Ballet has triumphantly revived Kenneth MacMillan’s Mayerling, two years after its company premiere in 2022. 

Sir Kenneth MacMillan’s Habsburg history lesson comes with a cast list as long as your arm, but the plots and intrigues ensure a gripping evening at the ballet.

Sir Kenneth MacMillan's masterpiece is reimagined on a smaller scale, distilling the ballet into the essence of the personal relationships that led to the tragic events at Mayerling.
