This triple bill of one act ballets at the Royal Opera House is a chance to catch brand new choreography from Wayne McGregor, alongside the first revival of Christopher Wheeldon's ‘Corybantic Games’ since its premiere in 2018, and ‘Anastasia’ Act III by Kenneth MacMillan.
This performance is offering quite a bit of variety – ideal if you just can't decide which ballet you want to see. McGregor's new contemporary work is created in collaboration with Icelandic composer Anna Thorvaldsdottir and set design by the late Cuban-born American artist Carmen Herrera. Meanwhile, ‘Corybantic Games’ will showcase Wheeldon's exhilirating work, inspired by Leonard Bernstein's score ‘Serenade, after Plato: Symposium’. The final piece, ‘Anastasia’ Act III, explores the true story of Anna Anderson who believed she was the Grand Duchess Anastasia Romanov. The role of Anastasia is shared by Royal Ballet principals Natalia Osipova and Laura Morera.
This show is guaranteed to have high-fashion moments too, as in the first two acts costumes are designed by Burberry and Erdem respectively.
