The Royal Ballet

A mixed programme of exhilarating contrasts, from a dark Victorian melodrama to a celebration of hi-tech modernity.

Serenade:
The music of Tchaikovsky is partnered with sublime choreography in one of Balanchine’s earliest and best-loved works.

Sweet Violets:
Murder, sexuality and art are the potent themes of Liam Scarlett’s ballet, inspired by Walter Sickert’s paintings.

DGV: Danse à grande vitesse:
Christopher Wheeldon channels the hurtling momentum of Michael Nyman’s music in choreography of thrilling propulsion.
