Description:

The Legend of the Red Rose Source is the long-awaited new ballet choreographed by Christopher Wheeldon, who has created several masterpieces in collaboration with the Royal Ballet (premiering in June 2022). The famous creative team (Wheeldon, Talbot, Crawley) that has worked together since the smash hit "Alice in Wonderland" has reunited to create a full-act ballet adaptation of the epic magic realist novel by Mexican author Laura Esquivel. Dynamic dance interspersed with poetic shapes, eloquent music incorporating folk instruments, and stage design inspired by the Mexican climate and culture result in a new form of dramatic ballet that intermingles the culinary and the sensual. This is a must-see film for ballet fans, featuring a splendid cast led by the principals of the Royal Ballet of Great Britain. (C)RS
