May 24 1:00 pm Local Time - Romeo And Juliet (Ballet)
London's Royal Ballet at Covent Garden
Duration: 195 min (including intermission)


The Royal Ballet’s production of Romeo and Juliet is a major event with the much anticipated pairing of extraordinary prima ballerina Tamara Rojo and superstar Carlos Acosta in the title roles.

Kenneth MacMillan’s great interpretation of Shakespeare’s enduring tragedy is one of the most popular works in The Royal Ballet repertory – and one of the greatest examples of 20th-century choreography. The setting is Renaissance Verona, where a chance meeting ignites a profound love between Romeo and Juliet, bringing with it first hope of uniting their families in peace, then misunderstanding, and finally tragedy and death. Prokofiev’s music is an instantly recognizable classic of the modern repertory, here complemented by choreography of beauty and touching fluidity.

“Tamara Rojo must be the best Royal Ballet Juliet for a quarter century or more. Carlos Acosta is on equally fine form. A great performance!” – John Percival, The Stage






June 7 1:00 pm Local Time - Tales of Beatrix Potter (Ballet)
London's Royal Ballet at Covent Garden
Duration: 110 min (including intermission)


A special performance for children of all ages or for those who are just young at heart! London's Royal Ballet Tales of Beatrix Potter brings the characters from her famous stories alive.

In 1971, Frederick Ashton choreographed Tales of Beatrix Potter for film. Two decades later, Anthony Dowell staged Ashton's choreography for The Royal Ballet, giving the company one of its more charming offerings. The production's ingenious use of scale when designing the sets and their spectacular costumes and masks quickly draws audiences in to the wondrous world of Peter Rabbit, Jeremy Fisher and Jemima Puddleduck.

Only in The Royal Ballet's Tales of Beatrix Potter will you behold the delightful dancing naughty mice, see Pigling Bland and Pig-Wig perform a wonderful pig pas de deux, witness an overly excited Squirrel Nutkin leap, twirl and whirl around the stage and cheer as all of the much loved characters join in the glorious grand finale.

"Enchanting. If you want to connect with your inner child - or, even better, if you have a youngster in tow - then this is the show for you. How can you resist?" - Debra Craine, The Times






June 21 1:00 pm Local Time - The Sleeping Beauty (Ballet)
London's Royal Ballet at Covent Garden
Duration: 125 min (including intermission)


Britain's Royal Ballet brings to the screen one of ballets most loved classics. The Sleeping Beauty combines, in a single work, all the charms and virtuosity that ballet has to offer.

This famous staging was created for The Royal Ballet in 1946, from the original 1890 Marius Petipa production in St. Petersburg. It was revived for the 75th anniversary celebrations of The Royal Ballet in 2006.

The Sleeping Beauty is led by two of The Royal Ballet's finest dancers; the beautiful Alina Cojocura stars as Princess Aurora and the dark and handsome Federico Bonelli stars as Prince Florimund. Tchaikovsky's glorious score for this beautiful ballet is played by the Orchestra of the Royal Opera House in London.

This ballet is a great showcase for Company's talents and a living milestone in its history, this Sleeping Beauty's style and visual splendour are unique to The Royal Ballet.

"The year's big ballet story is The Sleeping Beauty." - The Guardian
