The Royal Ballet: The Winter's Tale

Shakespeare’s tale of love and loss becomes compelling drama in choreographer Christopher Wheeldon’s ballet adaptation, which has been acclaimed for its intelligent, distinctive and emotional story, told through exquisite dance.

Music by Joby Talbot and powerful designs by Bob Crowley.

A marriage disintegrates through consuming jealousy, the abandonment of a child and a seemingly hopeless love. And yet, through remorse and regret, and after a seemingly miraculous return to life, the ending is one of forgiveness and reconciliation.
