Royal Ballet World Premieres

The Royal Ballet has announced four world premieres of new works from October 2010 into 2011.

In October this year the company will present a new work by Kim Brandstrup (Rushes and The Goldberg Project).

In February 2011 will see the first full-length ballet to be commissioned by the company for fifteen years, Alice in Wonderland, which will be choreographed by Christopher Wheeldon and co-produced by the National Ballet of Canada, with a scenario by playwright Nicholas Wright and designs by Bob Crowley.

Wayne McGregor's follow-up to Limen will be performed along with Wheeldon’s DGV: Danse À Grande Vitesse and Balanchine’s Ballo Della Regina.

Finally, in the Linbury Studio in June, Aletta Collins will choreograph a production of Jean Cocteau’s 1932 play Duet For One, featuring a dancer, actor and a new score by composer and singer Scott Walker. It will share the programme with Poulenc’s La Voix Humaine, receiving its Royal Opera House premiere.

The 2010-2011 season also includes Ashton's Sylvia and Cinderella, Peter Wright’s Giselle, Anthony McDowell’s Swan Lake and Kenneth MacMillan’s Manon.
