Synopsis

The Royal Ballet - THE WINTER’S TALE

A co-production between The Royal Ballet and the National Ballet of Canada.

The ballet lasts approximately 200 minutes, including two intervals.

King Leontes of Sicilia is crippled with an all-consuming jealousy when his friend, King Polixenes of Bohemia, stays with him and his wife Hermione. What follows is a tale where a marriage is destroyed, a child is abandoned and all hope is seemingly lost for two lovers.

Celebrating its 10th anniversary this Season, The Winter's Tale is an award-winning modern ballet classic, packed with emotional turmoil heightened by Joby Talbot’s compelling score and Bob Crowley’s atmospheric designs.
