Visits to the Ballet - Autumn Season

Our previous visits to the ballet both with adults to see Obsidian Tear/The Invitation/Within The Golden Hour at the Royal Opera House, and with families to see My First Sleeping Beauty, were a success! We are now planning our next visits to the ballet in the autumn season for both adults and children.

We are going to the Royal Opera House to see the productions bellow. Prior to the ballets, I will offer a guided talk.

The Nutcracker

Royal Opera House

Monday 2 January 2017, 2.00pm (bank holiday)

This visit is open to all, adults, children and families, and any friends who would like to join us.

The Nutcracker is a wonderful ballet that everyone should see at least once in their lifetime. It's magical especially at this time of the year, and it's a great choice as first full-length production children see.

Wayne McGregor Triple Bill
Chroma / New Wayne McGregor (no name yet) / Carbon Life

Royal Opera House

Thursday 10 November 2016, 7.30pm - the premiere

This visit is open to adults, adult students and parents of children enrolled in our classes, and any friends that would like to join us. Please note this visit is not suitable for young children.

This ballet is a triple bill, which means a night with three different works, in this case of the choreographer Wayne McGregor. He is one of the most influential and avant-garde choreographers of today that is redefining the language of dance and ballet. This ballet includes the world premiere of his new work for the Royal Ballet.

Guided Talk and Visit

Prior to the ballet, we will meet at a local cafe (place and time to be confirmed close to the date) near the Royal Opera House and I will introduce you:

• the ballet we are about to see
• the choreographers, composers and other curiosities
• the Royal Opera House and its work

It is possible to book our talk at a restaurant of the Royal Opera House if all are willing to eat/consume minimum £10 per person. I recommend this option for convenience.

BOOKING

Advance booking opens on 15 June at 9.00am. I have ROH membership so I can book tickets for us in advance of the general public.

Please note as these are very sought-after productions - especially The Nutcracker - I strongly advise to book as early as possible on the booking opening day as the seats sell out very fast.

Please note I am only able to buy the tickets once the total amount is paid into bank account.
