The Royal Ballet: Quadruple Bill

About This Movie

So, The Royal Ballet's Quadruple Bill from 2015 is a real treat if you appreciate the blend of classic and contemporary ballet. You've got Carlos Acosta, who takes the lead in Carmen, bringing his own flair to Bizet's story of passion and betrayal. The atmosphere shifts with Liam Scarlett's Viscera—it's daring, almost visceral in its choreography, you know? Then there's Robbins' Afternoon of a Faun; it kind of drips with seduction, really lush and dreamy, set to Debussy. Balanchine’s piece rounds it out, showcasing Tchaikovsky’s music with that unmistakable elegance. The pacing varies—some pieces hit you hard, others linger a bit. Overall, it’s a fascinating collection of works that shows off different styles while maintaining the grace of ballet.
