Three Ballets by Kenneth MacMillan: Elite Syncopations/The Judas Tree/Concerto

This performance brings together three contrasting pieces that highlight MacMillan's influence on The Royal Ballet's style and repertoire. Each ballet offers a unique exploration of themes, from the lively and humorous atmosphere of Elite Syncopations to the dramatic and contemporary narrative of The Judas Tree, and the emotional depth found in Concerto.

The Royal Opera House presents this program as a way to appreciate both MacMillan's artistry and the beauty of ballet. With music from Shostakovich and a diverse range of movements, the performance captures the essence of dance and its capacity for storytelling. The lineup features accomplished dancers such as Sarah Lamb, Steven McRae, Carlos Acosta, Edward Watson, and Marianela Núñez, each bringing their skills to this rich tapestry of movement and music.
