Mixed: Birthday Offering - A Month in the Country - Les Noces description
Birthday Offering
Rather than following a specific narrative, a series of solos, duets and ensemble pieces celebrate the dancers' distinctive qualities and the unique heritage of The Royal Ballet.
A Month in the Country
The arrival of Belyaev, a young tutor, in the country home of a Russian family sends ripples through the household. For Natalya, an unfulfilled but passionate housewife, it stirs up powerful emotions.
Les Noces
A young bride and groom, attended by their families and members of the community, perform a series of rituals in preparation for their wedding.
These works are performed together as a mixed programme, the performance lasts about 2 hours 45 minutes, including two intervals.
