THE ROYAL BALLET
BALLET TO BROADWAY: WHEELDON WORKS
Sensuous contemporary ballet meets the energy of musical theatre in four distinctive short works showing the remarkable choreographic range of The Royal Ballet's Artistic Associate, Christopher Wheeldon.
Fool's Paradise
Luminescent and shimmering, Fool’s Paradise marked the first of Wheeldon’s many collaborations with composer Joby Talbot. It was created in 2007 for Wheeldon’s own company, Morphoses, and first performed in 2012 by The Royal Ballet.
The Two Of Us
The wistful songs of Joni Mitchell set the scene for the UK premiere of The Two of Us, a duet of deep intimacy and yearning. Created in 2020 for the Fall for Dance Festival in New York.
Us (Duet)
Us is a tender duet danced by two men. It was created in 2017 for BalletBoyz and is set to Keaten Henson’s music.
An American in Paris (Ballet)
The Royal Ballet celebrates Wheeldon’s extraordinary success in musical theatre by performing the ballet scene from his Tony Award-winning musical An American in Paris.
