The Royal Ballet: Like Water for Chocolate (ROH Live)

January 19, 2023 @ 7:15 pm - 10:00 pm UTC+0

19 JANUARY 2023

7.15pm. -10.00pm

Encore Broadcast of ROH Ballet recorded at the Royal Opera House on 9 June 2022: Part of our 2022/23 Live Arts Series, streamed to our cinema screen and in full surround sound.
A modern Mexican classic of magic realism provides the basis for The Royal Ballet’s new full-length work, reuniting Artistic Associate Christopher Wheeldon with the creative team who transformed Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland and The Winter’s Tale into dance, composer Joby Talbot and designer Bob Crowley. The ballet is inspired by Laura Esquivel’s novel – a captivating family saga where the central character’s emotions spill out through cooking to influence everyone around her in startling and dramatic ways. In this co-production with American Ballet Theatre, Mexican conductor Alondra de la Parra also acts as musical consultant for Talbot’s newly commissioned score, and Wheeldon has worked closely with Esquivel to reshape her richly layered story into an entertaining and engrossing new ballet.
