Review: LIKE WATER FOR CHOCOLATE, Royal Ballet And Opera
by Matthew Paluch - Oct 2, 2025

Narrative ballet is hard, so anyone willing to go there deserves a medal regardless of the outcome. The Royal Ballet (mainstage) season opened last night with Christopher Wheeldon's 2022 Like Water for Chocolate. Based on the 1989 Laura Esquivel novel of the same name, the ballet is fundamentally a love story, and includes all the trials and tribulations that often come with it - with a heavy dose of mysticism and culinary explorations.

by Vikki Jane Vile - Mar 5, 2025

Sir Kenneth MacMillan’s Romeo and Juliet continues to enjoy endless popularity, this being its third run by the Royal Ballet since 2019, but when the results are as good, there’s no reason why not.

by Aliya Al-Hassan - Dec 7, 2023

The world can often seem so grey at the moment, so any opportunity to step into the light is most welcome. There can be few festive shows that ignite such a sense of wonder and delight as the Royal Ballet’s The Nutcracker. If the festive season is all about tradition, then Peter Wright’s 1984 production, modelled on Lev Ivanov’s 1892 ballet, is exactly what any ballet lover wants to see.

Review: THE DANTE PROJECT, Royal Opera House
by Louise Penn - Nov 20, 2023

With a potent and varied score from Thomas Adès, vibrant choreography from Wayne McGregor, and intruguing design from Tacita Dean, The Dante Project captures the attention despite the assumption audiences know who's who in this revered Italian narrative poem.
