The story

What Is The Winter’s Tale (The Royal Ballet) About?

The premise of The Winter’s Tale (The Royal Ballet) without spoilers.

A new full-length ballet reimagines Shakespeare’s enduring tale of love, loss, and reconciliation. The story explores the destructive power of jealousy, leading to the abandonment of a child and a period of seemingly insurmountable despair. Through remorse and regret, and a miraculous event involving a statue, the narrative ultimately finds redemption in forgiveness and reconciliation. Choreographer Christopher Wheeldon reunites with designer Bob Crowley and composer Joby Talbot, the team behind "Alice," to create a highlight of The Royal Ballet season.
