SUMMARY:The Royal Ballet:  BALLET TO BROADWAY: WHEELDON WORKS
DESCRIPTION:The Royal Ballet: BALLET TO BROADWAY: WHEELDON WORKS \nMixed Programme; 1 Revival\, 3 New Productions \nLIVE Via Satellite : Thursday 22 May 2025\, 19:15 BST \n  \nSensuous contemporary ballet meets the energy of musical theatre in four distinctive short works. Fool’s Paradise\, The Two of Us\, Us\, An American in Paris: four works showing the remarkable choreographic range of The Royal Ballet’s Artistic Associate\, Christopher Wheeldon. \n FOOL’S PARADISE  \nLuminescent 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. \n  \nTHE TWO OF US  \nThe wistful songs of Joni Mitchell set the scene for the UK premiere of The Two of Us\, a duet of deep intimacy and yearning. It was created in 2020 for the Fall for Dance Festival in New York\, and had American ballet dancers Sarah Mearns and David Hallberg in its original cast. \n  \nUS (DUET)  \nUs is a tender duet danced by two men. It was created in 2017 for BalletBoyz and is set to Keaten Henson’s music. \n  \nAN AMERICAN IN PARIS (BALLET)   \nThe 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. Set to Gershwin’s jazzy melodies\, the musical is inspired by the 1951 film of the same name starring Gene Kelly and Leslie Caron. The musical went on to win four Tony awards.  The full musical depicts a blossoming romance between the American G.I. Jerry Mulligan and a French ballerina\, Lise Dassin. The ballet excerpt was Wheeldon’s take on one of the most memorable scenes from the film – an extended sequence in which the two central characters dance through Paris. \nHOREOGRAPHY Christopher Wheeldon \nCONDUCTOR Koen Kessels \nORCHESTRA Orchestra of the Royal Opera House \nMUSIC: \nJoby Talbot \nJoni Mitchell \nKeaton Henson \nGeorge Gershwhin \nRunning time 180 minutes
