ROH: The Royal Ballet Triple Bill

From the venue:

The contemporary face of The Royal Ballet is shown in a fantastic trio of ballets from three of today’s leading choreographers, recorded live in 2019. Christopher Wheeldon’s Within the Golden Hour is based around seven couples separating and intermingling, set to music by Vivaldi and Bosso and lit with rich colors suggested by sunset. Crystal Pite’s Flight Pattern, revived for the first time, uses a large dance ensemble and Górecki’s familiar music from his Symphony of Sorrowful Songs for a poignant and passionate reflection on migration. Between them, Medusa, a new work by Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui created for The Royal Ballet, has its premiere to bring the contemporary truly up-to-date.
