The Royal Ballet presents a stellar cast in Kenneth MacMillan's daring and powerful ballet, filmed in 1994, with John Lanchbery's sumptuous scoring of music by Franz Liszt. The dramatic soundscape is matched by MacMillan’s penetrating interpretation of the events surrounding the double suicide of Crown Prince Rudolf of Austria-Hungary and his young mistress, Mary Vetsera, at Mayerling in January 1889.
“Kenneth MacMillan's choreography for this haunting tale is transcendent … stunning set and costume designs … John Lanchbery's truly remarkable score … The Royal Ballet is unbeatably good”
