The Programme: Four Dazzling Works

Fool’s Paradise
Originally created in 2007 and joined the Royal Ballet repertory in 2012, this dreamlike ballet is set to a lush score by Joby Talbot. Luminous lighting and delicate formations transport the audience to an ethereal realm of beauty and longing.

The Two of Us
A UK premiere you won’t want to miss. Set to the deeply moving songs of Joni Mitchell, this intimate duet was first performed by dance legends Sara Mearns and David Hallberg at New York’s Fall for Dance Festival. It’s a soulful, human, and tender exploration of connection and memory.

Us (Duet)
Originally created for BalletBoyz in 2017, this duet set to Keaton Henson’s music is a gripping portrayal of emotional vulnerability and strength between two male dancers. It’s raw, honest, and powerfully resonant.

An American in Paris (Ballet)
If you adored the classic film or the Tony-winning musical, you’ll be spellbound by this ballet adaptation. Performed by The Royal Ballet, this vibrant piece bursts with George Gershwin’s iconic jazz energy, Parisian flair, and cinematic romance. A celebration of Broadway brought to life through ballet.
