London
Royal Ballet - Mayerling
An intoxicating mix of dangerous desires, family secrets and political intrigue spirals into a royal disaster in Kenneth MacMillan’s psychologically thrilling ballet, inspired by real life events.
Kenneth MacMillan’s 1978 ballet draws upon the gripping real-life series of events surrounding the murder-suicide scandal of Crown Prince Rudolf and his mistress Mary Vetsera, also known as the ‘Mayerling incident’ or the ‘Mayerling affair’.
A signature of The Royal Ballet repertory, Mayerling has all the hallmarks of a MacMillan ballet.
Ensemble scenes show off the Company at its dramatic finest, while the lead roles – portraying the searing inners depths of the human psyche – offer abundant interpretative opportunities for the Company’s Principals.
