A CENTENARY CELEBRATION

About the show

In celebration of The Royal Ballet School’s centenary, The Royal Ballet revives gems from the Company archives. Bringing together dancers from The Royal Ballet, Birmingham Royal Ballet and The Royal Ballet School, these special performances honour an illustrious history, a luminous present and a vibrant future. A suite from Ninette de Valois’s Checkmate opens the programme along with works from Wayne McGregor and Christopher Wheeldon and other choreographers associated with the School and companies, as well as Frederick Ashton’s Birthday Offering.
