MAYERLING

This is a classic of the Royal Ballet repertory, with its emotional depth and haunting imagery.

From the ballet’s start, the glamour of the Austro-Hungarian court is contrasted with undercurrents of sexual and political intrigue that drive the story to its violent climax in a double suicide.
