Ondine
Choreography by Frederick Ashton
Running time: 2 hours 40 minutes
29 November, 3, 5, 6 December, 27, 28 May, 1, 2, 3, 5, 6 June 2009
A star role for a ballerina and enchanting choreography from a master – Ondine combines both of these – not surprising, as it was created in 1958 for Margot Fonteyn by Frederick Ashton.
This 50th anniversary revival by The Royal Ballet brings new stars as the water sprite Ondine and the young mortal Palemon with whom she falls in love to tragic ends. The whole Company take part in bringing to life the sea spirits and sailors of this Romantic story, with its wonderful scenes beneath the sea, in a Gothic castle and onboard a storm-tossed ship, all magically staged in Lila de Nobili’s impressionistic designs.
