Encore Stream: The Royal Ballet of the United Kingdom
2:00:44
One of the most famous and celebrated companies in the world, The Royal Ballet appeared at Jacob’s Pillow for the first time, as the company’s sole stop in the U.S. in 2024. Based in London, England, The Royal Ballet has been in residence at The Royal Opera House in Covent Garden since 1946. The company was founded by Dame Ninette de Valois in 1931. The company’s celebrated repertory is drawn from 19th-century ballet classics as well as the distinctive English works of its Founder Choreographer Frederick Ashton and Principal Choreographer Kenneth MacMillan, and continues to resonate with audiences strongly today through the striking contemporary sensibility of Resident Choreographer Wayne McGregor and Artistic Associate Christopher Wheeldon. This Encore Stream will be available until 12pm EST on July 11, 2024. This livestream performance was made possible by major support from the Deborah Loeb Brice Foundation.
