Alice's Adventures in Wonderland: a modern story ballet

Alice's Adventures in Wonderland opens the Royal Ballet and Opera's 2024-25 season with an amazing series of casts in this now classic Christopher Wheeldon ballet.

Alice opened at the Royal Opera House for the first time in February 2011 and is a magically faithful representation of the classic book 'Alice's Adventures in Wonderland'. It brings a 160 year old story into the world of classical ballet to create a wonderful showpiece, and a Royal Ballet classic.

With music by Joby Talbot, designs by Bob Crowley and choreography by Christopher Wheeldon, Alice was the Royal Ballet's very first full length commissioned ballet in more than 20 years and marked a new age of choreography in the company.

PSA: young RBO now has free access to RBO stream- so do sign up to watch this magical ballet, amongst countless other brilliant pieces.
