Christopher Wheeldon's ballet adaptation of Lewis Carroll's classic tale brings the whimsical world of Wonderland to life through dance. The production, originally commissioned by The Royal Ballet and the National Ballet of Canada, features a full-length score by Joby Talbot with a large percussion section and four female voices.
Attendees can expect a visually stunning performance with characters like the Queen of Hearts, White Rabbit, and Cheshire Cat, all portrayed through expressive choreography. The ballet follows Alice, a teenager beginning her first romance, as she falls down the rabbit hole into a magical garden where she encounters a trial for the Knave of Hearts.
This co-production between major ballet companies has been performed internationally, including by the Royal Swedish Ballet and The Australian Ballet. The Rome performance offers a chance to see this acclaimed work in a new setting.
