Alice's Adventures in Wonderland trailer (The Royal Ballet)

Christopher Wheeldon’s Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland burst onto the stage in 2011 in an explosion of colour, stage magic and inventive, sophisticated choreography. Joby Talbot’s score combines contemporary soundworlds with sweeping melodies that gesture to ballet scores of the 19th century. Bob Crowley’s wildly imaginative, eye-popping designs draw on everything from puppetry to projections to make Wonderland wonderfully real.

Alice encounters a cast of extraordinary and instantly recognizable characters, from the highly strung Queen of Hearts – who performs a hilarious send-up of The Sleeping Beauty’s famous Rose Adage – to a playing card corps de ballet, a sinuous caterpillar and a tap-dancing Mad Hatter. But the ballet does not avoid the darker undercurrents of Lewis Carroll’s story: a nightmarish kitchen, an eerily disembodied Cheshire Cat and the unhinged tea party are all here in vivid detail. The delicious result shows The Royal Ballet at its best, bringing together world-class dance with enchanting family entertainment.

I saw this on the Sky app and it opened my eyes to ballet. I've been obsessed ever since

Although Sarah Lamb is a beautiful dancer, I'm just in love with how Lauren plays Alice!🌹🌿

My sister loves the story and I love ballet and the only problem is we're broke and live in Belfast >> Some day though...

There's would be someway to watch it? I'm not from UK and I really want to see it! I have seen a little of the last ballet and seems a very good one!

So excited to see it on the 30th, who else is seeing it that day?

I wish I could see it also, but the Royal Opera House is a bit too far to travel. Beautiful. I wanted to e a ballerina as a child but it wasn't until I was in my 30's that the reason my legs would move properly was due to congenital arthritis!!!!

Thank you for this. I found the story a bit threatening as a child and I hope this won’t be too weird! Looking forward to the live screening on 23/10/17 will be watching in Scotland.

I watched the ending of the ballet and I was confused. It looks like that Alice was reading a book (which I think is the story that we are watching), but fell asleep and had a dream about it. This makes the beginning scene the beginning part of the dream and Alice was not living in the 19th century, but either the end of the 20th or the beginning of the 21st. That's what I got from it, but I don't know if that's the case.

Are you doing this ballet again or is it just an old trailer for memories?
