At a garden
party on a sunny afternoon, Alice is surprised to see her parents’ friend Lewis
Carroll transform into a white rabbit. When she follows him down a rabbit hole,
events become curiouser and curiouser…As Alice journeys through Wonderland, she
encounters countless strange creatures. She’s swept off her feet by the
charming Knave of Hearts, who’s on the run for stealing the tarts. Confusion
piles upon confusion. Then Alice wakes with a start. Was it all a daydream?

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. The result shows
The Royal Ballet at its best, bringing together world-class dance with
enchanting family entertainment and ingenious music and design.
