Talbot: Alice's Adventures in Wonderland (The Royal Ballet)

Royal Ballet Artistic Associate Christopher Wheeldon magically captured the twists and turns of Lewis Carroll’s classic story, Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, in his 2011 ballet. Bob Crowley’s vivid sets and costumes take us down the rabbit hole into a colourful world full of curious creatures and captivating characters. Joby Talbot’s original score is full of sweeping melodies and contemporary sounds. Lauren Cuthbertson stars as the inquisitive Alice, with Federico Bonelli as the charming Knave of Hearts, Steven McRae as the tap-dancing Mad Hatter and Laura Morera as the formidable Queen of Hearts. This exuberant and engaging ballet is spectacular entertainment for the whole family.

Lauren Cuthbertson is my favourite Alice! Wheeldon choosing her to be the original is brilliant - she has that fairytale smile that brightens up the stage as if this is a real adventure story.

I just love the tutu she wears. I love how it flows with her dances. Prefer those than those stiff tutus.

[@parasuicidaldaughter]

Chiffon ballet dress and pancake tutu?

[@gabrielhuff6969]

Those costumes!!!! Amazing

[@andynonymous6769]

I love the queen of hearts more than words can say

I purchased a video of this ballet on Amazon so I could watch it in its entirety.

I love the rabbits costume

[@jonathan1104_]

I’ve always loved dance but could never actually do it,,, I also love the costumes and I perused a passion for art. Maybe one day I could design a costume for a ballet dance :)

[@neiljosephbennett9119]

The music is extraordinary!!!!

[@marylickona6322]

Wow. This is so beautiful. I was going to say what my favorite part is but I couldn't decide!!

[@MariaClara-tg5hn]

I don't know why but I was really wishing that Alice's dress was blue

[@luisgerardonolascolopez7615]

Because everyone is traumatized by Disney's vision of Alice in wonderland
same for how they imposed the image of snow white

[@scarlettwaffle]

Luis Gerardo Nolasco López traumatized ? That dresses and looks just became iconic that’s all.

[@andynonymous6769]

I like the drop waist and the bow but there's just something off about the dress as a whole. Not the colour, it just doesn't evoke anything in me. Just looks like a purple dress, you know?
Well I'm no costume designer. Not like I could've done better.
