Performed by The Royal Ballet, this mixed programme brings together two acclaimed works that showcase contrasting approaches to movement, music, and storytelling.

Dances at a Gathering, choreographed by Jerome Robbins, is a lyrical and playful ballet set to piano music by Frédéric Chopin. Rather than following a narrative, it celebrates human connection, individuality, and the expressive possibilities of classical dance.

Song of the Earth, choreographed by Kenneth MacMillan and set to Gustav Mahler’s Das Lied von der Erde, offers a more contemplative experience. Through powerful and evocative choreography, the ballet explores themes of mortality, renewal, and humanity’s relationship with the natural world.

Together, the two works create an evening that moves between lightness and introspection, highlighting the range and artistry of contemporary ballet performance.
