Fathom Events is excited to bring a stunning new season from Britain’s largest ballet company The Royal Ballet to select cinemas across the country beginning this fall. Direct from London’s famous Royal Opera House, The 2014/15 Royal Ballet Cinema Season will feature five spectacular titles between October 2014 and May 2015.

The first screening is Christopher Wheeldon’s full-length ballet based on Lewis Carroll’s called Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland. The program is broadcast live from London’s Covent Garden, The Royal Ballet, led by Director Kevin O’Hare. The event will also include 15 minutes of behind-the-scenes footage including exclusive interviews with the artists, along with rehearsal footage.

Christopher Wheeldon’s full-length ballet based on Lewis Carroll’s beloved book is an exuberant piece of storytelling featuring an instantly recognizable cast of characters, among them a tap-dancing Mad Hatter, a tetchy White Rabbit and a raucously bad-tempered Queen of Hearts. Wheeldon, along with composer Joby Talbot and designer Bob Crowley, have created a genuine family ballet in the spirit of Carroll’s much-loved children’s classic. While regular ballet-goers can appreciate nods to other famous works – there’s a parody of the Rose Adagio from The Sleeping Beauty, for example, with jam tarts instead of flowers – the ballet is above all a brilliant realization of Carroll’s zany dream-world featuring stunning choreography, a colorful score and ingenious stage-magic.
