The Royal Ballet presents a stellar cast in Kenneth
MacMillan's daring and powerful ballet, filmed in 1994, with
John Lanchbery's sumptuous scoring of music by Franz
Liszt. The dramatic soundscape is matched by MacMillan’s
penetrating interpretation of the events surrounding the
double suicide of Crown Prince Rudolf of Austria-Hungary
and his young mistress, Mary Vetsera, at Mayerling in
January 1889.
This is the first title in the Royal Opera House Collection,
which presents some landmark recordings made in the
closing years of the 20th century with world-class artists on
a world stage.
‘Kenneth MacMillan's choreography for this haunting tale is
transcendent ... stunning set and costume designs ... John
Lanchbery's truly remarkable score ... The Royal Ballet is
unbeatably good’
