Product Description

Lewis Carrolls ever-popular story provides the basis for Christopher Wheeldons spectacular new work, starring Royal Ballet Principal Lauren Cuthbertson. Captivating designs by Bob Crowley, an engaging and passionate score by Joby Talbot, and Wheeldons breathtaking choreography combine to produce in the words of The Times spectacular family entertainment brought to life with enormous theatrical verve.

Review

...a monumental achievement. This production has to be the best dance adaptation of Lewis Carroll's beloved children's classic on the planet. --www.theglobeandmail.com

Format:DVD
Can I add anything to what has already been said,this IS a wonderful piece of Panto/Ballet.The costumes are very good giving the idea of an over the top Panto,and the story certainly flies along at a fast pace.The Royal Opera House I think have stretched their necks out a lot for this production,you'll either love or hate it,there can be no middle of the road,I love it.
The music is very good and played to a very high standard by the ROH Orchestra conducted by Barry Wordsworth.Laurel Cuthbertson was a very good choice for Alice,but the show was stolen by the Queen of Hearts -Zenaida Yanowsky,her portrayal completely OTT and hilarious,this is the added treat awaiting you.
The whole Ballet and all the Dancers put their all into what is pure escapism.
Should you buy it ? Yes its a bright star in the up and coming Ballet's of the future.
The reason for only 4 stars,well its not a Swan Lake,or even a Cinderella,and Amazon only giving us such a small choice of 1 - 5 just does not allow for what would have been a 9 out of 10 star production.

Amazing Wheeldon 6 Nov 2011
Format:DVD
This is one of Wheeldon's master pieces. The story is clearly explained with no moment of relax. Scenes are passing by while you find there the mistery, the charm, even the fair one can experience in Carroll's tale. Also a great sense of humour, Zenaida Yanowsky is brilliant!! All dancers are at their best, Lauren Cuthbertson, the heroin who dances and dances non stop. McRae, Polulin, great dancers for an amazing Wheeldon!

Format:DVD
I loved it and watched twice in the same day. The lighting, costumes, coreography, the stage decoration are amazing, dancers fabulous, it is more than ballet! A masterpiece! Watched it with my daughter aged 13 studying ballet in conservatory, my husband who is an architect and my nephew only 6 years old. We all were fascinated by Wheeldon's Alice version. Use of new visual technologies with ballet were fabulous. Thank you Wheeldon and the team and dancers of Royal Ballet!
