@royalballetandopera: The energy of musical theatre meets the grace of contemporary ballet 🩰 Here's a sneak peek into rehearsals for the ballet scene from Christopher Wheeldon's Tony Award-winning musical An American in Paris, ahead of 'Ballet to Broadway: Wheeldon Works' opening on the Main Stage. Ballet to Broadway comprises four works - Fool’s Paradise, The Two of Us, Us, and An American in Paris - showing the remarkable choreographic range of The Royal Ballet's Artistic Associate, Christopher Wheeldon. The four distinctive pieces all showcase a different side to Wheeldon’s imagination and creativity, set to a wide range of musical genres – from Gershwin’s jazzy melodies to Joni Mitchell’s wistful songs. 🎟️ Ballet to Broadway opens on our Main Stage on 9 May. #TheRoyalBallet #Ballet #Musical #ChristopherWheeldon #GeorgeGershwin #JoniMitchell
