The Royal Opera House Live Cinema Season - A co-production between The Royal Ballet and American Ballet Theatre.

 A modern Mexican classic of magic realism provides the basis for The Royal Ballet's new full-length work, reuniting Artistic Associate Christopher Wheeldon with the creative team who transformed Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and The Winter's Tale into dance, composer Joby Talbot and designer Bob Crowley.

The ballet is based on the famous Mexican novel by Laura Esquivel.
