"Brings together two compelling works showing the dramatic range of Lauren Cuthbertson and The Royal Ballet."

Overview

Cathy Martson created The Cellist for The Royal Ballet in 2020. The inspiration for her first work for the Royal Opera House Main Stage is the momentous life and career of cellist Jacqueline du Pre - from her discovery of the cello and her celebrity as one of its most extraordinary players, to her pain, frustration, and struggle with multiple sclerosis. In The Two Pigeons, Lauren Cuthbertson and Vadim Muntagirov lead a charismatic cast in Frederick Ashton's poignant and heart-warming reflection on love, based on an old French folk tale and first performed on Valentine's Day 1961.
