🤩 Two months to go until The Royal Ballet's Mayerling opens on the Main Stage! Inspired by dark and gripping real life events, Kenneth MacMillan's 1978 ballet depicts the sexual and morbid obsessions of Crown Prince Rudolf leading to the murder-suicide scandal with his mistress Mary Vetsera. The work remains a masterpiece of storytelling and this revival marks 30 years since the choreographer’s death. Catch it on the Main Stage from 5 October - tickets now available via roh.org.uk. 📸: @londonballerina as Mary Vetsera and @_tsoares as Crown Prince Rudolf in Mayerling, 2018 #RoyalOperaHouse
