1 day agoLike Water for Chocolate, The Royal Ballet Review
The Royal Ballet opened its 2025/26 season with the first revival of Christopher Wheeldon's 2022 Like Water for Chocolate; and as season openers go, I can't think of many ballets that would offer an audience more bang for their buck. Bob Crowley's stunning, atmospheric designs, Joby Talbot's sweeping, narrative musical score, magical cookery recipes, rampaging revolutionaries, a vengeful ghost, and an extraordinary coup de theatre finale, all framing a life-long forbidden love affair, plunge the audience into a colourful, exotic, sunlit universe
