THE WORLD'S FINEST OPERA
BALLET, THEATRE AND MUSIC
Liszt: Mayerling
Irek Mukhamedov (Crown Prince Rudolf); Viviana Durante (Baroness Mary Vetsera); Lesley Collier (Countess Marie Larisch); Darcey Bussell (Mitzi Caspar)
The Royal Ballet presents a stellar cast in Kenneth MacMillan's daring and powerful ballet, filmed in 1994, with John Lanchbery's sumptuous scoring of music by Franz Liszt. The dramatic soundscape is matched by MacMillan’s penetrating interpretation of the events surrounding the double suicide of Crown Prince Rudolf of Austria-Hungary and his young mistress, Mary Vetsera, at Mayerling in January 1889.
