BALLET, THEATRE AND MUSIC
Liszt: Mayerling
Edward Watson (Crown Prince Rudolf of Austria-Hungary); Mara Galeazzi (Baroness Mary Vetsera)
Edward Watson takes the role of Crown Prince Rudolf in Kenneth MacMillan's compelling ballet which lives out the final eight years of Rudolf’s life with its relentless downward spiral of political intrigue, drugs and murder.
