Jewels: The Royal Ballet live from the Royal Opera House

Jewels, known to be George Balanchine’s timeless evocation of the brilliance and sparkle of emeralds, rubies and diamonds, will be broadcast live from The Royal Opera House, to Eden Cinemas’ screens on Tuesday 11th April at 8.15pm.

George Balanchine’s evocation of the sparkle of emeralds, rubies and diamonds is a brilliant ballet classic. The French Romantic music of Fauré provides the impetus for the subtlety and lyricism of ‘Emeralds’, while the fire of ‘Rubies’ comes from Stravinsky and the jazz-age energy of New York. Grandeur and elegance complete the ballet with the splendour of Imperial Russia and the peerless music of Tchaikovsky in ‘Diamonds’.

Jewels is a masterclass in the many luminous facets of classical ballet and indeed of The Royal Ballet itself: the virtuoso choreography of Balanchine, the intensity of the soloists and the precision of the entire Company.

Watch this magnificent ballet with a global audience through the Royal Ballet’s live broadcast for one night only. Tickets are available at €18 for adults and €10 for children and under 16. This includes a complimentary glass of wine and complimentary parking at the Eden Leisure Car park.
