Wonderland Comes to Folkestone

Christopher Wheeldon, the mastermind behind Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, has a long history of pushing the boundaries of ballet with his inventive and sophisticated choreography. His work has been widely acclaimed, and this production is no exception, having burst onto the stage in 2011 with an explosion of colour and stage magic. With a career spanning many years, Wheeldon has established himself as a leading figure in the world of ballet.

The production itself is a feast for the senses, with Joby Talbot's score combining contemporary soundworlds with sweeping melodies that gesture to ballet scores of the 19th century. The result is a truly immersive experience that will delight audiences of all ages. Bob Crowley's wildly imaginative designs draw on everything from puppetry to projections, making Wonderland wonderfully real and enchanting.

On Tuesday, 23 March 2027, the Royal Ballet will bring this beloved classic to the Quarterhouse in Folkestone. Tickets are with the button beside the article. This production is a testament to the power of collaboration and creativity, bringing together world-class dance with enchanting family entertainment and ingenious music and design. With its stunning choreography, beautiful score, and imaginative designs, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland is an event not to be missed.
