Liam Scarlett's elegiac and classically inspired ballet, Asphodel Meadows, premiered at the Royal Opera House in 2010 and returns in 2018.Set to Poulenc's Concerto for Two Pianos in D minor, the classically-informed choreography of Asphodel Meadows forms a counterpart to the three movements of Poulenc's vigorous and spirited concerto.From a cast of 20 dancers, three couples emerge to dance pas de deux showing glinpses of contrasting emotions in the score, from lyrical and romantic to playful, charming and lively. The ballet's title refers to the place in Greek mythology where ordinary souls spend life after death.At the Royal Opera House from 18 January to 13 February 2019, book your Asphodel Meadows tickets today!Please click here to view other events at the Royal Opera House.
