"Spectacular! Epic emotional sweep... a major artistic achievement, once more confirming Wheeldon's place as a luminary among today's choreographers"
The Toronto Star
The National Ballet of Canada present a new work from the erudite Christopher Wheeldon, this time casting aside the delights of wonderland for the Bard of Avon's fairy tale drama of a family at war with one another. Working once again with Joby Talbot and Bob Crowley to build a world of fantasy that encompasses the tragedy of love and hate that bubbles over with the innovation we've come to expect from his increasingly incredible works.
A tale of jealousy, betrayal and ultimate redemption, The Winter's Tale follows the fortunes of King Leontes of Sicilia and his childhood friend, the Bohemian king Polixenes. Leontes is possessed by a sudden jealousy that Polixenes has seduced his wife Hermione, and suspects that her unborn baby isn't his. Consumed by fury, he orders his manservant Camillo to poison Polixenes; instead, he warns the king, and the two flee. Meanwhile, Hermione is thrown into prison under her husband's suspicion of treason.
When the baby arrives, Leontes' heart fails to soften, and orders his newborn daughter to be abandoned to the Fates. Sixteen long years pass and the baby Perdita is raised by a kindly shepherd. Leontes learns from the Delphi Oracle that his wife was innocent and that the baby was his; he mourns his stupidity and tries to make amends for his evil. But in a twist of fate, he is reunited with his long-lost daughter, and finally receives the deliverance he has been looking for.
