This is a bold claim - but this just might be the most beautiful film you ever see! You don't need to know anything about ballet (I don't) to realize this is very special. Three separate half hour ballets, each great! And the central dancing of Alessandra Ferri is so moving.

Everything comes together - the dancing, the choreogrphy, the music of Max Richter, the costumes, the staging, and the filming.

So, do give this a go - if you don't feel it deserves a 10 then you can contact me & I will refund the cost of the DVD!

I have watched this multiple times, and it only gets better - and I can never get to the end without shedding a tear at how beautiful this is - ENJOY!

The musical genre features stories that combine music, singing, dancing, acting, and often spoken dialogue to tell a story or convey a narrative. Musicals incorporate various elements of drama, music, and choreography to create a cohesive theatrical experience that engages audiences on multiple levels.

The Royal Ballet presents Wayne McGregor's triptych, inspired by the writings of Virginia Woolf, with an original score by Max Richter. Met with outstanding critical acclaim on its premiere in 2015, it went on to win McGregor the Critics' Circle Award for Best Classical Choreography and the Olivier Award for Best New Dance Production. Each of the three acts draws from one of Woolf's iconic novels - Mrs Dalloway, Orlando and The Waves - combined with elements from her letters, essays and diaries. Presented from The Royal Opera House by Darcey Bussell and Clemency Burton-Hill.
