Acclaimed choreographer Christopher Wheeldon has created a stunning retelling of one of the most famous ballets of all time. Inspired by Edgar Degas, the ballet-within-a-ballet takes place inside the Paris Opera Ballet studios during the 19th century. Combining classical elements with a modern vision and a touch of fantasy, this production features spectacular costumes, lavish sets and breathtaking choreography. See the world-renowned Joffrey perform ballet’s greatest love story set to the timeless Tchaikovsky score.
