Wayne McGregor鈥檚 groundbreaking new work The Dante Project from the Royal Opera House.

This reimagining of The Divine Comedy showcases the full Royal Ballet Company, as we follow Dante on his epic journey through three realms: Hell (Inferno: Pilgrim), Purgatory (Purgatorio: Love) and the Afterlife (Paradiso: Poema Sacro). Along the way, the poet encounters characters such as Ulysses, Virgil, Satan and adulterous lovers Paolo and Francesca.

This exciting new piece crosses boundaries between abstract and narrative dance, combining poetry and performance in one innovative fusion. With a new virtuoso score by composer Thomas Ad猫s, the stage is brought to life with designs by Tacita Dean and lighting designers Lucy Carter and Simon Bennison. Dramaturg Uzma Hameed completes the creative team that illuminates the extraordinary vision of Dante.

This performance is conducted by the musical director of the Royal Ballet, Koen Kessels, and stars Edward Watson as Dante in his final principal role with the company.
