TheRoyal Ballet is one of a handful of world class companies with arepertoire and back-catalogue of productions to die for. That's not tomention their nearly 90 dancers - which gives them strength in depth -and principals and guest principals who are amongst the finest you willsee anywhere. What the Royal has, which few other companies at thislevel can compete with, is a naturalness in the classical and dramaticrepertoire that brings their productions to life like few others.
Brief Introduction of The Royal Ballet The Royal Ballet is a renown classical ballet company based at the Royal Opera House in the Covent Garden area of London, England. The largest of three major ballet companies in Great Britain the Royal Ballet is recognised as Britain'snational ballet company due to its Royal status. Founded in 1931 byDame Ninette de Valois, the Royal Ballet was one of the foremost balletcompanies of the 20th century and is still regarded as one of theWorld's leading ballet companies today.
In 1926, the Irish born dancer Ninette de Valois founded the Academy of Choreographic Art,a dance school for girls. Her intention was to form a repertory balletcompany and school, leading her to collaborate with the Englishtheatrical producer and theatre owner Lilian Baylis. Baylis owned theOld Vic and Sadler's Wells theatres and in 1925 she engaged de Valoisto stage dance performances at both venues. Sadler's Wells reopened in1931 and the Vic-Wells Ballet and Vic-Wells Ballet Schoolwere established in premises at the theatre. These would become thepredecessors of today's Royal Ballet, Birmingham Royal Ballet and Royal Ballet School.
