Ultimate ballet classic during the holidays
Dutch National Ballet’s new full-length classic, Raymonda (2022), received four and five-star reviews and several mentions as the ‘best production of the year’ in the international dance press. In her production, associate artistic director Rachel Beaujean gives her own interpretation of the ballet story, which is relevant to the times we live in today. At the same time, she lets the choreographic gems of Marius Petipa’s last great masterpiece sparkle like never before.
Dutch National Opera & Ballet recommends that children be at least 8 years old for this performance.
