About Matthew Bourne’s The Red Shoes

The Red Shoes tells a story of obsession and possession. Do the red shoes belong to Victoria, or does she belong to them? And what, or who does her heart belong to? With a dream to become the world’s greatest dancer, Victoria is ambitious and that leaves her torn between the two men who inspire her passion.

The ballet is based on the iconic, Academy Award-winning film by Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger which was inspired by the classic Hans Christian Anderson tale. An intoxicating drama where life imitates art with fateful consequences, The Red Shoes will dazzle your senses and break your heart.

It’s worth the applause!

¿Qué se estrena en el London Theatre este mes? (diciembre de 2019)

Nos acercamos al final del año, pero como Elsa de Frozen , el frío no nos molesta porque estamos disfrutando del lado festivo del invierno. Aunque hay incertidumbre sobre si este año habrá nieve fresca en Navidad, sabemos con certeza que vamos a tener conciertos nuevos para hacer que la época más maravillosa del año sea un poco más mágica. ¡Ya sea que quieras embriagarte con el espíritu navideño y llevar a tu familia a ver la Natividad! El musical , o simplemente estás emocionado porque el Sondheim Theatre (antes Queens Theatre) reabra, ¡diciembre lo tiene todo!
