Alice in Wonderland - JPAS
Alice in Wonderland is a ballet based on Lewis Carroll’s immortal masterpiece based on the music of Tchaikovsky. Enter into the majestic setting of the classic tale and see the familiar story come to life in the form of dance. In 1995, English National Ballet commissioned a score for a full length ballet, based on Lewis Carroll’s immortal masterpiece, Alice in Wonderland. The one stipulation and challenge was for a score to be based on the music of Tchaikovsky. Carl Davis accepted the challenge and a smash hit was born. The centre of the score is derived from Tchaikovsky’s Album for the Young. Davis also drew on Tchaikovsky’s Theatre Music, Tone Poems and Operas, as well as the beautiful waltz from the Fifth Symphony for The Garden of Living Flowers. This highly successful production was revived many times, including performances at the Company’s London Coliseum seasons.
