The Royal Ballet presents a stellar cast in Kenneth MacMillan's
ballet, filmed in 1994 for the BBC, with John Lanchbery's sumptuous
scoring of music by Franz Liszt. The dramatic soundscape is matched
by MacMillan's penetrating interpretation of the events surrounding
the double suicide of Crown Prince Rudolf of Austria-Hungary and
his young mistress, Mary Vetsera, at Mayerling in January 1889. The
Orchestra of the Royal Opera House is conducted by Barry
Wordsworth.
