Summary
Scottish Ballet performs Sir Kenneth MacMillan’s choreography to the music of Franz Liszt, with Martin Yates conducting the orchestra for this production entitled The Scandal at Mayerling.
Why it's fantastic
Dark secrets and royal obsession take centre stage in this intense exploration of a real-life nineteenth-century tragedy. The score draws on the turbulent energy of Franz Liszt, providing a visceral backdrop for the athletic storytelling. It is a gripping choice if you prefer your theatre with a sharp, psychological edge.
