Watch Ondine Here:
Miyako Yoshida dances the title role originally created for Margot Fonteyn in
the hauntingly beautiful underwater world of Ondine, vividly brought to life by The Royal Ballet.
Frederick Ashton’s shimmering choreography, Lila de Nobili’s impressionistic designs
and Hans Werner Henze’s specially commissioned, vibrant and inventive score,
memorably combine to evoke the many moods and colours of the sea.
Recorded live at the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden, London, June 2009.
