Like Water For Chocolate - Royal Ballet and Opera in London

Based on the modern Mexican classic by Laura Esquivel, Like Water For Chocolate follows Tita, whose love for the neighbours’ boy, Pedro, is thwarted by an unusual and unquestionable tradition in her family: as the youngest daughter, she is bound to remain unmarried so she can take care of her mother in her old age. Caught between her passion for Pedro and her loyalty to the formidable Mama Elena, Tita turns to her love for cooking to express her turbulent emotions, as she seeks the right path forward.

Passion, mystery, and family drama collide in this magical ballet by Artistic Associate Christopher Wheeldon, set to music by Joby Talbot. Like Water For Chocolate is based on the best-selling novel by Mexican author Laura Esquivel, who worked closely with Wheeldon to convert her rich, complex story into the medium of dance. The novel is a critical and celebrated piece of Latin American literature, and a classic of the magical realism genre. This is the first revival of its sumptuous, visually stunning ballet apatation since its premiere in 2022. Dramatic choreography and a dreamy, romantic score come together to spirit you off into the heart of Mexico, to a family ranch beset by turmoil and complex relationships.
