Mayerling, Kenneth MacMillan’s controversial ballet, is based on the true story of the death Crown Prince Rudolf, heir to the Austro-Hungarian Empire, and his teenage mistress Mary Vetsera at his hunting lodge in Mayerling. The Mayerling ballet is based on one version of how this has come to pass; it tells of a suicide pact between the unstable, drug-taking crown prince and his mistress. The story starts with the arranged wedding between Rudolf and Princess Stéphanie of Belgium and ends with the double death, of which the real truth has never been established, probably due to a court cover-up. MacMillan brilliantly succeeds in translating his idea that ballet is not just about the steps but should also reflect human experiences, motivations and emotions by making the whole body expressive. Mayerling tickets give access to a ballet about lust, desperation and darkness. Buy your Mayerling tickets at Worldticketshop.com - Your Ticket to Fun!

Kenneth MacMillan’s retelling of the events surrounding the death of Crown Prince Rudolph at Mayerling has resulted in a controversial ballet show, filled with interesting and legendary characters. What to think of the fairytale figure of the Empress Sisi, Rudolph’s mother, and his strict father Emperor Franz Joseph? In the Mayerling ballet, MacMillan has not been trying to romanticise how the upper classes lived in those days; everyone, including the emperor, the empress and Rudolph, is having affairs, and everyone has opinions about which affairs are acceptable and which are not. It is hard to say how much of the Mayerling ballet is based on the truth and how much on conjecture, the tragic outcome of the ballet is however based on fact. Romeo and Juliet tells a romantic and tragic story, but sometimes there is nothing more tragic than truth. Get Mayerling ballet tickets to witness a tragic tale of deception and intrigue, set to beautiful dance and music.
