Kenneth MacMillan's 'Prince of the Pagodas' hasn't been performed by the Royal Ballet since 1996 but outgoing director Monica Mason is reviving the ballet for her final season. MacMillan is best known for dark psychological drama but this one's different, a fairytale narrative (emperor, princess, magical journey etc) set in an exotic 'eastern' land. Set to a score by Benjamin Britten, it's a ballet full of tricky moves and athletic choreography and you can see some of the Royal's top principals, including Marianela Nuñez and Tamara Rojo, tackling the leading role made famous by Darcey Bussell.
