Tamara Rojo’s Bold Reimagining of a Timeless Tale of Love and Courage
Raymonda, a woman ahead of her time, embodies the resilience and compassion reminiscent of Florence Nightingale. Set against the backdrop of the 19th-century Crimean War, this adaptation redefines the role of women in both wartime and society. Tamara Rojo’s bold reimagining of Petipa’s timeless classic highlights its heroic and elegant qualities, set to Alexander Glazunov’s soaring score performed by the Grammy Award-winning SF Ballet Orchestra.
WHO IT'S FOR: Anyone who is brat and loves a strong female lead, fans of historical drama, overwhelming orchestral masterpieces, and those who appreciate love triangles of epic proportions. Love Island has nothing on the emotionally charged relationship between Raymonda and her admirers.
