Think of #RoyalBallet principal
@williambracewell , think of the starry-eyed romantic lead: Prince Siegfried (Swan Lake), The Prince (The Nutcracker), even Romeo, the greatest love-struck beau to ever grace the stage.
But not this time.
In Kenneth Macmillan’s #Mayerling, which is on at the
@royalballetandopera house until next week, Bracewell plays Crown Prince Rudolf, a compulsively dark character from Austrian history.
The title of the ballet comes from the name of the village where ‘the Mayerling incident’ took place in 1889, the still mysterious murder-suicide pact made between Rudolf and his young lover, Baroness Mary Vetsera, played by principal
@fumikaneko_ .
‘Bracewell’s ascent to the top of the Royal Ballet is richly-deserved,’ writes
@annabel_sampson in her profile of Bracewell. ‘He is a fully-fledged It Boy of the Royal Opera House.’
