La più grande delle quattro principali compagnie di balletto in [[Gran Bretagna]], il Royal Ballet fu fondata nel 1931 da Dame [[Ninette de Valois|Dame Ninette de Valois]],<ref name="rohcollections.org.uk">{{cita web|lingua=en|url=http://www.rohcollections.org.uk/CollectionPersDeValois.aspx|titolo=Ninette de Valois Bequest and Papers|accesso=24 ottobre 2020|dataarchivio=7 aprile 2012|urlarchivio=https://web.archive.org/web/20120407002011/http://www.rohcollections.org.uk/CollectionPersDeValois.aspx|urlmorto=sì}}</ref> è diventata la compagnia di balletto residente della Royal Opera House nel 1946<ref name="rohcollections.org.uk"/> e le è stata concessa una licenza reale nel 1956, diventando riconosciuta come compagnia ammiraglia di balletto nazionale della Gran Bretagna.

==Storia==

Nel 1926 la ballerina di origine irlandese [[Ninette de Valois]] fondò l'Accademia di Arte Coreografica, una scuola di danza per le ragazze.<ref>{{Cita libro|url=http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=7gIDy6ait3IC&pg=PA223&lpg=PA223&dq=Academy+of+Choreographic+Art|titolo=Legacies of twentieth-century dance|editore=Wesleyan University Press|autore=Lynn Garafola|anno=2005|ISBN=0-8195-6674-8}}</ref> La sua intenzione era quella di formare una compagnia di balletto di repertorio e la scuola, portandola a collaborare con il produttore teatrale inglese e proprietario del teatro [[Lilian Baylis]]. Baylis possedeva i teatri The [[Old Vic]] e il [[Teatro Sadler's Wells|Sadler's Wells]] e nel 1925 lei ingaggiò la de Valois per mettere in scena spettacoli di danza in entrambe le sedi.

Il Sadler's Wells riaprì nel 1931 e il Balletto Vic-Wells e Vic-Wells Ballet School furono istituiti nei locali del teatro. Questi sarebbero diventati i predecessori degli odierni Royal Ballet, [[Birmingham Royal Ballet]] e [[Royal Ballet School]]. Prima del suo ritorno in Gran Bretagna Ninette de Valois era stata membro dei [[Balletti russi|Ballets Russes]] una delle compagnie di danza più rinomate e importanti del XX secolo. La compagnia si sciolse nel 1929 dopo la morte del suo fondatore [[Sergej Pavlovič Djagilev|SergeSergej DiaghilevDjagilev]]. Quando de Valois formò il Vic-Wells Ballet, impiegò un po' di ex stelle della compagnia tra cui [[Alicia Markova]] e [[Anton Dolin]] che si erano inseriti come primi ballerini e [[Tamara Platonovna Karsavina]] che ha lavorato con l'azienda come consulente. Il Fondatore direttore musicale era il direttore d'orchestra e compositore [[Constant Lambert]] che ha avuto una notevole influenza artistica e musicale nel corso dei primi anni della compagnia.<ref name=Vaughan>Vaughan D. Frederick Ashton and his Ballets. A & C Black Ltd, London, 1977.</ref>

Dopo aver perso il legame con il teatro Old Vic, nel 1939 la società è stata rinominata Sadler's Wells Ballet e la scuola diventò Sadler's Wells Ballet School.<ref>{{Cita web|url=http://www.royal-ballet-school.org.uk/history.php?s=2|titolo=The Royal Ballet School&nbsp;– a brief history|anno=2009|accesso=22 agosto 2009|urlmorto=sì|urlarchivio=https://web.archive.org/web/20090904212247/http://www.royal-ballet-school.org.uk/history.php?s=2|dataarchivio=4 settembre 2009}}</ref> Entrambi hanno continuato al Sadler's Wells Theatre fino al 1946, quando la compagnia fu invitata a diventare la compagnia di danza residente del Royal Opera House al Covent Garden, riaperto di recente, sotto la direzione di [[David Webster]]. La compagnia si trasferì al teatro dell'opera dello stesso anno nel 1946, con la loro prima produzione nella sede, ''[[La bella addormentata]]''. con le coreografie di [[Marius Petipa]]

In seguito al trasferimento della compagnia, la scuola si trasferì nei propri locali nel 1947. Fu costituita una società sorella per continuare gli spettacoli al Sadler's Wells, chiamato Sadler's Wells Theatre Ballet, sotto la direzione di [[John Field (ballerino)|John Field]]. Nel 1955, la società sorella ha perso temporaneamente il suo legame con Sadler Wells e ritornò al Royal Opera House come unità itinerante della compagnia principale.

Nel 1956, fu concessa una licenza reale per entrambe le compagnie e la scuola; furono successivamente rinominati il Royal Ballet, il Sadler's Wells Royal Ballet e la Royal Ballet School.<ref>{{Cita web|url=httphttps://www.britannica.com/EBchecked/topic/511257/Royal-Ballet|titolo=Royal Ballet&nbsp;–British ballet company|sito=Encyclopædia Britannica|accesso=22 agosto 2009}}</ref>

Il Sadler's Wells Royal Ballet tornò al Sadler's Wells Theatre nel 1970, pur continuando a fare tour nazionali. Nel 1987, tuttavia, la società fu invitata a diventare la compagnia di danza residente al Birmingham Hippodrome. Si trasferì a [[Birmingham]] nel 1990, venne ribattezzata [[Birmingham Royal Ballet]] e cessò di far parte del Royal Ballet nel 1997, quando fu resa indipendente dalla Royal Opera House, con Sir [[Peter Wright (coreografoballerino)|Peter Wright]] come direttore artistico. Il Birmingham Royal Ballet mantiene stretti rapporti sia con il Royal Ballet che con la Royal Ballet School, anche se ora ha una propria scuola associata di danza classica, la Scuola Elmhurst per la Danza.

Nel 1964 il Royal Ballet fondò "Balletto per Tutti" sotto la direzione di Peter Brinson. Tra il 1964 e il 1979 "Balletto per Tutti" andò in tour in tutto il paese, presentando circa 150 spettacoli annui e raggiungendo circa 70.000 persone ogni anno. Nel 1976 la Royal Opera House fondò il suo programma matinée per la sua scuola.

Oggi il Royal Ballet rimane la compagnia di danza residente alla Royal Opera House, conducendo i propri tour a livello internazionale, e continua ad essere il capogruppo del Royal Ballet School, che ha ora sede a [[White Lodge, Richmond Park]] e locali in [[Floral Street]], (in particolare per la Royal Ballet Upper School) , per che sono adiacenti e hanno accesso diretto alla Royal Opera House, tramite un piccolo ponte, il "Bridge of aspiration", che collega i due edifici, visibile dalla strada. Il ponte è stato progettato da Flint & Neill e Buro Happold per lo studio Wilkinson Eyre architects.

===Nikoláj Grigor'evič Sergéev===

===Sergeyev===

Durante i suoi anni formativi, il Sadler's Wells Ballet sarebbe diventata una delle prime compagnie di balletto al di fuori dell'[[Unione Sovietica]] a mettere in scena produzioni complete di balletti di [[Marius Petipa]] e [[Lev Ivanov]], che erano al centro del repertorio del Balletto imperiale russo. Per mettere in scena questi balletti con la sua compagnia di nuova costituzione, de Valois impiegò Nicholas[[Nikoláj SergeyevGrigor'evič Sergéev|Nikoláj Sergéev]], un ex régisseur dell'Imperial. Egli mise in scena produzioni di Petipa de ''La bella addormentata''; Petipa e ''[[Il lago dei cigni]]'' di Ivanov e ''[[Lo Schiaccianoci]]''; Petipa e la produzione di [[Enrico Cecchetti|Cecchetti]] di ''[[Coppélia]]''; e ''[[Giselle]]'' di Petipa. Create con l'ausilio di notazioni coreografiche scritte in [[San Pietroburgo]] a cavallo del XX secolo, queste opere sono state nel repertorio del Royal Ballet da allora. La società ora utilizza la produzione del 1984 di [[Peter Wright (ballerino)|Peter Wright]] dello ''Schiaccianoci'', che utilizza alcune delle notazioni di SergeyevSergéev. riprese di questi balletti a Londra di SergeyevSergéev sono considerate come la base del tradizionale repertorio di danza classica, e ha portato alla loro rimonta in tutto il mondo. Si stima generalmente che SergeyevSergéev abbia dato uno dei contributi più significativi alla popolarità del balletto in tutto il mondo. Le suasue notazioni coreografiche ed altri materiali ad esso relativi sono stati conservati nella "Collezione SergeyevSergeev", parte della collezione del teatro della Biblioteca dell'[[Università di Harvard]].

===Prima ballerina assoluta===

Il Royal Ballet è una delle poche compagnie di danza al mondo ad aver impiegato quattro ballerine considerate [[Prima ballerina assoluta]], di cui tre che hanno studiato alla Royal Ballet School. La prima è stata [[Alicia Markova]], che, essendo stata pupilla di [[Ninette de Valois]], come membro dei [[Ballets Russes]] di [[SergeiSergej DiaghilevPavlovič Djagilev|SergeSergej DiaghilevDjagilev]], fu invitata a diventare una delle ballerine fondatrici del Royal Ballet. Lei era stata designata prima ballerina della compagnia e, successivamente fu riconosciuta come prima ballerina assoluta. [[Margot Fonteyn]] studiò alla Royal Ballet School e trascorse tutta la sua carriera con la compagnia. Come regalo per il suo 60º compleanno fu nominata Prima ballerina assoluta dalla [[regina Elisabetta II]]. [[Phyllis Spira]] si unì alla Royal Ballet School nel 1959, diplomandosi durante un tour del Royal Ballet. Dopo tornò al suo paese natale, il [[Sudafrica]], dove fu nominata Prima ballerina assoluta dal Presidente nel 1984. La più recente è [[Alessandra Ferri]], che completò la sua formazione presso la [[Royal Ballet School|Royal Ballet Upper School]] e iniziò la sua carriera con il Royal Ballet. Dopo aver ballato con la compagnia per 4 anni, è stata in seguito nominata Prima ballerina assoluta del Corpo di Ballo del [[Teatro alla Scala]] di [[Milano]]. Altre prime ballerine assolute sono apparse con il Royal Ballet anche come ballerine ospiti, tra cui la ballerina francese [[Yvette Chauviré]]<ref>http://www.russiandvd.com/store/product.asp?sku=48900</ref> e la ballerina georgiana [[Nina Ananiashvili]].<ref>http://dancetabs.com/2013/03/happy-birthday-nina-ananiashvili/</ref>

==Struttura==

Il Royal Ballet ha sei ranghi di ballerini in ordine crescente:

* Artista: il più basso grado nella compagnia e, insieme con i primi artisti, i ballerini di questo livello formano il ''[[Corps de ballet|Corpo di ballo]]''. I diplomati in balletto che entrano nella compagnia, di solito lo fanno a questo livello. Che comprende anche ballerini e ballerine meno talentuosi.

* Primo Artista: un rango per i membri più anziani del ''Corpo di Ballo''. I ballerini di questo livello hanno la possibilità di eseguire alcuni dei ruoli più caratteristici del Corpo di ballo, come la ''Danza deldei Piccoli CygnetsCigni'' nel ''[[Lago dei cigni]]''. I ''Primi artisti'' a volte sono assegnati a ruoli minori di ''Solista'' se vengono presi in considerazione per la promozione.

* Solista: ci sono normalmente 15-20 solisti in una compagnia. Come suggerisce il nome, i ballerini a questo livello eseguono la maggior parte dei ruoli solo e ruoli minori in un balletto, come ''[[Mercuzio]]'' in ''[[Romeo and Juliet (Prokofiev)|Romeo and Juliet]]'' o una delle Fate in ''[[La bella addormentata (balletto)|La bella addormentata]]''.

* Primo solista: il grado in cui i ballerini vengono presi in considerazione per la promozione a livello di ArtistaPrimo Principaleballerino. Un ballerino a questo rango danzerà un variegato repertorio di ruoli solistici più in primo piano, mentre si perfezionerà con lo studio e avrà la possibilità di interpretare ruoli di primo piano quando un ''Principale'' o è ferito o non disponibile, e anche in questo caso una delle fate in ''La bella addormentata''.

* Principale artista di carattere: il rango dato ai membri della compagnia che si esibiscono in importanti ruoli di temperamento in un balletto. Questi ruoli sono normalmente molto teatrali e spesso comprendono la danza di carattere e il [[mimo]] di danza. Gli esempi sono ''[[Fata cattiva|Carabosse]]'' nella ''[[La bella addormentata (balletto)|The Sleeping Beauty]]'' o Drosselmeyer nello ''[[Lo schiaccianoci]]''. La maggior parte dei principali artisti di carattere del Royal Ballet sono più anziani, membri di lungo servizio della compagnia, che non sono più in grado di ballare ruoli fisicamente più impegnativi.

* ArtistaPrimo Principaleballerino: è il grado più alto nel Royal Ballet e i ballerini a questo livello generalmente eseguono il ruolo chiave ed i ruoli più in primo piano in un balletto. Per essere un ArtistaPrimo Principaleballerino bisogna essere riconosciuto come uno dei ballerini più importanti della compagnia e un certo numero di ballerini più famosi al mondo devono essere stati Principali con la compagnia.

Il Royal Ballet ha anche i ranghi particolari di "artista ospite e" artista ospite principale ". Il titolo di artista ospite è dato a una ballerina in visita, che è stata inserita in un ruolo per un balletto specifico o per una stagione limitata. Il titolo di artista ospite principale a volte è dato agli artisti ospiti che si esibiscono con la compagnia su una base a lungo termine.

<!-- ==Sir Frederick Ashton==

{{vedi anche|Balletti di Frederick Ashton}}

Sir Frederick Ashton was the founder choreographer of the Royal Ballet. Previously a dancer with the [[Ballet Rambert]], Ashton started his career as a choreographer under the direction of Dame [[Marie Rambert]], before joining the Royal Ballet as its associate choreographer when the company was founded in 1931. He created the majority of the company's early works and staged their first performance at the Royal Opera House, a production of [[The Sleeping Beauty (ballet)|The Sleeping Beauty]] in 1946. Ashton was appointed Artistic director of the Royal Ballet from 1963 to 1970, when he retired from the post. He continued to work as a choreographer internationally, with his final work being the ''Nursery Suite'', for a gala performance by the [[Royal Ballet School]] at the Royal Opera House in 1986. His numerous ballets have since been staged by leading dance companies worldwide and feature strongly in the programming of the Royal Ballet today.

===Lavori coreografati===

Ashton created over 100 original ballet works and numerous other productions, some of the most notable including:

==Sir Kenneth MacMillan==

{{Vedi anche|Kenneth MacMillan}}

Sir Kenneth MacMillan (11 December 1929 – 29 October 1992) was a British ballet dancer and choreographer. He was artistic director of the Royal Ballet in London between 1970 and 1977.

Although a talented dancer, MacMillan is best known for his choreography, and particularly for his work with the Royal Ballet. He also worked with the American Ballet Theatre (1956–7) and the Deutsche Oper, Berlin (1966–69). He succeeded Frederick Ashton as Director of the Royal Ballet in 1970 and resigned after seven years, frustrated at balancing the conflicting demands of creating ballets with administration. He continued as Principal Choreographer to the Royal Ballet until his death in 1992.

Prior to his appointment as Resident Choreographer of the Royal Ballet, Wayne McGregor has already established himself as an award-winning dancer, choreographer and director. His first choreography for the Royal Ballet, was ''Fleur de Peux'', a solo work created in 2000 on Viviana Durante. This led to further commissions by the Royal Ballet, including ''Symbiont(s)'' in 2001, ''Qualia'' in 2003 and ''Engram'' in 2005. He also created the ballet ''brainstate'' in 2001, as a collaboration between the Royal Ballet and his own company, [[Wayne McGregor Random Dance Company|Random Dance]]. McGregor was appointed Resident Choreographer of the Royal Ballet in 2006, the first person to hold the post in sixteen years, and the first to be selected from the world of [[contemporary dance]].

==Fonteyn-Nureyev==

{{Vedi anche|Margot Fonteyn|Rudol'f Nureev}}

First performing together with the Royal Ballet in Giselle on 21 February 1962, [[Margot Fonteyn]] and [[Rudol'f Nureev]] would form what has been called the greatest ballet partnership of all time. The partnership would lead to both dancers being noted amongst the most famous ballet dancers of all time and came at the peak of what is now widely regarded as the most successful period in the Royal Ballet's history.

On 12 March 1963, the couple premiered Sir [[Frederick Ashton]]'s ''Marguerite and Armand'', the first ballet created for them and one that become their signature piece. Performed to a piece of piano music by [[Franz Liszt]], the ballet starts with Marguerite on her deathbed, and the story is told in flashback until the moment Armand arrives to hold her for the last time before she dies. Ashton had planned the piece specifically for Fonteyn, and it was critically acclaimed as Fonteyn's dramatic peak, with fifty photographers attending the dress rehearsal and twenty-one curtain calls at the premiere performance. The final performance of the ballet starring Fonteyn and Nureyev was staged at a gala at the [[London Coliseum]] in 1977 and it was not performed again until 2003. Against the wishes of Frederick Ashton that it not be performed by any other dancers than Fonteyn and Nureyev, it was revived as part of a Royal Ballet triple-bill, starring Nureyev's protegee [[Sylvie Guillem]] and the Royal Ballet star Jonathan Cope.

The Fonteyn-Nureyev partnership lasted for many years until Fonteyn's retirement from the Royal Ballet in 1979, aged 60. In 1970 after Frederick Ashton retired as Artistic Director of the Royal Ballet, there were many calls for Nureyev to be announced as his successor. However, Kenneth MacMillan was given the position, and Nureyev left the Royal Ballet as a Principal soon after to be a guest dancer internationally, later becoming Artistic Director of the Paris Opera Ballet in 1983. Fonteyn and Nureyev had a lifelong relationship both on and offstage and were close friends until Fonteyn's death in 1991. Nureyev is quoted as saying of the partnership that they danced with "one body, one soul".

<!-- ==Ross Stretton==

{{Vedi anche|Ross Stretton}}

Born in [[Canberra]], Australia, in 1952, [[Ross Stretton]] trained at the [[Australian Ballet School]], later becoming a principal dancer with [[the Australian Ballet]] company. He then moved to America, where he danced with the [[Joffrey Ballet]] and as a principal dancer with [[American Ballet Theatre]] before retiring as a dancer in 1990. He was appointed regisseur of American Ballet Theatre, becoming assistant director of the company in 1993. After returning to Australia, he was artistic director of the Australian Ballet from 1997 to 2001.

Following [[Anthony Dowell|Sir Anthony Dowell]]'s retirement as artistic director of the Royal Ballet in 2001, the board of the Royal Opera House announced Stretton as his successor, with a three-year contract; however, he resigned the post after 13 months, in September 2002. Stretton's appointment and subsequent departure from the Royal Ballet generated an unprecedented level of media attention for the Royal Ballet in recent years, due to controversy caused by his management of the company. Following his resignation, Stretton returned to Australia where he worked as a teacher and consultant until his death from cancer in 2005.

A number of controversial issues and allegations as well as resistance to organisational change lead to Stretton's departure from the Royal Ballet:

* Principal dancer [[Sarah Wildor]] quit the company after a dispute over casting.<ref name='newsarticle1'>{{cite news|url=http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/main.jhtml?xml=/news/2001/09/26/nwild26.xml|title=Royal Ballet shocked as Wildor quits|work=Daily Telegraph, 26 September 2001 | ___location=London | first=Nigel | last=Reynolds | date=26 September 2001 | accessdate=25 May 2010}}</ref> Stretton had both historically and during his tenure with The Royal Ballet favoured athletic, speedy dancers as opposed to those with a more lyrical style, such as Wildor.

* Stretton sometimes chose corps de ballet members for principal roles, leading to numerous arguments with Principal dancers.<ref name='newsarticle4'>{{cite news|url=http://www.dailymail.co.uk/pages/live/articles/news/news.html?in_article_id=139977&in_page_id=1770|title=Swanning off, the ballet boss accused of affairs|work=Daily Telegraph, 26 September 2002 | ___location=London | first=Mark | last=Reynolds | date=15 November 2010}}</ref>

==Kevin O'Hare==

Former Birmingham Royal Ballet Principal dancer and Royal Ballet Administrative Director Kevin O'Hare succeeded Monica Mason as Director of The Royal Ballet in August 2012. Administrative Director of the company since 2009, O'Hare retired from dancing in 2000 and subsequently worked with the [[Royal Shakespeare Company]] and as Company Manager of Birmingham Royal Ballet.

<blockquote>

This is a great honour for me. Under Monica Mason's inspired leadership The Royal Ballet has had a great ten years. I am equally ambitious for the Company and dance in general. I plan to bring together the most talented artists of the 21st century to collaborate on the same stage – world class dancers, choreographers, designers, and musicians. I will aim to use all the traditional and new platforms now available to engage our audiences in our classic repertoire, and The Royal Ballet's unique heritage. I want to continue to invigorate audiences with new work and emerging talents and I am thrilled that Wayne McGregor and Christopher Wheeldon – two of the world’s leading choreographers – have agreed to join me and Jeanetta Laurence, Associate Director to become part of the senior artistic team. Both Wayne and Christopher share my exciting ambitions for the Company."<ref>{{cite web|last=Royal Opera House|title=Kevin O'Hare appointed new Director of The Royal Ballet|url=http://www.roh.org.uk/news/kevin-ohare-appointed-new-director-of-the-royal-ballet|publisher=Royal Opera House|accessdate=9 January 2012}}</ref>

==Royal Opera House, Manchester==

The Royal Opera House and [[Manchester City Council]] are currently in the planning stages of a new development known as '''Royal Opera House, Manchester'''. The proposal is for the [[Palace Theatre, Manchester|Palace Theatre]] in Manchester to receive an £80 million refurbishment, creating a first-class theatre capable of staging productions by both the Royal Ballet and Royal Opera. The Royal Opera House would take residence of the theatre for an annual 18 week season, staging 16 performances by the Royal Opera, 28 performances by the Royal Ballet and other small-scale productions. The proposals would establish the Palace Theatre as a designated base for the Royal Opera House companies in the North of England, as a producing house for new ballet and opera, and as a training centre for all aspects of theatre production. The proposals could potentially lead to the creation of 700 jobs for local people.<ref>http://www.guardian.co.uk/music/2008/oct/28/royal-opera-lowry-manchester Article from ''The Guardian'' about Royal Opera House Manchester</ref><ref>http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/manchester/7702690.stm Article from BBC News about Royal Opera House Manchester</ref>

The proposals have been approved by [[Andy Burnham|Andy Burnham MP]] the [[Secretary of State for Culture, Olympics, Media and Sport]], and accepted by a number of public bodies. However, the plans are currently being revised to address the concerns put forward by those who are opposed to the plans. Issues that have been raised include:

* How will the refurbishment of the Palace Theatre be funded?

* Will the proposals impact negatively on [[The Lowry]], a theatre and arts complex in nearby [[City of Salford|Salford]]?

* Will the Manchester season present the same standard of performance as the Royal Opera House in London?
