The Mad Hatter's Tea Party is as wildly fun as you've imagined in this scene from the Royal Opera House in London. Steven McRae stars as the fabled Mad Hatter in this 2017 clip of the tea party from The Royal Ballet’s Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland.
Exciting news! The ballet was on stage in 2017, however, it's now being streamed online in January 2021!
Streaming: Friday, January 1, 2021, 7:00 GMT, broadcast online as part of the Royal Opera House's #OurHouseToYourHouse series. Available to watch until January 31, 2021.
Christopher Wheeldon’s exuberant Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland transports audiences to the riotous world of Lewis Carroll’s characters, including a tap-dancing Mad Hatter and a comically wicked Queen of Hearts. Bob Crowley’s ingenious mixture of traditional and innovative stagecraft together with the pace and colour of Joby Talbot’s score make Alice a gloriously vibrant experience. Packed with clever choreography – from the memorable croquet scene, complete with flamingos and hedgehogs, to a parody of the Rose Adage from The Sleeping Beauty – this is enchanting family entertainment at its best.
A co-production between
The Royal Ballet and The National Ballet of Canada
