His Majesty's Theatre

Vienna, 1889: behind the glittering facade of the Habsburg court, Crown Prince Rudolf is spiralling. Trapped by duty, isolated within his own family, and increasingly consumed by addiction and despair, he moves through a world of splendour that offers him everything… except the freedom he craves. When the young Mary Vetsera is drawn into his turbulent world, their intense connection accelerates a descent towards the infamous tragedy at the Mayerling hunting lodge, a scandal the monarchy fought to conceal.

The Scandal at Mayerling

Macmillan's most dramatic ballet, based on the true story of a royal family with a dark secret, re-imagined by Scottish Ballet.
