故事簡介
皇家芭蕾舞團全新作品以墨西哥近代經典小說為創作藍本，駐團編導Christopher Wheeldon再度與『愛麗絲夢遊仙境』及『冬天的故事』創作團隊合作，並由Joby Talbot編寫配樂及Bob Crowley 設計舞台。
《濃情朱古力》芭蕾舞劇取材自Laura Esquivel同名小說 – 女主角感情豐富，但卻因為生活及家庭而受到壓抑，唯有透過烹飪抒發，以一道道的菜餚呈現細膩的感情起伏，由此展開故事，帶出墨西哥人血脈中的熱情拉丁文化。
是次作品與美國芭蕾舞劇院聯合製作，墨西哥指揮家Alondra de la Parra 身兼配樂顧問。而Wheeldon亦跟Esquivel緊密合作，把故事豐富而複雜的層次以芭蕾舞姿展現出來，為觀眾帶來充滿娛樂性的新製作。

Synopsis
A modern Mexican classic of magic realism provides the basis for The Royal Ballet’s new full-length work, reuniting Artistic Associate Christopher Wheeldon with the creative team who transformed Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland and The Winter’s Tale into dance, composer Joby Talbot and designer Bob Crowley.
The ballet is inspired by Laura Esquivel’s novel – a captivating family saga where the central character’s emotions spill out through cooking to influence everyone around her in startling and dramatic ways. In this co-production with American Ballet Theatre, Mexican conductor Alondra de la Parra also acts as musical consultant for Talbot’s newly commissioned score, and Wheeldon has worked closely with Esquivel to reshape her richly layered story into an entertaining and engrossing new ballet.
