The latest addition to Cinema Alternate Content, World Ballet gives audiences the chance to witness in stunning High Definition and 5.1 Surround Sound from the comfort of your cinema seat. Each performance has been shot with seven cameras, constantly cutting between multiple angles, close-ups, long and medium shots, and bird’s eye views of the stage to give audiences a uniquely intimate experience. World Ballet Cinema Season in HD will launch on February 27 at Sorrento Athenaeum Cinemas with the Royal Ballet’s utterly captivating Tales of Beatrix Potter. The remaining world famous ballets in the season include Tchaikovsky’s classic The Sleeping Beauty and the most celebrated and poignant ballet, Giselle which launched The Royal Ballet’s Alina Cojocaru to instant global stardom, the heartmelting Romeo and Juliet and the enduring gem La Fille Mal Gardee.
