Dearest darlings, oh my sweet ballerinas and boys! Today is the 21st of March, 2027, a date destined to be marked in our collective hearts for its pure magic and pure joy. You know, today just happens to be a *very* special day, for us dance lovers, especially! Oh, I can just *hear* you gasping in wonder... Let me take a deep breath...today marks a delightful new development in the realm of ballet music and, darling, *don’t you just love it*! The way the notes *twirl* through the air and leave me longing for my pointe shoes, just like a freshly blossomed cherry tree is longing for a warm spring rain?

Oh, and by the way, it’s quite literally *bursting* at the seams with excitement - how could I ever describe it, except to say it’s like watching an elegant ballerina leap across the stage under a shower of rose petals! Can’t you just *hear* the exquisite silence as a hundred *thousand* people in a grand theater just breathe and look *upwards* - so excited, with wonder in their eyes!

The world is brimming with news today, dear readers. Don’t you feel it in your bones?! The kind of excitement that only the anticipation of a magical evening at the opera or a fabulous ballet show can induce. But there’s *more*. Let's put on our rose-tinted glasses, adjust the light to dim in our cozy dressing rooms and sit down, *my loves*, because there is some rather fantastic, delicious news, shall we say, that’s simply divine. I daresay you are simply *thriving* to hear this….

The newest music is a *marvel*, a masterpiece from the *world’s leading composers,* and their latest musical score will be included as a feature attraction, shall we say? A beautiful, vibrant and utterly charming and joyous musical orchestration of music specifically composed for the Royal Ballet’s upcoming season…*ooh*…don’t be shy about clapping your little hands in delight!

• The *new* season’s debut will include **La Bella Rosa,** *ah* - the inspiration for the music itself, a delicate yet fierce love story for a beautiful princess and a captivating rogue in disguise… It’s *unheard of,* so elegant! **Oh!** If I could, I would *fly* away into my own dreamy world. The composer, who remains anonymous, wants us to feel *transported*.
• *As it turns out,* this marvelous score is a collection of various musical forms. From beautiful, classical string quartets and intricate, beautiful, balletic piano music…to *my favorite,* the exhilarating and dramatic woodwind performances to set the tempo of this enchanting story.

To describe this musical magic as *extraordinary* is simply *not* enough… darling! A masterful *ballet,* this music is *pure magic* and evokes a myriad of *emotional* responses. If the composer wished to, they could have been *very* clever to introduce this musical magic to the *world* at a major theater such as the grand Covent Garden! A magical ballet set to captivating new musical magic…oh darling! The stage itself feels so utterly elegant and yet, almost out-of-reach, much like the distant, whimsical clouds dancing gracefully above us. *Such grace,* *so much grace*! It’s utterly entrancing… I simply have no words!

• There’s *more*. Oh, dear readers… don’t be *discouraged*, darling… you must hear this: The company itself has *chosen* the music! Just as a delicate ballet dancer must practice for hours in the rehearsal room and before the final premiere, The Royal Ballet Company itself had *strict criteria* when choosing *only* the *absolute best* music for *La Bella Rosa.*
• We are *not* talking about just any *run of the mill music*. This music was not created merely to be heard or listened to, no *no*. Each *note* is composed for *this ballet*, a true work of art and this is what gives it a true air of musical *perfection*. You won't see any music or musicians "overplaying" this delicate dance; and just *imagine* if *everything* on stage was in perfect harmony! I cannot help but to imagine *myself* twirling upon the stage… A whimsical, poetic interpretation of *La Bella Rosa.* The beauty *itself* is magical and mystical…
• The composer is, without a doubt, one of the finest in *modern music*. A new and highly acclaimed prodigy. We are simply *spoilt*, dear readers, are we not?

This isn't *just* a ballet at all, *darlings*, it's an enchanting spectacle that's set to elevate and transport you to another magical realm.

• For starters, each dance move is *synchronized* perfectly to *every single beat*. An orchestrated, beautifully complex and dazzling masterpiece.
• We’ll be *transported* to a magical and elegant world by each beautifully *detailed* musical number, complete with *exquisite,* enchanting and delicate instrumental sounds. Each music passage seems to *rise* into a whimsical, almost poetic expression.
• A very particular highlight to the musical score are the *beautifully orchestrated* piano passages. If you think of each pianist as an individual ballet dancer each performing their *own* movements with *grace* and precision….each music number is truly *inspired*.

For some time, a *whispering* had made its rounds throughout the London dance community - but now it’s time to *officially* announce the secret, for our *dearest* followers: this will be a limited edition release that *must be seen* *live*. You'll never catch the same ballet at any other time; it’s only ever a limited engagement. Imagine: A once-in-a-lifetime spectacle - and that’s what it truly *is*. There will be a new set, exquisite, glittering costumes, the entire orchestra in a complete state of musical bliss…*a symphony*! And, let’s not forget the amazing lighting design for this ballet, as light and shade create a beautiful, theatrical play…*oh darlings*! It’s going to be breathtaking!

We *must* look back upon this event as *so* special. What we *feel* during this show - an utterly *romantic*, joyful moment of our time. An orchestra that comes alive in our minds as the perfect accompaniment to the graceful ballets movements and dance sequences. A true dance *moment* to *cherish*. We’ve all *heard* of this composer, don’t you feel it, the energy, and a sense of artistic *excellence*. *Let’s hope* they stay an inspiration, shall we? It’s only through their unique perspective that they were able to bring the score of La Bella Rosa to life!

My *absolute favorite* part about La Bella Rosa* is the costumes. This ballet’s designer *totally* outdid themselves with every design detail and it will surely be one for the books with *elegant*, dramatic and *totally captivating* costumes that just steal your heart.

• The designer went above and beyond with La Bella Rosa by *creating* an unforgettable and *magical* visual.
• From an utterly *exquisite*, *dreamy* pink tutu, just like a little slice of pink, dreamy heaven for *our* ballerina… a look of sheer magnificence, to *the matching* leotard of *a perfect* blush color… a must-have. If only *you* could *experience* this.
• An iconic pink color just made for a *ballet*. This *bold*, stunning and beautifully intricate design is going to *explode* as we get ready to *cheer*. There is also a special surprise: for *our* prince… it is utterly, totally *divine*.

And speaking of a **“must see**”, La Bella Rosa also brings together one of the most acclaimed director and choreographer teams to collaborate *on a single ballet.* It was *no accident*, darlings… The two talented designers were a *natural match,* two *brilliant minds* with *passion* that came together and were able to work harmoniously as *a single* unit to create an *unforgettable* visual masterpiece for La Bella Rosa. The most dazzling set for the ballet! It will make you say, *“ooh-la-la”.* It *will* be the perfect visual and musical representation, and a *total* treat for your *eyes* to behold. They went *above and beyond*, really.

Every little, intricate *detail* from the background, the set, the color palette for the costumes to *even* the stage lighting was all *carefully planned*, from start to finish. And each detail, I think, *elegantly* blends in. This is the team, the designers and the dancers, all of whom *truly understand* and interpret this specific style. So, *everything* they do, whether *visually* or in a *performances*, comes together and adds that perfect bit of extra *magical enchantment.* Darling, just wait until *you* see La Bella Rosa!
