About Like Water For Chocolate - Royal Ballet and Opera
Nothing tastes better than forbidden love.
Passion, mystery and magic combine in Christopher Wheeldon's deliciously captivating ballet based on Laura Esquivel’s modern Mexican classic novel.
Tita heart's desire is to marry the boy next door, Pedro, but she is bound by an unquestioned family tradition. As the youngest daughter she must remain unmarried to take care of her mother in old age. Caught between her yearning for Pedro and the formidable hand of her mother, Tita's emotions spill into her cooking in unexpected ways.
