DESCRIPTION:Jun 4-8\, 2026\nEvening-length story ballets are box-office fod
 der—or would be if ballet were only to oblige. But\, as Balanchine famou
 sly observed\, the idiom doesn’t do mothers-in-law\, much less the “mu
 rder\, sex\, and unsuitable lovers” (as biographer Antonia Fraser has it
 ) that embroiled Mary\, Queen of Scots. Nevertheless\, she is the subject 
 of a new full-length work by the Scottish Ballet. The enterprising company
  has doubled up on everything. Michael P. Atkinson (Sufjan Stevens’s arr
 anger for Justin Peck ballets) and Mikael Karlsson (composer of bouncy sco
 res for several Alexander Ekman productions) provided the music. Resident 
 choreographer Sophie Laplane counted on opera director and dramaturge Jame
 s Bonas to smooth out the plots and counterplots on which the intrigue dep
 ends. And the narrative features two heroine-villains: Queen Elizabeth and
  her wayward cousin. As the ballet’s anchor\, these women are its best h
 ope. Mary\, Queen of Scots premiered last year at the Edinburgh Festival\,
  and heads to Lincoln Center for its New York premiere.
