The Royal Ballet is a Leading British ballet company and school, based at the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden, London. Until 1956 it was known as the Sadler's Wells Ballet. It was founded 1931 by Ninette de Valois, who established her school and company at the Sadler's Wells Theatre. It moved to Covent Garden 1946. Frederick Ashton became principal choreographer 1935, providing the company with its uniquely English ballet style. Leading dancers included Margot Fonteyn, Rudolf Nureyev, Alicia Markova, and Antoinette Sibley.

The company's roots can be traced to the invitation by Lilian Baylis to Ninette de Valois to establish her school and company at the rebuilt Sadler's Wells Theatre 1931. The Vic-Wells Ballet, as it was then known, developed its popularity largely through the performances of Alicia Markova and through de Valois' shrewd artistic policies and organizational skill. In 1946, the company changed its name to Sadler's Wells Ballet and shifted base from the Wells Theatre to the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden. The same year saw the founding of a second, touring troupe, the Sadler's Wells Opera Ballet (later Theatre Ballet). The touring company again changed its name 1976 to Sadler's Wells Royal Ballet. In 1963 de Valois resigned in favour of Frederick Ashton as director. He was responsible for creating such ballets as Marguerite and Armand for Margot Fonteyn, whose partnership with Rudolf Nureyev ushered in the Royal Ballet's golden age. Kenneth MacMillan took over from Ashton 1970 and strengthened both companies' modern-ballet styles with works from US choreographers such as Jerome Robbins and Glen Tetley. Anthony Dowell took over from Norman Morrice 1986 and declared a policy of rejuvenating the classics, as in his Swan Lake 1987, which he recreated the nearest approximation to the original 1895 choreography. He also commissioned new works such as MacMillan's The Prince of the Pagodas in 1989.
