| 18-Apr-2013 The London Coliseum | Ecstasy and Death: An excellent triple bill by English National Ballet |
 For their second show in the London Coliseum this year, English National Ballet has presented the first programme entirely designed by its new artistic director Tamara Rojo.

 While the first of English National Ballet’s tributes to the Ballets Russes focused on works with a ‘nature’ theme, this second programme was more sporty – an apt topic for London 2012. First, there is Apollo, one of the most important and complex of the Olympian deities, then a game of tennis. Then there is an acrobat, and, finally, a marathon of non-stop technical classical feats. It makes an eclectic and interesting mix of differing styles, which show off diverse aspects of the company’s abilities.Read full review... | |
