| 22-Feb-2013 Royal Opera House, Covent Garden | Two new works in an inspiring triple bill from The Royal Ballet |
 Last Friday, The Royal Ballet presented an exciting bill composed of George Balanchine’s iconic Apollo (1928) and two new ballets by acclaimed choreographers Alexei Ratmansky and Christopher Wheeldon. The programme was cleverly designed, since Ratmansky and Wheeldon are renowned explorers of the neoclassical style inaugurated by Balanchine.

 The penultimate programme of The Royal Ballet’s season takes the audience on a journey, from a joyous celebration with seven imperially dressed ballerinas, to a summer dacha filled with tense emotions, and finally back in time to the ceremonial rites of a Russian peasant wedding. The link to the three ballets is the great English choreographer Sir Frederick Ashton, who created two of the works and personally arranged for the third to be re-staged, thus saving it for posterity.Read full review... | |
