Live, Video: Kritiken zu klassischen Konzerten, Opern, Ballett und Tanz finden | Royal Swedish Ballet

Rudolf Nureyev's typically intricate choreography serves the Royal Swedish Ballet well, showing off the virtuosic talents throughout the ranks as well as the principal dancers.

Based on the 1947 book Petter and Lotta's Christmas by Elsa Beskow, this version of The Nutcracker by Pär Isberg is a complete delight.

Ek’s vision of the romantic tragedy is seen through a distorted lens, sometimes fascinating, sometimes bemusing.

Mat Eks kicks his dancers loose from the stable: a fresh take on Shakespeare's most celebrated romance. 

Mat's Ek's contemporary Juliet and Romeo is a moving take on the well loved classic. With Royal Swedish Ballet, on tour at London's Sadler's Wells 

An evening of two dance world premières, and one Swedish première, by top international names by the Swedish Royal Ballet. Starting with the elegance of William Forsythe, followed by a horrific scene by Chrystal Pite and culminating in the cool gaga-dancing in Sharon Eyals Bill, this is an evening of contrasts.

Expectations run high when two of the most brilliant Nordic choreographers première works on the same stage in ths double bill at the Swedish Royal Opera labeled The Emperor. Örjan Andersson and Jo Strömgren exceed expectation, combining sensuousness and aristocratic pride with political stringency.
