Ballet of the National Theatre Brno, with guest artists, gave outstanding performances of this update of a great 19th century ballet.

The Staatsballett Berlin closes its season in great style at the Deutsche Oper. Majestically performed, John Cranko's Romeo and Juliet is a still delight of movement and décor.

Organised by Berlin State Ballet audience’s darling, the principal dancer Polina Semionova, the gala Polina & Friends and its stellar cast literally left the house roaring from enthusiasm.

English National Ballet has performed The Nutcracker every year since it was founded in 1950. The latest version, by former company artistic director Wayne Eagling, has a great deal of charm and a stunning leading couple. At the London Coliseum. 

Spring has sprung in London, and there was a definite taste of nature and things new abounding at the Coliseum in the first of two programmes by English National Ballet. In Beyond Ballets Russes 1 there is a ‘newly hatched’ bird, two very different ‘faunes’ and a freshly outfitted pagan ritual to the god of spring.
