Live, Video: Kritiken zu klassischen Konzerten, Opern, Ballett und Tanz finden | Joseph Sissens

Natalia Osipova, a seasoned Tatiana, is joined by Lukas B Brændsrød, making his debut as Onegin in the summer return of John Cranko's take on Pushkin's classic verse novel. 

A showcase presenting the rich diversity of Christopher Wheeldon’s choreography should become a staple in The Royal Ballet's calendar.

A triple bill of works by Balanchine shows off both the dancers’ versatility and his own wide ranging skills as a choreographer. 

Overall, Light of Passage is one of those glorious pieces where music, choreography and design meld together to make theatrical magic.

The combination of spectacular backdrops and evocative film projections are visually stunning and the dancers are superb, but Wayne McGregor's MaddAddam is difficult to follow.

In a quadruple bill of contemporary works, The Royal Ballet's dancers shine in this diverse programme, creating an immersive experience.

Bringing Ashton from Florida to The Royal Opera House sounds like “coals to Newcastle” but I think that “discovering buried treasure” might be a more appropriate idiom.

Two very impressive debuts in the lead roles of Liam Scarlett's Swan Lake with The Royal Ballet, bodes well for the futures of Mariko Sasaki and Joseph Sissens.

Visually splendid, Liam Scarlett's Swan Lake showcases some wonderful dancing, but there is still room for improvement. 

The Royal Ballet's lavish Nutcracker provided a plethora of outstanding performances on its opening night.

Thomas Adès' score does most of the storytelling in this epic production, though the dancing is superlative.

A mixed programme of all-British choreography, including a world premiere, offers something for everyone.

Every decade or so, The Royal Ballet creates a new work that will endure in its signature collection, and there's little doubt that Woolf Works deserves its place among that elite.   

Throughout the entire cast, every named role was performed with the mix of enthusiasm, affection and assuredness.

Kyle Abraham's The Weathering doesn't feel particularly fresh on its premiere, but Crystal Pite's Solo Echo and Christopher Wheeldon's Danse à Grande Vitesse pep up the first triple bill of the season at Covent Garden. 

Marianela Nuñez and Vadim Muntagirov still reign over The Kingdom of Sweet as The Nutcracker returns to Covent Garden for a marathon run of performances over the Christmas season. 

The first post-lockdown performance by The Royal Ballet offer an important indicator for the company's future.

A brief but innovative tribute to the lasting influence of Merce Cunningham in the Linbury Theatre

The Firebird/A Month in the Country/Symphony in C is an effective and enjoyable programme to close The Royal Ballet's season.

This opener to a unique tri-city, same-day event celebrating Cunningham's centenary was a magical and tranquil collage.
