The Royal Ballet has acquired a double bill from Sol León and Paul Lightfoot that transcended even the highest expectations. An evening to watch over and over again.

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. 

Last seen in 2017, Christopher Wheeldon’s take on the classic Lewis Carroll novel returns to the Royal Opera House stage, or rather Royal Ballet and Opera as we must now call it.

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.

This tenth anniversary revival of Christopher Wheeldon's The Winter's Tale looks as fresh as on the original opening night.

An emotional rollercoaster showcasing the choreographic genius of Sir Kenneth MacMillan.

A long list of stars and young hopefuls from every corner of the globe came together to support Ukraine in the second fund-raising gala of its kind.

The first revival and first pairing of two award-winning choreographies proves to be a very rewarding double bill. 

In her first work for the Covent Garden main stage, based on the life of Jacqueline du Pré, choreographer Cathy Marston explores the profound bond between musician and instrument.

The first mixed programme of the new season is led by a stellar cast.

A memorable and important event in the history of British ballet, sensitively and sentimentally performed. 

As MacMillan's masterpiece nears its 500th performance by The Royal Ballet, a fresh run of performances opens with a new pairing in the lead roles. 

Three of Kenneth MacMillan's first five works are once more wholly, or partially, revived in this outstanding and purposeful debut for the Viviana Durante Company  

A strongly cast revival of The Winter's Tale by The Royal Ballet confirms one of Shakespeare's "problem plays" as perhaps being best suited to dance. 

Two complex works of genius, showing different aspects of the suffering of women, bring together The Royal Ballet and English National Ballet to honour Sir Kenneth MacMIllan 

As with Carroll’s original fantasy novel, Wheeldon’s wonderful ballet matures and pleases, yet more, at each revisit.   

BalletNOW returns to the Glorya Kaufman Presents Dance at the Music Center in Los Angeles. The production features dancers from six different major ballet companies, but fails to impress.

If there is only one Nutcracker with which to herald the Christmas season, let it always be this one.    

Christopher Wheeldon’s The Winter's Tale (created for The Royal Ballet in 2014) is back on the Covent Garden stage this month and is as fresh and pristine second time around.

The Royal Ballet premieres Christopher Wheeldon's Strapless, and performs two other ballets by the choreographer for the first time.

Quality and quantity go hand in hand in Derek Deane's grand production performed by Shanghai Ballet.

This Royal Ballet programme shows Sir Frederick Ashton's versatility of subject while never scrimping on unmistakeable style.

With a programme inspired by neuroscience and fairytale, the Royal Ballet shows that one is not born, but rather, becomes a woman.

This production is beautiful to look at and has interesting, atmospheric commissioned music. With The Winter's Tale it is evident that inventive choreographer Wheeldon and The Royal Ballet have another hit on their hands.

The Royal Ballet's 2011 reimagining of Lewis Carroll's beloved Alice stories was a glorious triumph, as proved by its immediate, slightly reworked revival for the 2012 season.

There was no thought of letting the Royal Ballet dancers ease out gently in their last programme of the season. The Triple Bill now on offer demands from each of its exponents a mathematical brain, the precision of a Swiss watchmaker and the stamina of a fell runner.
