Performer: Iain Webb

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.

The Sarasota Ballet continues to make a deep impression with its second programme of Ashton ballets, this time including a selection of divertissements and excerpts from longer ballets.

Anyone who is interested in the Ashton repertoire should go and see this marvellous reinterpretation of his repertoire from the excellent Sarasota Ballet.
