Performer: Javier Torres

A welcome revival of Javier Torres' condensed version of The Sleeping Beauty with Finnish National Ballet provides challenges for the entire company.

Kenneth Tindall's Casanova is a rare example of an excellent British ballet on a grand scale, the most effective coup de théâtre coming in a momentous finale.

Jonathan Watkins' stage adaptation of George Orwell's 1984 is an entertaining and excellent work, presented by Northern Ballet at Leeds' West Yorkshire Playhouse.
