Some of today’s star ballet dancers are exploring creative endeavours of their own alongside already busy schedules of performances. This November, it is Zakharova who curates her own evening of dance.

Transforming a novel for the screen always risks alienating authors and literary fans. Vicious pruning becomes even more necessary when a novel is adapted for a dance production, making the Shanghai Ballet’s reinterpretation of Charlotte Bronte’s Jane Eyre a high-stakes gamble.

The Kings of the Dance program offers audiences a unique experience: a chance to see the top men in ballet letting it all out on one stage. This year, Opus 3 maintained the program’s reputation at New York City Center.
