Performer: Ronald Hynd

The Philadelphia Ballet transported audiences back to Belle Époque Paris with The Merry Widow, set to Franz Lehár’s beloved score (adapted by John Lanchbery) and Ronald Hynd’s spectacular choreography.

English National Ballet School presented a full summer programme with excerpts from traditional ballets and new works showing the technical proficiency of the students as they aim for jobs in the profession.

Hungarian National Ballet strike a delightful balance between lighthearted comedy and technical assurance in Ronald Hynd's The Merry Widow.

A message of fondness to all Nutcracker lovers: the music still works its magic, even after hundreds of performances.
