Sergei Polunin returns to London with a mesmeric performance as Rasputin 

Project Polunin takes a big step forward with a refreshingly new programme that was as well produced as it was performed 

Natalia Osipova and Sergei Polunin's present a contemporary programme of works exploring the complexities of a couple's initimacy at Sadler's Wells

Coppelia is based on a story by a German (E.T.A. Hoffman’s The Sandman), was first turned into a ballet by Frenchmen (the music is by Delibes) and staged in Paris with an Italian ballerina, and was then revived and made popular by Russians. This production has choreography by another Frenchman, Roland Petit, and has been brought to London by Moscow’s Stanislavsky Ballet.

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.
