Williamson breaks new ground with BRB

Philippa Newis, 15th June

It is good to see Birmingham Royal Ballet in such fine fettle. This triple bill is well conceived and deftly performed. Not always flawless in its execution, but a five star programme nonetheless.

English National Ballet: Beyond Ballets Russes 1

Margaret Willis, 22nd March

Spring has sprung in London, and there was a definite taste of nature and things new abounding at the Coliseum in the first of two programmes by English National Ballet. In Beyond Ballets Russes 1 there is a ‘newly hatched’ bird, two very different ‘faunes’ and a freshly outfitted pagan ritual to the god of spring.
