A star studded programmme of works celebrating the legacy of Les Ballets Russes

The superstar pairing of Natalia Osipova and Ivan Vasiliev lost some luster on this trip to New York with some weak material.

This summer marks 25 years of excellence by Ardani artists. A gala celebrating this milestone brings together Natalia Osipova, Ivan Vasiliev, Edward Watson, Marcelo Gomes, Joaquin de Luz, Denis Matvienko and Friedemann Vogel.

Mikhailovsky Ballet's mixed program at Lincoln Center had something for everyone: an old classic, a showpiece, and a contemporary Nacho Duato work.

Two of ballet's brightest stars, Natalia Osipova and Ivan Vasiliev dwelve into contemporary repertoire. Performances at the London Coliseum, with works by Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui, Ohad Naharin and Arthur Pita.

Five vital young men from top international ballet companies hit the stage of the 
London Coliseum in Kings of the Dance.

With a rocket-fuelled, high-octane production of The Flames of Paris, the Bolshoi Ballet has concluded its three-week season in London. And with the reappearance of the company’s former Wunderkinds, back as guest artists, to dance together in the ballet’s opening performance, how could it be anything but an exciting and exuberating final flourish to the tour.

The story may be a bit thin but the quantity of its dancing makes up for it. Laurencia is a ballet little known in the west (though the Mikhailovsky Ballet brought it to London in 2010). Combining the jollities of Don Quixote with the revolutionary fervour found in Flames of Paris, Laurencia is really just an excuse to fill the stage with non-stop dancing.

Forget those photos from North Korea showing the build-up of weaponry. A couple of supersonic rockets were set off in London on Saturday night at the London Coliseum, and the audience is still reeling from the aftermath.

They’re finally here, back in London to wow audiences once again with their scintillating dancing. The darlings of the ballet world, Natalia Osipova and Ivan Vasiliev last appeared together in the capital two summers ago, and a few months later sent shock waves like the aftermath of an earthquake around the dance community when they announced that they were leaving their alma mater, the Bolshoi Ba

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.

It was one of those ‘I was there’ moments that will be remembered always by a lucky few. Ivan Vasiliev’s single guest performance with English National Ballet in Le Jeune Homme et le Mort was one of startling brilliance, of great power and heartfelt emotion for his purpose in performing was to offer his own personal tribute to the late Roland Petit.

Romeo and Juliet is one of the most popular ballets for both dancer and spectator and the production, created in 1955 by the great British choreographer Frederick Ashton and brought to the London Coliseum this week by the Peter Schaufuss Ballet has certainly plenty to please, especially the presence of its young protagonists.

The Bolshoi are back in town and, judging from yesterday’s opening performance of Spartacus, they are here to show off their characteristically big and bold style of ballet. Spartacus is a spectacle of grand scale, a thrilling combination of physical power and drama.
