Modanse, a double bill designed for the star Bolshoi ballerina, disappoints at the London Coliseum. 

Near perfection from the corps de ballet represent the Bolshoi at its very best during its Royal Opera House residency.

Superstar husband-and-wife team, renowned violinist Vadim Repin and "tsarina of the dance" Svetlana Zakharova, go on a date and take us with them. The music fared much better than the ballet.

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.

While the ballet's libretto is dated, The Golden Age can, when performed by great artists, be both an entertaining and emotionally satisfying ballet.

Like the casket-full of pearls with which the concubines bribe the chief eunuch in Scheherazade, a lavishly decorated curtain reveals the jewels of the Russian Seasons of the XXI Century at the London Coliseum. Andris Liepa, a former Bolshoi Ballet dancer now turned impresario, has adopted the role of a contemporary Diaghilev and brought precious choreographies and artists to London.

The great impresario Sergei Diaghilev faced many challenges when presenting his Ballets Russes in Paris at the turn of the 20th century (remember the near riot at the première of Le Sacre du Printemps?), and some things never change.
