Flamenco at its finest – a thrilling performance at Sadler’s Wells

To be explicit, Ballet Flamenco de Andalucía is explosive. But to describe this show as just a dance performance would be negligent. The absolute power radiating from City Center’s stage this week comes not only from the dancers, but the musicians and the music, from traditions carried on in caves across the south of Spain.

La CND presenta en Madrid Carmen, del coreógrafo Johan Inger, en un nuevo enfoque del mito de la cigarrera que ha ganado el premio Benois de la Danse. Los bailarines Daan Vervoot y Kayoko Everhart dan vida magistralmente a los protagonistas y la Orquesta Sinfónica Verum acompaña desde el foso.

Las Sílfides, Celeste y Carmen se juntaron bajo el mismo techo para deleite de quienes aman este arte y pocas veces pueden apreciar estilos diferentes con los mismos protagonistas.

Carlos Acosta's Carmen is full of exuberance and first class dancing but it doesn't quite set the stage on fire. 

With five founding dancers in BRB2, this inaugural dance salad was embellished with other ingredients including the addition of seven members from the main company. 

Dix ans après la disparition du chorégraphe français Roland Petit, formé à l’école de danse de l’Opéra de Paris, l’institution lui rend hommage dans un programme en trois parties.
