Despite Carlos Acosta's staging of Don Quixote feeling a little tame, The Royal Ballet's star couple dazzles. 

Yet another revival of MacMillan's signature ballet.  Enlivened by tremendous performances, not least in the title role, and still a classic. But, how long will that pertain?   

A career defining performance by Edward Watson, well supported by a memorable cast

Fluttering fans and hearts in Carlos Acosta's Don Quixote, performed by the Royal Ballet in Washington.

Carlos Acosta's Don Quixote opened this week at the Royal Opera House, with Carlos Acosta as Basilio and Marianela Núñez as Kitri.

Manon proves a wonderful start to the new season at Royal Ballet with Marianela Nuñez in the title role and Federico Bonelli as her lover.

When the cast sheet warns the audience that there will be gunshots in each act, you know you are not at The Nutcracker. Kenneth MacMillan’s 1978 ballet Mayerling is famously about sex, obsession, madness and death – a cocktail that apparently sells enough tickets to ensure its regular revival at the Royal Opera House.
