Live, Video: Find classical music concert, opera, ballet and dance reviews | Nathan Goodman

The closest that dance theatre comes to the "Hammer" House of Horrors!  An imaginative, macabre, grotesque and colourful double bil. 

Barbican Britten: Phaedra is just one of the events in the venue’s two-week celebration of the composer’s centenary. The programme presents four pieces choreographed by Richard Alston to Benjamin Britten’s music. Alston’s choreography is well suited to Britten’s music: both artists are lyrical, tempered, and incline toward narrative.

Richard Alston’s Autumn season At Home was greeted with a full house. Dance celebrities and non-celebrities, the older generation from his experimental years, and eager younger choreographers with notebooks all gathered in celebration at The Place.
