Jonathan Miller's modish production returns to The Metropolitan Opera with three leads who are absolutely right. 

Kyle Abraham's The Weathering doesn't feel particularly fresh on its premiere, but Crystal Pite's Solo Echo and Christopher Wheeldon's Danse à Grande Vitesse pep up the first triple bill of the season at Covent Garden. 

This wonderful ballet has never looked better at The Royal, especially in the remarkable performance of Natalia Osipova.

It’s only her third performance of role, and her New York debut, but it was so polished that Brandt immediately jumped to our writer's personal short-list of great Giselles.

A welcome return to London for America's oldest ballet company begins with a highly personal interpretation of Shostakovich in dance 

Ulrich Birkkjaer presented an affecting portrait of a tormented Shostakovich, as he paced, leapt, slumped, was propped back to standing, and relentlessly propelled forward.

Even given a routine revival, McVicar's staging has much to recommend it, returning the opera to its literary roots. 

David Lang’s new opera the loser opened the Next Wave Festival at the Brooklyn Academy of Music on Wednesday night, but simply lacked theatricality.

Le Ballet de l’Opéra de Paris reprend la chorégraphie shakespearienne de George Balanchine de 1962, pourvue pour l’occasion d’une nouvelle mise en scène et en costumes signée Christian Lacroix.
