Final verdict on Woolf Works? It’s sprawling, uneven, with parts that are thrilling and other parts that are prosaic and shallow.

Every decade or so, The Royal Ballet creates a new work that will endure in its signature collection, and there's little doubt that Woolf Works deserves its place among that elite.   

McGregor's new creation for the Milanese company imagines Les Noces as a sequel to his take on The Rite of Spring.

The first Fracci Gala at the Teatro alla Scala celebrates the memory and the stature of a child of the house, who not always considered so in life. 

Celebrating Alessandra Ferri's 40-year association with The Royal Ballet by reviving Maurice Béjart's L'Heure exquise, a rarely-seen work by one of Europe's great 20th-century choreographers. 

The second Dance@TheGrange builds on its reputation for fearless programming, with performances from Company Wayne McGregor and Ballet Black, and a standout new work by Ballet Black's Mthuthuzeli November

Alessandra Ferri, the former La Scala Prima Ballerina Assoluta, makes her triumphant return to Milan as the moving incarnation of Virginia Woolf in Wayne McGregor's most mature, complete and striking piece to date.

In order to really take you somewhere a performance has to open a window to another, higher plane of existence. This is that show.

Praise goes to Wayne McGregor, Alessandra Ferri and the Royal Ballet for their bold, modern and innovative treatment of Virginia Woolf's legacy.
