A mixed bill of modern work showcases the diverse talents of The Royal Ballet.

Even if Hubert Parry was overshadowed by Holst and Vaughan Williams, this was a splendid concert of British music. 

The Royal Opera's revival of Phyllida Lloyd's production is marked by two outstanding Verdian singers and a superb rendering of the score from Pappano and the ROH Orchestra.

A series of ill-advised staging choices leads to a disappointingly drab performance of Monteverdi's Homeric epic.

A world premiere that gives yet more credence to the burgeoning reputation of Crystal Pite for creating absorbing mass movement of considerable beauty 

The 2016 Proms come to a riotous close at the Royal Albert Hall.
