Live, Video: Find classical music concert, opera, ballet and dance reviews | Howard Harrison

A thoroughly enjoyable and brilliantly performed version of Rossini's great comic opera at the Sydney Opera House. 

Junior soloist Ivana Bueno steps in at short notice to make her debut as Odette/Odile at the Royal Albert Hall with English National Ballet. It augurs well for her future.

Derek Deane's Swan Lake in-the-round makes a welcome return to the Royal Albert Hall. With the challenges of 360º scrutiny, English National Ballet rise triumphantly to each and every hurdle.

Bourne's Edward Scissorhands may not have quite the dramatic impact of his Romeo and Juliet or Swan Lake, but there is much to applaud and enjoy.

Deane has created a production that respects the tradition of Swan Lake without unnecessary embellishment.

A triumphant revival against all the odds as Sir Matthew Bourne's Sweetieland festivities return – briefly – to the stage.
