An emotional rollercoaster showcasing the choreographic genius of Sir Kenneth MacMillan.

Stars from the Royal Ballet and Birmingham Royal Ballet perform excerpts of 15 works in Tokyo, showcasing British ballet's rich and exciting repertoire

With all the new works put on by The Royal Ballet this year, we haven’t seen as much of Kenneth MacMillan’s choreography as usual. This triple bill of mid-century works is an in-your-face reminder of what an omission that is: Concerto, Las Hermanas and Requiem show MacMillan at his versatile best, and The Royal Ballet are on top form to match.

There are triple bills ---and there are triple bills. And this one –the first of The Royal Ballet’s 2011/12 season -- is certainly a top rate one.The programme, put together by Artistic director Monica Mason in her final year at the helm, gives an historical glimpse into the foundations and creative growth of The Royal Ballet over the years.

Eine würdige Premiere zur Erinnerung an den großen Cranko. Die bewundernswerte Elisa Badenes prägt den Abend.
