Live, Video: Find classical music concert, opera, ballet and dance reviews | Woolf Works

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.   

An event that will be long-remembered for the importance of the occasion, if not for its content. 

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.

A fascinating collaborative, creative effort combines to make this the most important new work to enter the repertoire of The Royal Ballet, thus far, in the twenty-first century

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