Hungarian National Ballet's Spartacus is not short of drama. Combined with Khachaturian's rousing score and some breathtaking dancing, it's a winner.

A simple, noble and dramatic escape from the present day as the company dances Michael Messerer’s updated (slightly shortened) version of the Vainonen classic.

A ballet to be enjoyed for its visual spectacle, strong and purposeful choreography and a pacy momentum that builds into a rousing finale.

In addition to providing a showcase for the principals, the ballet provides ample opportunity for the company's soloists to shine.

The Hungarian Nation Ballet presents a stunning programme in which Kyliàn's Black and White masterpieces are paired with Lander's polished Études.
