Dix ans après la disparition du chorégraphe français Roland Petit, formé à l’école de danse de l’Opéra de Paris, l’institution lui rend hommage dans un programme en trois parties.

Carlos Acosta's Carmen is full of exuberance and first class dancing but it doesn't quite set the stage on fire. 

With five founding dancers in BRB2, this inaugural dance salad was embellished with other ingredients including the addition of seven members from the main company. 

A slick and stylish celebration at the Coliseum of this great company's achievements over 70 years.

Northern Ballet reaches its half-century with a gala at Leeds Grand Theatre featuring highlights from its "greatest hits".

For three decades, Acosta has given his audiences performances of pure pleasure. As someone who had to work against the odds to reach the top, he became one of those rare classical ballet dancers whose brilliance and incredible technical achievements, wrapped up with convincing characterisation and humble charisma, have set stages alight around the world.

A youthfully fresh corps and Victor Estévez hold together this uneven double bill, with Acosta’s troubled Carmen demonstrating the challenges of adapting opera to ballet.

La CND presenta en Madrid Carmen, del coreógrafo Johan Inger, en un nuevo enfoque del mito de la cigarrera que ha ganado el premio Benois de la Danse. Los bailarines Daan Vervoot y Kayoko Everhart dan vida magistralmente a los protagonistas y la Orquesta Sinfónica Verum acompaña desde el foso.

Danza Contemporánea de Cuba returned to Sadler’s Wells with a splash of colour and a burst of energy in a triple bill that was physical, sharp and flirty. Unfortunately I missed the first work performed, Itzik Galili’s Sombrisa, but the night was not a loss.

It was one of those ‘I was there’ moments that will be remembered always by a lucky few. Ivan Vasiliev’s single guest performance with English National Ballet in Le Jeune Homme et le Mort was one of startling brilliance, of great power and heartfelt emotion for his purpose in performing was to offer his own personal tribute to the late Roland Petit.

ENB’s highly anticipated triple bill of works by the French master craftsman Roland Petit was tinged with sadness when the news of his death was announced on July 10th at the age of 87. He had hoped to oversee the rehearsals and attend the UK premiere. Instead, however, the London season became a powerful tribute to him, one of the greatest choreographers of the 20th century.

Ditch the February blues and treat yourself to a thrilling performance of some of the finest flamenco you may ever witness with a visit to see Aida Gomez and her company perform Carmen. Gomez is one of Spain’s most celebrated dancers. She was the youngest ever Director of the Spanish National Ballet and her talent and that of her company is unmistakable.
