Bringing Ashton from Florida to The Royal Opera House sounds like “coals to Newcastle” but I think that “discovering buried treasure” might be a more appropriate idiom.

The Sarasota Ballet continues to make a deep impression with its second programme of Ashton ballets, this time including a selection of divertissements and excerpts from longer ballets.

An excellent and diverse triple bill with an Ashton gem at its centre.
