Thirty years on, Maillot’s reading of Shakespeare retains a certain timelessness, not least for its refreshing refusal to depict the action literally. Les Ballets de Monte-Carlo dance it supremely well.

A deeply psychological version of the fairytale, Jean-Christophe Maillot's Cendrillon provides ample opportunities for the whole cast to delve into their characters and rise to the technical challenges.

After a more traditional direction from the new leadership of Ballett am Rhein in their season opener, new programme Kaleidoskop is a mixed selection that sees a fusion of contemporary and neoclassical choreography. 

Les Ballets de Monte-Carlo presents three equally riveting ballets in a triple bill of abstract works from Christopher Wheeldon, Sharon Eyal/Gai Behar and Jean-Christophe Maillot.

Full of invention and originality, this up-to-date version of The Sleeping Beauty is entertaining and emotionally absorbing.
