English National Ballet give a meticulous account of Mary Skeaping's glorious Giselle.

Akram Khan's Giselle becomes ever more watchable with every viewing. A rollercoaster version of the traditional classic.

Christopher Wheeldon's Cinderella in-the-round is an immersive experience in the grand ballroom scene but the romantic duets are robbed of an essential intimacy.

Creature is not an easy watch, but English National Ballet give memorable and compelling performances throughout.

Ek's second, very different take on Stravinsky's Rite crowns an English National Ballet triple bill extolling the pure joy of dance and exposing the terror of forced marriage. 

Petipa's classical choreography and Glazunov's ravishing score fuse with a reimagined narrative and bold choreographic additions to create a new Raymonda for the 21st century.
