Performer: John Cranko

Ballo del Teatro dell’Opera di Roma gives an exemplary account of John Cranko’s masterpiece Romeo and Juliet, with convincing characterisations and technical prowess.

American Ballet Theatre's Onegin is deliciously dramatic and a stunning visual feast. 

This revival of Romeo and Juliet combines vivid staging and technical leads, but the lover's careful partnership lacks the volatility that makes young love convincing and tragedy believable. 

Natalia Osipova, a seasoned Tatiana, is joined by Lukas B Brændsrød, making his debut as Onegin in the summer return of John Cranko's take on Pushkin's classic verse novel. 

The welcome revival of a borrowed jewel in The Royal Ballet's treasure chest of story ballets.   

Two very promising debuts in the lead roles and good performances in the supporting roles, made this an enjoyable Onegin.

The artistic director of the Czech National Ballet talks passionately about taking responsibility for tradition, the importance of having classics in the repertoire, and how he cannot live without music.
