Performer: John Cranko

The first Fracci Gala at the Teatro alla Scala celebrates the memory and the stature of a child of the house, who not always considered so in life. 

John Cranko's balletic take on Pushkin approaches its 100th performance by The Royal Ballet, opening this run with a magnificent Tatiana from the Russian star. 

The Staatsballett Berlin closes its season in great style at the Deutsche Oper. Majestically performed, John Cranko's Romeo and Juliet is a still delight of movement and décor.

The reality of the human condition, in both beauty and pain

Dramatic narrative ballets seem to gain in popularity with the Dutch National Ballet, and although Onegin was no tearjerker star ballerina Anna Tsygankova created some beautiful moments.

Lantratov played Onegin with considerable nuance and intensity.
