Performer: Marianela Núñez

A showcase presenting the rich diversity of Christopher Wheeldon’s choreography should become a staple in The Royal Ballet's calendar.

A triple bill of works by Balanchine shows off both the dancers’ versatility and his own wide ranging skills as a choreographer. 

Ballet Icons Gala 2025 was the 19th since its inception. One can only applaud the dedication of Olga Balakleets, Founder and Artistic Director, for bringing many of the world’s most eminent dancers.

Ahead of returning to the role of Tatiana in John Cranko's Onegin, Marianela Núñez talks about her love for the ballet, her inspirations and how she copes with pressure.
