Performer: Melissa Hamilton

A gala to be remembered for the sheer number of stellar performances both in classical music and all forms of dance.

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

The combination of spectacular backdrops and evocative film projections are visually stunning and the dancers are superb, but Wayne McGregor's MaddAddam is difficult to follow.

In a quadruple bill of contemporary works, The Royal Ballet's dancers shine in this diverse programme, creating an immersive experience.

This tenth anniversary revival of Christopher Wheeldon's The Winter's Tale looks as fresh as on the original opening night.

Highs and lows within a glamorous mixed bag of choreography are inevitable when people are travelling from around the world.
