Diavolo: Architecture In Motion Presents L.O.S.T.

“I missed dress applause!” Renée Fleming returns to live performance in style with a recital alongside pianist Inon Barnatan. 

Dancers tip-toed in stately procession, while alternately molding into aggressive gnarled warriors, images familiar from amphorae; they presage a clash of forces of destruction, the unfolding of a love story, and a sorcerer’s ravenous desire for control.

The BalletBoyz present an entertaining programme of old and new works spanning the last 25 years – with stellar performances.

A stupendous London debut from Tulsa Ballet in which they present a contrasting triple bill. It bodes well for further invitations to dance in the UK.

A triple bill including Tiler Peck’s newest ballet for NYCB, does not entirely work. Too much blue light and sadness for one program.

Ballet isn’t always pretty, there are plenty of examples in repertoires across the world. John Neumeier’s Streetcar Named Desire (Endstation Sehnsucht) is to reach another level of grim but gripping brutality told through dance.
