Venue: Brighton Dome Corn Exchange

An African reimagining of The Rite of Spring, it combines solos that fizz with electric currents and ends with an unforgettable, arresting experience. 

The classy Elias String Quartet brighten the morning with enjoyable Haydn and Mendelssohn, but Britten doesn't sit quite right. 

The Britten Oboe Quartet gave highly engaging and communicative performances of an imaginative and intelligent programme, with cerebral serialism from Elisabeth Lutyens combined with early Elgar, Britten and sublime Mozart to finish.

Les SlovaKs dance collective close Brighton Festival, expertly delivering riotous improvisation with humour and humility, their fantastic performance deserves every moment of the standing ovation it received.

A world première at Brighton Festival: Based on Virginia Woolf's Lappin and Lapinova, new dance theatre work Like Rabbits is a simple, comic and achingly sad tale of falling out of love.
