Venue: Royal Opera House, Covent Garden, London

A revelatory orchestral performance and a cast led by Andreas Schager, Christopher Maltman and Elisabeth Strid make this a Siegfried for the record books.

A last minute injury to Natalia Osipova does not mar the magic of Sir Peter Wright's Giselle as Marianela Núñez steps in to partner Patricio Revé. 

Ballet Black presents a double bill at the Linbury that showcases the strengths of its very fine dancers as well as the depth of choreographic innovation in its vast repertoire.

Sir Peter Wright’s Giselle was given a well-deserved, thunderous ovation on opening night. A near perfect rendition of the ballet from all quarters of the Company was deeply satisfying.

Another cast debuts in Glen Tetley's Pierrot Lunaire and shows us that, more than 60 years on, it's every bit as watchable as when it premiered.

The Royal Ballet marks the centenary of the birth of Glen Tetley with a revival of his greatest work, Pierrot Lunaire, not seen at the Royal Ballet and Opera for nearly 20 years.

The second revival of Richard Jones' staging of Mussorgsky's original 1869 version of Boris Godunov once again stars the Welsh knight. 

Paul Taylor Dance Company's second programme at the Linbury is an invigorating, uplifting, refreshing mix of easily digestible, pure dance.
