Venue: Sadler's Wells London

A very welcome and hilarious return to the UK from Les Ballets Trockadero de Monte Carlo, this time at Sadler’s Wells, they offer familiar and new works.

Carlos Acosta's Don Quixote for Birmingham Royal Ballet returned to Sadler's Wells with polished but low-key interpretations across the board.

Dorrance Dance offer a compelling mix of genres in The Center Will Not Hold – high energy, full of surprises, top quality performances.

A reimagining of Pina Bausch's 1978 Kontakthof by Meryl Tankard brings together eight of the original cast members in a unique and poignant revival.

Solera is a mix of experience and youth blended to create excellent vintage flamenco at London's Sadler's Wells.

English National Ballet presents a double bill of contrasts at Sadler’s Wells with startlingly mixed results, not all positive.

Last seen in London in 2023, Turn It Out with Tiler Peck & Friends made a hugely welcome return with the same programme, differently ordered. 

Sophie Laplane's Mary, Queen of Scots has a lot going for it, visually stunning with a pleasing score, but simplistic and overly rapid storytelling brings it to an underwhelming conclusion.
