Work: Das Lied von der Erde (Song of the Earth)

The Royal Ballet presents a tremendous double bill of Robbins’s Dances at a Gathering and MacMillan’s Song of the Earth, with inspired casting.

This double bill by The Royal Ballet made for a splendid mix of musical and choreographic magic – Mendelssohn and Ashton, Mahler and MacMillan.

Scottish Ballet’s brief trip south of the border - just two performances - not only brought a company of vital athletic dancers to the capital but also chose the occasion to announce its new artistic director.
