Work: Grosse Fuge

A rich mix of pure dance and powerful music shows the company in very fine form towards the end of a demanding season.

Salvatore Viganò's choreography for Beethoven's 1801 ballet Prometheus has not survived, but a trio of creators put their own stamp on the score in Amsterdam.

Opposites Attract was the title chosen to tie three pieces together in Birmingham Royal Ballet’s first triple bill at Sadler’s Wells this week, but that was optimistic: these three were so different in both style and quality that it was hard to find any affinity between them, or any sense of the company as a whole.
