Synopsis
From The Royal Balletβs classical origins in the works of Petipa, to the home-grown choreographers who put British ballet on the world stage, this mixed programme highlights the versatility of the Company. Petipaβs Raymonda Act III is Russian classical ballet summarized in one act, full of sparkle and precise technique, while Ashtonβs Enigma Variations is quintessentially British in every way β from its score by Elgar and period designs by Julia Trevelyan Oman, to Ashtonβs signature style, the essence of British ballet. Concerto, MacMillanβs fusion of classical technique with a contemporary mind, completes a programme that shows the breadth of the Companyβs heritage.
