La Valse / New Brandstrup / Winter Dreams / Theme and Variations Tickets

The Royal Ballet

15 October to 30 October 2010, Royal Opera House, London

A mixed programme of sheer variety and breadth draws the wonderful potential of ballet into one great event, under the baton of Barry Wordsworth, Music Director of The Royal Ballet. Classic dance in Ashton’s evocative response to Ravel’s haunting La Valse, brings waves of dancers into an elegant ballroom setting. This gives way to the contemporary with the world premiere of a new work by Kim Brandstrup. Royal Ballet Principals, the music of François Couperin refracted through Thomas Adès and film projection are brought together with Brandstrup’s characteristic sense of nuance and suggestion to evoke an intense relationship tinged with the shadow of Louis XI V and Versailles. MacMillan’s focus in Winter Dreams is not the narrative of Chekhov’s Three Sisters, but a portrayal of the psychological passions, ambitions and sorrows of its characters. Tchaikovsky provides the music not just for this, but also for the final work, Balanchine’s technical tour de force, the dazzling Theme and Variations, which brings the whole Company together for a fitting climax.

	07/02/11 - RETURN TO SHEER GRACE AND POISE IN SWAN LAKE With Darren Aronofsky's film Black Swan annoying dance fans with its so-so dance scenes, it's a relief to see a real Swan Lake in all its theatrical and choreographic unity. Having Zenaida Yanowsky in the ballet is also a considerable plus. The senior Royal Ballet dancer has been less seen in recent years, having been away having children, but her performance in the twin Swan Lake lead roles of Odette-Odile proved her absence hasn't stalled her artistry. If anything, her time out has brought a greater range and depth to her dancing and acting. Her Odile, the dark-hearted black swan who deceives the Prince, was especially assured. It's easy to turn the character, and the dancing, into a come-hither vamp who dupes the prince with her blatant sexual availability. The prince, like most men, may be vulnerable to this tactic but he is no fool - and very much in love with the white swan, Odette. Yanowsky's approach is to reel him in with a combination of curve and poise, her back and neck in arching hints of sexual pleasure while her composure combined with a contrived restraint leaves the confused prince especially vulnerable. Running until April 8th at Royal Opera House. See tickets. Source: www.thisislondon.co.uk
