Les Rendezvous/The Dream/Rhapsody - T417101068This mixed programme opens with the buoyant Les Rendezvous, a fizzing succession of dances following a group of friends who meet in a park. The Dream, Ashton's witty and tender reimagining of Shakespeare's A Midsummer's Night Dream, follows set to Felix Mendelssohn's gossamer light music. The one-act ballet follows two pairs of mortal lovers, their fates at the hands of Oberon and Titania, the King and Queen of Fairies. Ashton's lyrical masterpiece, Rhapsody, concludes the programme, its explosive jumps and fleet footwork a bravura match for Sergei Rachmaninoff's virtuosic Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini. | |

Danses Concertante S/Different Drummer/Requiem - T417020332The Royal Ballet celebrates the breadth of Principal Choreographer Kenneth MacMillan's one-act ballets. Danses Concertantes, commissioned by Ninette de Valois in 1955, was MacMillan's first major work. An early sign of the incredible artistic output that would follow, the work's critical success spurred MacMillan to abandon performing in favour of choreography. It is followed by Different Drummer, MacMillan's complex and haunting balletic interpretation of Woyzeck, Georg Büchner's play about a soldier's descent into madness. The mixed programme concludes with Requiem, his 1976 work for Stuttgart Ballet, created in memory of its late artistic director, MacMillan's friend and former Royal Ballet dancer and choreographer John Cranko. | |
