Various - Concerto / Engima Variations / Raymonda Act III

From The Royal Ballet�s 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. Petipa�s Raymonda Act III is Russian classical ballet summarized in one act, full of sparkle and precise technique, while Ashton�s Enigma Variations is quintessentially British in every way � from its score by Elgar and period designs by Julia Trevelyan Oman, to Ashton�s signature style, the essence of British ballet. Concerto, MacMillan�s fusion of classical technique with a contemporary mind, completes a programme that shows the breadth of the Company�s heritage.
