The Royal Ballet: Swan Lake

Dates: 27.2.2009 to 4.4.2009. Swan Lake is one of the most loved of all classical ballets and one of the most popular in the Royal Ballet repertory. It has that magical combination of Tchaikovsky's music, a compelling story of tragic romance and choreography that allows the very best dancers to show just how impressive they can be. It returns for a second time this Season in Anthony Dowell's romantic production whose designs were inspired by Imperial Russia of 1895, when the ballet was first performed. Against this atmospheric setting, Marius Petipa and Lev Ivanov's choreography provides an opportunity to see great dance partnerships in the leading roles and the whole Company in the dance ensembles. Illuminated by moonlight, the charged solos for the Prince and Odette and her alter-ego Odile, the machinations of Von Rothbart and the colour of a palace ball all combine with glorious music to make for an evening of inspiration and romance.

On stage, seven giant, interlocking forms are assembled and manoeuvred with incredible agility, strength and cunning by fourteen performers from Dalian, China. As the performers climb, balance and vanish into voids, new images are created evoking abstract landscapes, terrifying ravines and skyhigh city towers, they are vivid metaphors for human experience.

Thomas Noone Dance

Dates: 5.2.2009 to 6.2.2009. Two pieces choreographed by Thomas Noone, celebrated in Europe for groundbreaking choreography. Award-winning performance Crush is a dance piece based in absolute austerity. Balancing expression and restraint, describing relationships yet never acting them out, its aim is to make the audience aware of the narrative but avoids any type of mimetic form. The work is inspired by Norwegian author Linn Ullman's Stella Descending. Futil is a beautiful yet haunting duet following a couple and the history of their increasingly polarised relation. Beginning with the end, the piece starts with their separation and rewinds to the initial moment of meeting. Feelings that are expressed by such an extraordinary technique, real and recognisable to anybody' (Catalan Language Newspaper of Catalonia).
