Quint-essential: Five New Ballets
New English Ballet Theatre (NEBT) returns with a programme showcasing five new works from the UK's top choreographic talents. The Royal Ballet's Marcelino Sambe creates his first work for NEBT to the music of Nathan Halpern. The Royal Ballet's Kristen McNally and Valentino Zucchetti return to choreograph new pieces with music by Rachmaninoff performed live, led by emerging pianist Anne Lovett. Daniela Cardim Fonteyne creates a dynamic new piece, highlighting the physicality and youthful energy of the company's dancers, while English National Ballet Associate Artist George Williamson presents Foreign, a new work based on Poet Laureate Carol Ann Duffy's poem and set to Brahms' cello sonata played live on stage.
