Beyond Ballets Russes - Programme 2: World Premiere of new Toer van Schayk work/Apollo/Suite en Blanc - T0712710354English National Ballet celebrates the legacy of the Ballets Russes with performances inspired by some of the troupe's great works. Ballets Russes productions were collaborations with major choreographers, composers, artists and dancers of the time including Pavlova, Picasso, Debussy, Chanel, Matisse, Nijinsky and Stravinsky. The Chanel legacy lives on with Balanchine's Apollo where "The Muses' Lagerfeld tutus are beautiful, and a happy link with the fact that Gabrielle Chanel designed costumes for the Muses in 1928" (The Financial Times). This ballet by George Balanchine - himself a Ballets Russes dancer - is a neo-classical masterpiece which marked the young Balanchine's first collaboration with Stravinsky. Following hit performances by English National Ballet in 2001, Suite en Blanc returns to the London Coliseum. It is a glittering heritage ballet which was choreographed by one of Diaghilev's star dancers Serge Lifar - "as flamboyant and proud, and life-enhancing a confection as any made before or since" (The Independent on Sunday). Toer van Schayk creates a new work especially for this season in the spirit of the Ballets Russes. | |

Beyond Ballets Russes - Programme 1: L'apres-midi d'un/Faun(e)/Firebird/The Rite of Spring - T01315699877English National Ballet celebrates the legacy of the Ballets Russes with performances inspired by some of the troupe's great works. Ballets Russes productions were collaborations with major choreographers, composers, artists and dancers of the time including Pavlova, Picasso, Debussy, Chanel, Matisse, Nijinsky and Stravinsky. This programme sees the World Premiere of a new Firebird choreographed by young British choreographer George Williamson with designs by David Bamber. David Dawson's Faun(e) which was described as 'rapturous' by The Sunday Times, is performed alongside Dawson's inspiration, Nijinsky's L'apres-midi d'un faune which caused huge controversy at its premiere with its hauntingly beautiful Debussy score. The finale is MacMillan's magnificent reworking of the visceral The Rite of Spring. | |

The Snow Queen - T1497801594The Snow Queen is a touching, gothic fairytale which will be lavishly retold by English National Ballet's full Company of dancers with live music from the full Orchestra of English National Ballet. The Snow Queen is a tale about two young friends Kay and Gerda. Eternal winter descends on their land and Kay catches a sliver of the Snow Queen’s shattered magic mirror in his eye. As a result he sees everything in the world as bad and twisted. Mesmerised by the beauty of the Snow Queen, he goes with her to her palace in the far frozen north. Gerda searches the world over to find her friend and with the help of the Gypsies and their reindeer, she makes her way to the Snow Queen’s Palace. Her love for Kay releases him from his spell. The sliver of mirror falls from his eye and the curse of eternal winter is broken.Corporate Sponsor skyARTS. Adapted by Michael Corder (from the fairytale by Hans Christian Andersen).
