Concerto DSCH… is a perfect closing number. A quite delicious, sensual central pas de deux is bookended by jaunty, fun and upbeat movements.
A triple-bill of Balanchine’s Serenade, Forsythe’s In the Middle, Somewhat Elevated, and the new Strangelove by Andonis Foniadakis
While the company has always projected a sense of excitement and even danger… alas, little was evident in this quadruple bill.

The energy and courage of the dancers is a joy to watch and director David Halberg has a company to be proud of
Jewels, to coin a phrase, is a gem. Each of the three ballets… is distinct in style, mood and music… each is exposing too.
An evening that oozed warmth. Of the ten ballets and excerpts presented in this birthday celebration, Acosta appears in five.
An exciting evening for the English National Ballet School… back on track as a quality professional ballet school after a couple of difficult years.
A huge welcome back for Apollo, remarkably now only five years from the hundredth anniversary of its creation
ENB’s 2023-24 season will feature new ballets by Andrea Miller and David Dawson, plus the UK premiere of Johan Inger’s Carmen.
