Known For
Nutcracker Delights: English National Ballet
English National Ballet has been performing a version of Nutcracker every year since 1950. In 2020, the tradition lives on. Join Clara and her enchanted Nutcracker on a hot air balloon ride to the Land of Snow, and enjoy iconic scenes featuring the Sugar Plum Fairy, Snowflakes, Flowers and more. As London moved into Tier 4 COVID-19 restrictions with the subsequent cancellation of all scheduled performances of Nutcracker Delights, the Company decided to film and share a recording of this specially-adapted production with its audience as a thank you at the close of its 70th Anniversary year. Nutcracker Delights was filmed on 18 and 19 December at the London Coliseum by Michael Nunn and William Trevitt.
Creature
On a remote Arctic research station, a captive creature (played by the English National Ballet’s charismatic principal dancer Jeffrey Cirio) is unwittingly enlisted into a military program that subjects him to sinister experiments. Amid this turmoil, he finds himself enamoured with a cleaner, the only person who shows him kindness; together, these two outsiders dream of escape from their dystopian surrounds.
Genesis
Crystal Ballet’s Genesis is a work telling the stages of a relationship of two lovers, split into four movements danced by some of the world's great classical ballet dancers Sarah Lamb and Steven McRae, award winning Daria Klimentova and Vadim Muntagirov , the wonderful Erina Takahashi and Esteban Berlanga , and talented star couple Alina Cojocaru and Johan Kobborg, choreographed by two leading choreographers, Kim Brandstrup and Ernst Meisner.
