The Royal Ballet Live

MacMillan, Concerto
Ashton, Enigma Variations
Nureyev after Petipa, Raymonda Act III (Encore)

From The Royal Ballet’s classical origins in the works of Marius Petipa, to the home-grown choreographers who put British ballet on the world stage, this mixed programme highlights the versatility of the Company.

Petipa’s Raymonda Act III is Russian classical ballet summarized in one act, full of sparkle and precise
technique, while Ashton’s Enigma Variations is quintessentially British in every way – from its score by
Elgar and period designs by Julia Trevelyan Oman, to Ashton’s signature style, the essence of British
ballet. Concerto, MacMillan’s fusion of classical technique with a contemporary mind, completes a
programme that shows the breadth of The Royal Ballet’s heritage.
