Royal Ballet Triple Bill

The Royal Ballet performs a mixed bill featuring Frederick Ashton's 'Rhapsody', originally created for Mikhail Baryshnikov. Baryshnikov's virtuosic role is taken up by Steven McRae and Sergei Polunin this time round, which should be worth checking out. Then there's Alastair Marriot's understated 'Sensorium', set to soupy orchestrations of Debussy's 'Préludes' for piano. When it premiered in 2009 it was an elegant vision in aqua and taupe but the choreography seemed to slip through the fingers somehow, bar a sublime duet, danced only to solo piano, that'll have you hooked with its tension, restraint and hold-your-breath intensity. To top it all off there's David Bintley's 'Still Life at the Penguin Cafe', complete with animal costumes.
