The Kirov Ballet
Royal Opera House, London July 18 - 30, 2005
'La Bayadere'
by Cassandra
In the end, it all comes down to the dancing, and in the four performances I saw there were four pairs of lovers to enjoy and compare. On the first night, Daria Pavlenko made a soulful, sorrowful Nikiya, partnered by Kirov golden boy Leonid Sarafanov as the unfaithful Solor.

'La Valse', 'Prodigal Son', 'Ballet Imperial'
by Lyndsey Winship

Northern
Ballet Theatre's David Nixon on 'Dracula'
by
David Mead
When I read “"Dracula"

story than you often think. I got interested in how I might
be able to do it. It's a horror story but at the same time there's
something else there and that fascinated me.

by Catherine Pawlick -- August 4, 2005, Mariinsky Theatre, St. Petersburg
Created first in 1969 for the Bolshoi
Ballet, "Spartacus" is set to Aram Khachaturian's powerful

 Mats
Ek's 'The Merchant of Venice'
by Renee Oberg -- July 21, 2005, Royal Dramatic Theatre, Stockholm
"The Merchant of Venice" is,
when you think about it, the obvious choice for Mats Ek. It deals
with a subject that is almost his trademark, the life of the outsider.
In "The Merchant" we meet plenty of them...

What defines "One of a Kind?"
