<BR>A hit for the Royal Ballet's Mixed Bill with a programme of great richness which includes masterworks from Ashton, MacMillan and Tudor. Both Judith Mackrell and Debra Craine wax lyrical, although they select different works to focus on, which underlines the depth of the programme. Looks like a 2 hour queue for me to get a day ticket. <P>Judith Mackrell in The Guardian:<P> <A HREF="http://www.guardianunlimited.co.uk/reviews/story/0,3604,406432,00.html" TARGET=_blank>http://www.guardianunlimited.co.uk/reviews/story/0,3604,406432,00.html</A> <P>Debra Craine in The Times: <P> <A HREF="http://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/0,,45530,00.html" TARGET=_blank>http://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/0,,45530,00.html</A> <P><p>[This message has been edited by Stuart Sweeney (edited March 04, 2002).]

Clement Crisp on the Mixed Bill. He finds much to admire, especially in the final 3 works:<P><BR> <A HREF="http://globalarchive.ft.com/globalarchive/articles.html?id=001214000687&query=clement+crisp" TARGET=_blank>http://globalarchive.ft.com/globalarchive/articles.html<BR>?id=001214000687&query=clement+crisp</A>
