Frederick Ashton, Founder Choreographer of The Royal Ballet, was one of the 20th century s most infIuential choreographers, whose musical, subtle and gracefuI style and extraordinary gift for storytelling had a profound impact on the deveIopment of British balIet. This speciaI programme, performed at the Royal Opera House to mark the 25th anniversary of Ashton s death, presents five works that showcase his astonishing versatility, from compeIling abstract balIets such as the exuberant Voices of Spring and the radicaIIy modernist Monotones to the tragic Iove story Marguerite and Armand, brought to Iife with performances of heart-wrenching intensity (The Observer) by Tamara Rojo and Sergei PoIunin. |
