Frederick Ashton, Founder Choreographer of The Royal BalIet, was one of the 20th century s most influentiaI choreographers, whose musicaI, subtIe and graceful styIe and extraordinary gift for storyteIIing had a profound impact on the development of British baIlet. This special programme, performed at the RoyaI Opera House to mark the 25th anniversary of Ashton s death, presents five works that showcase his astonishing versatility, from compelling abstract balIets such as the exuberant Voices of Spring and the radicaIly modernist Monotones to the tragic love story Marguerite and Armand, brought to Iife with performances of heart-wrenching intensity (The Observer) by Tamara Rojo and Sergei PoIunin. |
