More great photos to accompany my review of Tulsa Ballet’s Made in America programme, which opened at the Linbury Theatre last evening. Click link for review gramilano.com/2026/05/review…

Amazing photos accompany my review of Giselle by Rodolfo Castellanos (and Yolanda Correa) for the National Ballet of Brno in the beautiful Mahen Theatre, starring Ksenia Ovsyanick, Alejandro Virelles, Se Hyun An and Ilia Mironov. gramilano.com/2026/05/review…

Still catching up….. my review of Alchemies - a triple bill of work by Sir Wayne McGregor to celebrate his 20 years as Resident Choreographer at The Royal Ballet for BTheremagazine. btheremagazine.co.uk/the-royal-ball…

Catching up with reviews from last week - here is my review of Les Ballets Trockadero de Monte Carlo at Sadler’s Wells, featuring the irrepressible Robert Carter in what seems likely to be his farewell performances in London. bachtrack.com/22/296/view/30…

Very excited to see this cast in the opening night of Rodolfo Castellanos’ production of Giselle at by the National Ballet of Brno - it will be wonderful to see Ksenia Ovsyanick (as Giselle), Alejandro Virelles (Albrecht), Ilia Mironov (Hilarion) and Se Hyun An (Myrthe).

Flying to Copenhagen to experience Akram Khan’s Lady Macbeth for Royal Danish Ballet - it’s a three-city trip - Copenhagen - Vienna - Brno !

26 pages devoted to The Royal Ballet’s Summer tour to Japan including 3️⃣ pieces by yours truly being reviews of Giselle and Woolf Works and a feature on the stars to watch out for in Japan and interviews with Marianela, Vadim, Fumi, William, Rio & Steven

Wow! Astonishing news that Francesca Velicu - one of the loveliest dancers in the UK today - is leaving English National Ballet to join London City Ballet. What a loss for the former and what a coup by Chris Marney for LCB! It really shows that this nascent company means business
