    steve mcrae as oberon

    Sergei Polunin's abrupt departure from the Royal Ballet, last Monday's opening night of The Dream saw Steven McRae assume the lead role of Oberon. Choreographed by Frederick Ashton to music by Mendelssohn, the piece is a balletic rendering of...

    "The Quality of Mercy"

    Erasmus Kemp is a banker, a powerful man, yet trapped in a Dickensian way among his coins, ledgers, account books. The insurance case that propels several chapters centers upon the value, in hard cash, of slaves thrown overboard. Frederick Ashton, the...

  3. The Dream/ Song of the Earth, Royal Opera House, London Without Warning, Old Vic Tunnels, London
    The Independent logo The Independent 1 week ago

    Also young but more slightly built, he seized the role and made it his: fiendishly fleet and pungently feral, if not quite wild. The Dream, a 50-minute contraction of Shakespeare's play, is a fragile thing, delicate as cobweb. The cleverest idea of its...

    Song of the Earth at the Royal Ballet

  7. The Dream, Song of the Earth, Royal Opera House, London
    The Stage logo The Stage 2 weeks ago

    Royal Ballet’s double bill of The Dream and Song of the Earth is a near perfect matching. Frederick Ashton’s gossamer-light interpretation of Shakespeare’s romantic comedy is easy to like and a pleasure to watch, although that doesn’t mean it is easy to...

  8. Rudi van Dantzig
    The Telegraph logo The Telegraph 2 weeks ago

    For the next 20 years he refined the large and somewhat chaotic mission of the DNB by focusing on 20th-century classicists, primarily George Balanchine and Frederick Ashton, and also on new contemporary ballets created by himself, Hans van Manen and...
