dirac Posted January 2, 2021 Author Share Posted January 2, 2021 A look back at London dance in 2020 by Lynette Halewood for DanceTabs. Quote It all started promisingly. January was busy. English National Ballet celebrated their 70th birthday in great style at the Coliseum, giving us not the usual gala fare but a thoughtfully curated selection of significant works from their history, including more recent commissions from Akram Khan, Annabelle Lopez Ochoa and William Forsythe. It showed off the depth of talent in the company and their run continued with some rollicking performances of Le Corsaire. The Royal Ballet were busy too with their Coppélia supplying some delightful Swanildas in Mayara Magri and Yasmin Naghdi; and in Onegin it was time to say goodbye to Thiago Soares in a finely nuanced performance in the title role. Matthew Bourne’s The Red Shoes entertained audiences at Sadler’s. There was so much to choose from, it was hard to cram it all in. How strange it is to write that now. Link to comment
