Reviews

"The Royal Ballet's recent triumphs continue with this exquisite Giselle. Beguiling actress-dancer Alina Cojocaru embraces both Act I's sweet rural girl and the tragic ghost of Act II." (BBC Music Magazine - Giselle)

"Leanne Benjamin is an ideal Swanilda, always alert and fun loving, yet always intelligent." (Musical Opinion - Coppélia)

"Nuñez and Acosta are unsurpassable respectively in the feminine grace and masculine confidence of Ashton’s Lise and Colas, and their mimetic skills are delicious." (BBC Music Magazine - La fille mal gardée)
