Isabella Gasparini (Danses Concertantes); Giacomo Rovero (Danses Concertantes); Sae Maeda (Danses Concertantes); Valentino Zucchetti (Danses Concertantes); Ashley Dean (Danses Concertantes); Marcelino Sambé (Woyzeck (Different Drummer)); Francesca Hayward (Marie (Different Drummer)); Sarah Lamb (Requiem); William Bracewell (Requiem); Melissa Hamilton (Requiem); Joseph Sissens (Requiem); Mariko Sasaki (Requiem)
From a kaleidoscopic abstract ballet to a poignant elegy, celebrate Kenneth MacMillan’s endless invention in three works.
Kenneth MacMillan (1929–92) was the leading choreographer of his generation. Renowned for his full-length dramatic works which dug deep into the human psyche, MacMillan’s creativity knew no bounds. His one-act works also reshaped the collective identity of The Royal Ballet, challenging the art form to reflect real-life emotions, passions and human frailty. In three varied works, this mixed programme offers a taster of MacMillan’s exceptional craft.

"This trio of works by one of ballet’s all-time greats shows off both him, and the company for which they were made, to marvellous effect. ... Francesca Hayward acts the hell out of Woyzeck." (The Telegraph ★★★★)
"The direction for video has been very ably executed by Ross MacGibbon… All three of these ballets will certainly offer enlightening new perspectives… well advised to snap up this new release without undue delay" (Musicweb International)
