Carlos Acosta - Apollo and Other Works

Indisputably one of the greatest male dancers of his generation, Carlos Acosta has thrilled audiences throughout the world with his breathtaking performances which include principal roles in nearly every ballet in the classical repertoire.

For this exclusive programme of classic and modern works he follows in the footsteps of such giants as Nijinsky and Nureyev, exploring the nature of the male muse in classical ballet.

"Carlos Acosta has always appeared to dance to a more exhilarating rhythm than most; to reflect a hotter, brighter light"
THE GUARDIAN

The programme includes George Balanchine’s Apollo, set to Igor Stravinsky’s timeless score, plus Jerome Robbins’ A Suite of Dances (featuring cellist and former BBC Young Musician of the Year winner Natalie Clein), and Afternoon of a Faun – all performed by Acosta, alongside a company of awe-inspiring dancers; Begoña Cao, Erina Takahashi, Daria Klimentova and Junor de Oliveira Souza.

This spectacular evening also presents a specially commissioned new work entitled Young Apollo by choreographer Adam Hougland, set to music by Benjamin Britten and performed by a full live orchestra, making this an absolute must-see event this December.
