Agnes Oaks and Thomas Edur — Celebration

Archived Show

One of ballet’s great partnerships, Agnes Oaks and Thomas Edur have been dancing with English National Ballet since they were newly-married in 1990. Winners of numerous awards including Best Couple at the International Ballet Competition, an Olivier Award and the Unique Partnership Award from the Critics’ Circle, their careers have spanned the ballet repertoire. This one-off celebration gala provides a unique opportunity to see Edur and Oaks and dancers of English National Ballet performing pieces chosen by this extraordinary partnership to reflect their lives in dance.

"The symbiosis of their artistry is uncanny. I can't think of a partnership in Britain today that even comes close"
