Junior Ballet Iris ch: Douglas Lee/Solitude ch: Christian Spuck/Bellulus ch: Stephan Ashton In Birmingham, BRB are offering a triple bill of three early Ashton ballets and the ever-enduring La Fille mal gardée in June. Under the umbrella title Darkness and Light, the programme comprises the poignant Dante Sonata, created at the height of World War II; Les Rendezvous, Ashton’s first major work for the the Vic Wells Ballet; and the light-hearted Façade, inspired by Edith Sitwell’s nonsensical poetry. In London, the Royal Ballet is reviving Rhapsody in February and The Dream in May. The Dream can also be seen in Amsterdam, danced by the Dutch National Ballet in March. In Florida, where former Royal Ballet dancer Iain Webb directs the Sarasota Ballet, the company is presenting four Ashton ballets during the season: company premieres of Illuminations and Sinfonietta, and revivals of Monotones I & II and Birthday Offering. Boston Ballet has Ashton’s Cinderella programmed in March. In New York, ABT will give A Month of the Country in November, while the National Ballet of Canada will be performing the same ballet in February. Thoss 14/12.
