Summary
English National Ballet returns Rudolf Nureyev’s production of Prokofiev’s tragedy to the stage, featuring the full company performing to the composer's cinematic score.
Why it's fantastic
You will likely recognize the heavy, driving rhythm of the Dance of the Knights from its frequent use on television. This particular production uses Rudolf Nureyev’s intense choreography to tell the famous story, stretching the drama across nearly three hours of vivid storytelling and some of the most cinematic music ever written.
