    Beautiful ballet: The Royal Ballet performs 'The Two Pigeons'

    This week's Drive Featured Album includes André Messager's music for the ballet 'The Two Pigeons'. The dance work – choreographed by Frederick Ashton – is on at The Royal Ballet this month and here are some of our favourite moments from the production.
