      1. Romeo and Juliet at the Royal Opera House

      With Kenneth MacMillan’s first full-length work for The Royal Ballet, both he and the Company struck artistic gold – the June performances at The O2 Arena once more proved the ballet’s enduring hold over audiences. The Royal Ballet now bring this acclaimed production to Covent Garden. Photo: Dee Conway

      There are noble families and their feuds, sword fights and harlots, the informality of youthful friendship and the formality of power and wealth. Photo: Dee Conway
