Forsythe Company Double Bill - N.N.N.N and Study #3, Sadler's Wells, London

Widely regarded as the most adventurous pioneer in the landscape of classical/contemporary dance fusion, William Forsythe applies the rigorous discipline of the former to explore the latter. His forensic experiments in spatial awareness walk hand-in-hand with an endless inquiry into the aesthetics of sound.

Blackburn International Entertainment Agency Showcase 2013, Bloomsbury, London

Many of the attendees travelled from the USA and the far-east to see what agent Jonathan Blackburn's company had to offer the cruise and corporate entertainment market this time around. This is a starry flagship affair and the novel step of producing the show in a theatre venue seems to have found favour with most, despite the technical difficulties which delayed the planned 7pm curtain. Those waiting patiently were well entertained by a quartet of female magicians. Chicks 'n' Tricks are much in demand at corporate functions and their work did not go unnoticed.

Death in Venice, Coliseum, London

Following successful transfers to Brussels and to La Scala, Milan, Deborah Warner's staging of Britten's last opera returns to the Coliseum for a second run. This is Warner's most impressive opera production, sensitive to the beauty and mystery of the Venetian setting in Tom Pye's suggestive sets and Chloe Obolensky's immaculate period costumes - all subtly lit by Jean Kalman; as well as in the fine individual performances and the movement of ENO's exceptional chorus.
