Carlos Acosta is to perform with the Ballet Nacional de Cuba for the first time in the UK next year, as part of the Spring Dance at the London Coliseum season.
It will mark both the first time the Cuban company has performed at the London Coliseum and the first time Acosta has performed with the whole company in the UK.
Founded and directed by Alicia Alonso, Ballet Nacional de Cuba is world-renowned for its technique. Acosta was Alonso’s student before beginning his international career. The company will perform two programmes as part of the season from March 30 to April 11, 2010 - Magia de la Danza, a mixed bill which brings together extracts from seven of the company’s most famous ballets and Swan Lake. Carlos Acosta will perform with the company on 30 March 30 and April 1,7 and 8.
The 2010 Spring Dance at the Coliseum season will also include performances from Mark Morris Dance Group and Birmingham Royal Ballet. Mark Morris Dance Group will return to London to present L’Allegro, il Penseroso ed il Moderato for the first time in ten years.
Following a debut season in 2009, Birmingham Royal Ballet will return next year to present Sleeping Beauty.
The season is produced by Askonas Holt, Raymond Gubbay and Sadler’s Wells.
