Raymond Gubby presents Swan Lake

Performed by The Russian State Ballet of Siberia and The Russian State Ballet Orchestra

With an outstanding international reputation for delivering performances of breathtaking and dazzling artistry, the Russian State Ballet of Siberia returns to New Wimbledon Theatre with their production of the most well-loved ballet of them all - Swan Lake. Spectacular sets, beautiful costumes, inspired soloists and the Russian State Ballet Orchestra create an impressive company to deliver a sumptuous feast of superb ballet for the evening.

The greatest romantic ballet of them all, Swan Lake is the immortal love story of a young prince enchanted by a magical swan. Set to Tchaikovsky's hauntingly beautiful music, this full-length classical ballet with its elegant corps de ballet of swans brilliantly showcases the virtuosity of this exhilarating company. A truly unforgettable experience.

It’s no wonder that Swan Lake is one of the most loved of all classical ballets. It has that magical combination of Tchaikovsky’s music, a compelling story of tragic romance and choreography that allows the very best dancers to show just how amazing they can be. This new Royal Ballet Season opens with a revival of Anthony Dowell’s romantic productionwhose designs were inspired by Imperial Russia of 1895, when the ballet was first performed. Against this atmospheric setting, Marius Petipa and Lev Ivanov’s choreography provides an opportunity to see great dance partnerships in the leading roles and the whole Company in the dance ensembles. In its story, Prince Siegfried falls in love with the Swan Queen, Odette, condemned through the evil magic of magician Von Rothbart to transform into a swan by day. After trickery at a palace ball prevents the Prince marrying his new love and restoring her to her true form, tragedy is the only means left to him to finally break the spell. The ethereal forms of the swans, illuminated by moonlight, the charged solos for the Prince and Odette and her alter-ego Odile, the machinations of Von Rothbart and the colour of a palace ball – all combine with glorious music, here under the expert baton of Boris Gruzin, to make for an evening of inspiration and romance.

This is the perfect opportunity to discover The Royal Ballet and classical dance: three entrancing works, a host of Company Principals on stage, the skill of the corps de ballet – and even special pricing for the best seats in the theatre. George Balanchine’s Serenade is a great piece of 20th-century choreography, to a lyrical Tchaikovsky score. It has no plot, but evokes a succession of moods inspired by the music with the engaging patterns and shifting pace that have made Balanchine a true master of the ballet repertory. In contrast, next comes the return after a long absence of L’Invitation au voyage, by the choreographer and former Royal Ballet dancer Michael Corder. The music is a selection of the lovely and atmospheric French songs of Duparc, with the singer on stage, and the lyrical choreography is set against new designs for this revival. The final work returns to Balanchine and to Tchaikovsky, taking its cue from the Imperial Russian style of the choreographer’s youth and set in a grand ballroom. Theme and Variations has dazzling technique for a star ballerina at its centre, complementing the music’s mood, from playful to exultant.

A magician with secrets, an enchanted gift, a battle with the Mouse King, a guiding angel and a visit through the Land of Snow to the Kingdom of Sweets: it must be the seasonal favourite, The Nutcracker. The ballet draws on all the imagination and fantasy of E.T.A. Hoffmann’s story of Christmas eve, when young Clara creeps downstairs for one of her presents, but finds herself instead at the start of a night of magical adventures. The designs for this now classic production create the real world of the 19th-century – even when the Christmas tree magically grows and the toy soldiers come to life to fight the Mouse King! The beautifully coloured imaginings of the fantasy Sugar Garden and its celebratory dances make a fabulous contrast – the Sugar Plum Fairy is just one of the delights you might discover here – and Peter Wright’s production tells the story clearly from its mysterious start to its happy conclusion. Tchaikovsky’s music is some of the most instantly memorable of all ballet, with a wealth of famous melodies. This is classical ballet at its most approachable and visually entrancing, with something for everyone to enjoy, from the youngest in the family to the oldest. It’s a present to unwrap yourself this Christmas for that bit of extra magic.

Kenneth MacMillan’s three-act ballet Manon is not just one of the great showpieces of The Royal Ballet, for whom it was created, but also now of the classical ballet repertory worldwide. The story itself is famous, following the trials of a young girl Manon torn between her impetuous love for the student Des Grieux and her desire for wealth and comfort as a kept woman of a rich man. These two central roles are wonderful showcases for the skill and dramatic power of any dancers, especially with MacMillan’s memorable duets that bring out the emotional currents of the doomed love affair. This time round there will be the extra thrill of catching several debuts in the roles of Manon and Des Grieux from up-and-coming young stars of The Royal Ballet. The stage picture emphasizes the life and look of the 18th century, first through the bustling courtyard of an inn where the couple first meet, later with the louche atmosphere of a Parisian house of ‘entertainment’ and its courtesans. And through it all is appealing and expressive music drawn from Massenet, skilfully woven into a ballet score that alternates between the sensuous and the dramatic. Moral tale and adult themes there may be, but above all Manon offers a chance to enjoy the very best of world-class ballet.

From Monday 4th August 2008, body-popping Britain's Got Talent winner GEORGE SAMPSON will take a leading role in this hit hip-hop stage show for a four-week London run.

George said: “This year is getting better and better. Into The Hoods is funky and young and I love the music. I can’t wait to get dancing on that stage.”

Based on Stephen Sondheim’s 1989 musical, Into the Woods, the hip-hop version follows two children who are lost in the hood. An evil landlord befriends them after they have played truant from school and they are offered a room in his tenement block on the condition they work for him.

Reluctantly the children embark on their mission, which leads them to the flats occupied by Spinderella, where they discover gold Adidas trainers; Lil Red, the owner of a bright red hoodie; Rap-on-Zel, the producer of the finest quality long weave in the city; and Jaxx (who lives in the basement), the owner of a white I-pod.

Kate Prince (Strictly Dance Fever) directs and choreographs Into the Hoods which is performed by 19 adults and nine children (three on stage). Many of the professional dancers have worked with celebrities such as Kylie Minogue, Nelly Furtado, Pink, Black Eyed Peas, Beyonce and Snoop Dogg.

ZooNation performs its trademark street dance/theatre style to music from Gorillaz, Massive Attack, Prince, Stevie Wonder, Kanye West, Jay-Z, Janet Jackson, James Brown, Snoop Dogg, Bob Marley, the Chemical Brothers and others.

They have previously appeared on television in Blue Peter, The Late Edition and Popworld; and made live appearances at events like West End Live, the official Olympic Celebration in Trafalgar Square and the opening ceremony for the Tour de France. They also took part in the hip hop festival Breakin’ Convention at Sadler’s Wells.

Prior to each show, a nightly warm-up will be provided by comedy rap poet Mister Gee.
Into the Hoods is presented in the West End by Phil McIntyre and Adam Speers.
