Taking inspiration from the ground-breaking spirit of Florence Nightingale and the women who supported the war effort in Crimea, Tamara Rojo, Artistic Director of English National Ballet, creates a new version of the classic story ballet,  Raymonda.
England, 1854. Raymonda runs away from her comfortable life to become a nurse in the Crimean War. There, she becomes engaged to a soldier, John, but soon develops feelings for his friend Abdur, a leader of the Ottoman army. As turmoil grows around and inside her, who will she give her heart to?
Starring a huge cast of dancers and a full orchestra, this lavish adaptation keeps the best of the 19th-century original - its glorious and sensuous score by Alexander Glazunov and the classical choreography of ballet genius Marius Petipa - and updates it with a dramatic new story.

Love both the traditional Raymonda and this new production. This was very different - imaginative and innovative; The spareness of the costumes and decor added beauty to the whole effect rather than taking away from it. I didn't think I would enjoy this version at first but I loved it! Well done Tamara!
