Celebrating the achievements of Ballets Russes under Diaghilev's guidance and their continuing influence on dance, art and music today.

A feast for the senses - an authoritative history of the best ballets and the finest ballerinas. As courtesans, fashion icons, political pawns and international celebrities, the great ballerinas have played a multitude of roles both on and off the stage. British prima ballerina Darcey Bussell explores the changing role of the ballerina from 18th-century France to 1950s America.

Darcey Bussell and Roberto Bolle star in Frederick Ashtons Sylvia, restored to the splendour of its elegant and opulent three-act form for the 75th anniversary celebrations of The Royal Ballet.

The Royal Ballet presents a new work based on Mary Shelley's classic gothic novel, Frankenstein. The stellar cast includes Federico Bonelli who dances the role of Doctor Frankenstein, with Laura Morera as his fiancee Elizabeth. Steven McRae stars as the Creature, at once terrifying and tortured, in this spectacular production by the Royal Ballet's Artist in Residence, choreographer Liam Scarlett, with music by Lowell Liebermann. Presented by Darcey Bussell and Ore Oduba. (bbc.co.uk)
