Ballet is back, and itâs the little things Iâve missed. The slap of a sole on the floor, the skitter of a pointe shoe. That sudden intake of breath before a leap. The swoosh of a turn. Those tiny sounds of effort and release are signifiers of the bigger thing that makes live dance unique: its ability to embody a wide range of emotion in a tangible form.

It is a statement of intent that the Royal Balletâs first show back for 2021 is focused on living creators, not classics from the vaults. Weâre starting afresh, and the dancers are full of hunger and finesse, diving into new vocabularies and ways of storytelling.
Christopher Wheeldonâs well-loved Within the Golden Hour is a safe opener, with its twinkling costumes, the minimalist swell of Ezio Bossoâs score and the kind of dance you can melt into â in Francesca Hayward and Valentino Zucchettiâs serenely slow pas de deux you can almost hear your heartbeat decelerating. But the rest of the programme suggests artistic director Kevin OâHare is interested in things beyond pure beauty.
