\u2019The\u00a0ballet gala has now become a tradition in London: first held in 2006, it gradually turned into one of the highlights of the performing season. Overall, it was another spectacular and celebrated event. The magical evening was then followed by the gala reception and dinner at Savoy.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Every year, the Russian Ballet Icons Gala reminds London audiences of these characteristics by combining classics of great ballet masters and new creations. The 12th edition of the event, entitled In the Steps of the Ballets Russes, pays tribute to Sergey Diaghilev\u2019s legendary troupe, who depicted Russian culture to the rest of the world, and showcased ballet as the result of a collaborative work between composers, choreographers, painters and dancers.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Among the highlights were British-based dancers setting the Russians a challenge: Vadim Muntagirov near the start of the gala and Tamara Rojo at the end, with Sarah Lamb and Steve McRae providing a preview of\u00a0Rubies<\/i>\u00a0in the first half of the evening.\u00a0 Vaganova-trained dancers from St Petersburg glowed as richly as Bolshoi show-offs \u2013 among them Ivan Vassiliev and Maria Alexandrova.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

It\u2019s hard to believe that the Russian Ballet Icons Gala (In the Steps of the Ballets Russes) is now in its 11th year but it is going from strength to strength. This year\u2019s offering, kept closely under wraps, was a tribute to Diaghilev that looked backward, showcased the contemporary and offered something new. Like a box of exotic sweetmeats, old favourites mixed with new challenges, the dancers from major companies near and far all more than ably accompanied by the English National Ballet Philharmonic under the baton of Valery Ovsyanikov.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

From the riches of Ballets Russes\u2019s Imperial Theatre origins to its legacy and inspiration: a generous programme of sixteen party pieces over three and a half hours, an epicurean feast for the balletomane, an eye-opener for the novice.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
