Carlos Acosta adapts and will dance the lead role in Carmen, his hugely anticipated new ballet on Bizet’s tragic tale of jealousy and desire; Liam Scarlett's Viscera features similarly audacious choreography; Jerome Robbins' seductive Afternoon of a Faun is set to Debussy; George Balanchine’s Tchaikovsky Pas de deux, is a breathtaking display of bravura and technique.

It's the common practice in Hollywood of late, sometimes offering us victorious reimagining of what can be considered cinematic classics while also, more often, falling flat on their UN-imaginative faces in utter defeat and lackluster results.
