		The Royal Ballet presented its new programme of works by David Bintley, Sir Kenneth MacMillan and Sir Frederick Ashton at the Royal Opera House.
		Bintley explained how the whole ballet had been inspired by his vision of the "Fred Step" while he was listening to the music and he told the audience that to this day the ballet remained his most autobiographical ballet.
		And the ballet is a profound and nostalgic reflection of friendship as no other ballet, with the exception of Robbins’"Dances at a Gathering", has ever achieved.

		Ballet is a highly competitive art form in which many suffer due to the decisions of artistic directors, all of whom have preferences for the kind of dancers they like, personally and professionally.
		Similarly, in his first few weeks on board in London, the English ballerina, Sarah Wildor, admired for her lyrical style and acting ability, left the company, knowing that she was not favoured by Stretton.
		London's performing arts scene is, with the possible exception of New York's, the world's biggest and most competitive.

	Birmingham
		It has been on view in Birmingham and on tour for a couple of seasons now; its reputation as a bold and exciting work had preceded it, and it was greeted with a lot of publicity and enthusiasm.
		The drama centres on the love affair between Edward and Gaveston, and it is certainly in the scenes between these two that the ballet has its best moments: but to me it seems as if Bintley, supposedly breaking new ground in the depiction of homosexual love, in fact backs off from any true confrontation.
