Pomp and Circumstances offers three very different ballets. David Bintley's ever-popular and much-loved 'Still Life' at the Penguin Café, last seen in London in 2001, features a varied, amusing and touching array of creatures seeking shelter from the storm. The programme is completed with George Balanchine's stunning abstract dance piece Serenade and Frederick Ashton's Enigma Variations, which brings Edward Elgar and his friends to life in dance.
About The Coliseum
Until the recent restoration project, no substantial programme of repair has been carried out on this historic London landmark since it first opened its doors in 1904. The London Coliseum, which is London's largest theatre, is cited as being architect Frank Matcham's crowning achievement. In its 100 year history it has played host to many forms of entertainment, including horse races, musicals, variety, cinema and, since 1968, opera.
