★★★✰✰ Russell Maliphant's 12-minute contribution to English National Ballet's digital season is a mass of contradictions. ...The result is familiar if you know Maliphant's work, but must be mesmerising for viewers who've never seen dancers appear as evanescent as fireflies.
★★★★✰ For those of us that have been involved with the company, no matter how small a part, it is clear that the ‘happy family’ that is English National Ballet, reveres and appreciates all who have been part of its 70 year existence.
★★★★★ "I cannot recall being so moved at a dance performance for a very long time, if ever."

Anna-Marie Holmes’s latest staging of Le Corsaire has proved to be a triumph for English National Ballet...
Despite the frequency with which the work is performed, the company manage to retain a warmth and freshness in their presentation of it.
