Viscera / Carmen DVD (The Royal Ballet)

Viscera / Carmen DVD (The Royal Ballet) showcases a mixed bill contrasting ballets for The Royal Ballet. 

Electrifying and sensual, Scarlett opens with Viscera; Robbin offers a magnificent response with Afternoon of a Faun to Debussy's dreamy Prélude à l'après-midi d'un faune; a virtuosic display of excellence, Tchaikovsky Pas de deux stuns in miniature Balanchine's neoclassical style; and a grand finale of the burning Carmen by Acosta - his farewell performance with The Royal Ballet, making this Don José a timeless favourite.
