Macmillan Celebrated DVD

Macmillan Celebrated on DVD showcases three of Kenneth MacMillan's celebrated works: Danses concertantes, Different Drummer and Requiem. This diverse programme shows a glimpse into the choreographers' remarkable artistry, ranging from a vibrant abstract ballet to a deeply moving elegy.

Kenneth MacMillan (1929–92) was the leading choreographer of his generation. Renowned for his full-length dramatic works which dug deep into the human psyche, MacMillan’s creativity knew no bounds.

Wonderful Celebration

What a wonderful celebration! Every ballet a real gem and the whole company is to be congratulated upon putting this evening together. I cannot praise or thank the Royal Ballet highly enough. Thank you everybody for sharing this celebration with us as we cannot get to Covent Garden itself any more.It was very emotional and to end the evening with Requiem in what I can only describe as fantastic and spiritual, particularly that final lift. The pure emotion of it all brought back wonderful memories of my first Manon which still has the power to move me. What a genius, a treasure we have in Macmillan and his legacy Thank you once again Royal Ballet. Would love to think that the 2022 production of Ashtons A Month In The Country would be added to the catalogue of DVD’s.
