The Royal Ballet in KENNETH MACMILLAN'S Elite Syncopations
This witty and colourful modern ballet, to the ragtime music of Scott Joplin and his contemporaries, proved particularly popular with the audiences that packed the Tent in Battersea Park during the Royal Ballet's season there, earlier this summer.
It is one of the new works created by Kenneth Macmillan especially for the company, since becoming its director in 1970.
