chosen another hitherto unknown designer, Julia Treve-' lyan Oman. This time, Ash-ton's choice of music, the well-known Enigma Variations by Elgar, precludes the likelihood of anything very revolutionary in his production, but It Is ruinuui ed that he has one or two surprises in mind. Antony Tudor, a contemporary of Ashton, has created only one work for the Royal Ballet, the poetic, enigmatic "Shadowplay" with its mixture of oriental symbolism and modern French music. Now he is working on another, this time a complete contrast, starring the brilliant young David Wall as the hero who wins three successive heroines in a comedy work to music by Richard Strauss. Also, the Royal Ballet is about a girl forced into marriage with a man she does not love.

Small Companies' Opposition These new productions during the autumn will ensure plenty of interest in the Royal Ballet's repertory, but the smaller companies are putting up some strong opposition. Western Theatre Ballet are presenting a new work by a new choreographer, Ashley Killar, who trained at the Royal Ballet School and danced for a time in the Stuttgart Ballet. Called The Throne, his work is about a jester a with a bitter sting in the tail. Ballet Rambert, for their London season in December, have two new works. One is by John Chesworth, who after a distinguished career as an actor-dancer turned recently to making ballets.

His first was a fascinatinjif although confused study of time as it affects the individual, his second a witty and cynical joke about a menage a trois, and the latest a parable in movement about the possible effects of The Bomb. The new piece will be different again: it is inspired by the Japanese Kabukai Theatre, aoparently has a theme of ritual sacrifice, but is intended to have a poo music accompaniment. Chesworth makes use of some strange mixtures, but manages to make effective theatre out of them. Equally unconventional In his source-material is the American choreographer Glen Tetley, responsible for Rnm-bert's other new work. With his own company in the United States of America, Tetley also stages new productions regularly for a group of like-minded organisations stretching from Utah to Tel-Aviv, and taking in both Ballet Rambert and the similar Netherlands Dance Theatre.

Tetley's recent works for Rambert have included one about personal relationships in a chaotic situation (Free-fall) and-one drawing modern parallels from ancient Assyrian art (Ziggurat.) By JOHN PERCIVAL Ballet critic of The Times, London LONDON. It is not really surprising that what most people think of when they hear the word ballet is a faintly blue-lit stage, girls in tar and tulle, and the sound langourous melodies, probably by Tchailovsky. In Don-don we sometimes complain at an excess of 'Swan "The Sleeping Beauty' and one or two similar works from the nineteenth century romantic tradition. But not only in London, all round the world from San Francisco to Vla-divotok, far more perfor-mancas are given of these old favourites than of any single twentieth century ballet, simply because they are old favourites. If that is the kind of work you want, British ballet happens to do it rather well.

A new production of the 127-year-old Giselle, for instance, was one of the highlights of the Royal Ballet's last season. Staged by Peter Wright (who has also achieved notable successes in Stuttgart and Cologne as well as London), this production was welcomed for the sense of conviction it gave the drama, without in any way losing the style of the traditional dances. Incidentally, it won even more acclaim when two young dancers, both in their first major role, took over the loalmrf narte nt sVmrt nntifP. Dark-eyed, romantically beautiful Margaret Barbieri and the fair-haired, youthfully ardent Nicholas Johnon made an impression that will still talked about years irom now. Two Sleeping Beauties Another of these old classics, "The Sleeping Beauty," 'is having not just one but two new London productions.

Festival Ballet's version, produced by Ben Stevenson, packed the Royal Festival Hall every night for a four-week season. At Christmas, the Royal Ballet replied with their own new staging of the work, again by Peter Wright. But this is only one side of ballet, and a company which danced, nothing but these old works would very soon become a rather stale group of performers. Luckily, there are plenty of people -trying to do something different, and lately they have become more prominent. Ironically, it is two of the oldest generation of English choreographers who have been among the leaders.

Frederick Ashton, the first notable English choreographer, and now director of the Royal after more than forty years of making new ballets, still shows a flair for the latest trends. In "Sinfon-ietta" recently he used psychedelic lighting effects, and in "Jazz Calendar" he introduced a new Pop-art designer, Derek Jarman. For this new work at Covent Garden he has CBC UNIVERSITY CELEBRITY SERIES The Canadian Broadcasting Corporation in association tvith the Faculty of Music ofMcGUl University presents the distinguished pianist If 1 4 MR.
