All the enchantments of summer are here in a glorious selection of dance and music, as English National Ballet presents highlights from their repertoire.

Dancing fireworks come from classics like Swan Lake, Sleeping Beauty and Le Corsaire; a passionate duet from Broken Wings (Annabelle Lopez Ochoa's ballet on the life of Frida Kahlo) and joyous steps from Coppelia.

There are moments of reflection and tenderness in extracts from Akram Khan's Dust and Ben Stevenson's Three Preludes, set to Rachmaninov's beautiful music.

The programme hits fever pitch with William Forsythe's Playlist (Track 1, 2), a high-energy work set to neo-soul and house music.

Approximate run time: 90 mins.
