The star of the night must surely have been Steven McRae in the first work - Rhapsody, with choreography by Ashton to music by Rachmaninoff. This was followed by the premiere of a new piece choreographed by Wayne McGregor, entitled Tetractys - The art of fugue. It featured tube lighting design by Tauba Auerbach, in the mould, I thought, of Dan Flavin. The piece itself felt less engaging than Rhapsody, even though McRae was also in the company. The final piece, Gloria by Kenneth MacMillan to the music of Poulenc was a suitably sombre evocation of WWI.
Needless to say Clement Crisp did not like the McGregor piece!
