DANCE: EVENT OF THE WEEK

Royal Ballet to 31 July

Sadler's Wells, London EC1

The Royal Ballet, giving Giselle on its own, might seem mean in its programming when compared with the Bolshoi's rival version at the Coliseum, which is also restaging Leonid Lavrovsky's historic Paganini. However, those who like an early end to their entertainment are offered Darcey Bussell with Igor Zelensky (Wed), Viviana Durante with Irek Mukhamedov (Thur) and Leanne Benjamin with Carlos Acosta (Fri). Today until Tuesday there is a mixed bill with a revival of Kenneth MacMillan's enigmatic My Brother, My Sisters, Ashley Page's heavy treatment of John Adams's Fearful Symmetries, and at alternate performances, works by Mark Baldwin and William Tuckett.

Sadler's Wells Theatre, London ECl (0171-863 8000) today 2pm & 7pm, Mon-Fri 7.30pm, until 31 July
