#ballet-nights

Originally, the two-hour shows mixed big names from major ballet companies with young hopefuls performing classical and contemporary pieces, each number preceded by a useful little spiel by Devernay-Laurence in the role of compere and each half of the evening opened with a piano piece played by Ballet Nights' resident pianist Viktor Erik Emanuel. However, as the name indicates, musical performance formed a large chunk of the New Year's Day Concert, and two operatic voices were among the highlights of a slightly up-and-down show.
