DANCE: EVENT OF THE WEEK
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Royal Opera House
An evening of premieres provides the Royal Ballet with its first full programme in the re-opened theatre. Britain's finest contemporary choreographer, Siobhan Davies, in her Covent Garden debut, offers A Stranger's Taste, though company choreographer Ashley Page's new piece, Hidden Variables, should be more familiar. Between these comes a selection (varying nightly) of four or five short pieces. John Neumeier has created a duet for Darcey Bussell with Ivan Urban from his Hamburg Ballet specially for the occasion, and Royal Ballet casts will premiere works by William Forsythe and Nacho Duato, while guest dancers bring numbers by international choreographers, including Maurice Bejart, James Kudelka and Twyla Tharp .
Royal Opera House, Covent Garden, London WC2 (0171-304 4000) Wed, 16 Dec, 20 & 21 Jan, 7.30pm; 29 Jan, 7pm
