麻豆约拍

Ninety years since Dame Ninette de Valois founded what we know now as the Royal Ballet and 75 since her post war production of Sleeping Beauty, Tom Sutcliffe talks to Marianela N煤帽ez, Principal Ballerina at the Royal Ballet about Sleeping Beauty's significance in the Royal Ballet's repertoire, the demands of playing such an iconic role and the challenges of rehearsing at home during lockdown.

We explore The Design Museum in London鈥檚 exhibition, Charlotte Perriand: The Modern Life, It's a retrospective exploring the work of the pioneering designer, who, alongside better known male architects like Le Corbusier, was a defining influence on modernist furniture and interiors. The exhibition charts Perriand鈥檚 journey through the machine aesthetic to her adoption of natural forms, and later from modular furniture to major architectural projects. Design critic Corrine Julius joins us to review.

This weekend the 麻豆约拍 will celebrate 鈥淭he Glastonbury Experience 2021鈥� in place of the cancelled festival. But Latitude has just announced that in just over one month鈥檚 time it will be the first major festival to go ahead this summer. We speak to Festival director Melvin Benn about how they intend to make it work in the current Covid-affected environment.
