Three years after the centenary of the legendary Ballets Russes, the interest in Serge Diaghilev\'s groundbreaking troupe shows no signs of waning. English National Ballet is again restaging a number of Ballets Russes works alongside new creations inspired by them. The first programme (Mar 22-27) includes Nijinsky\'s once controversial \'L\'apres midi d\'un faune\', followed by David Dawson\'s \'Faun(e)\', a contemproary interpretation of Debussy\'s music. Then there\'s a new \'Firebird\', with Stravinsky\'s score reinterpreted by young British choreographer George Williamson - his first major commission - and Kenneth MacMillan\'s \'Rite of Spring\', with new costumes by British fashion designer Kinder Aggugini. The second programme (Mar 28-Apr 1) features the classical bravura of Serge Lifar\'s \'Suite on Blanc\', Balanchine\'s brilliant \'Apollo\', a recreation of Nijinsky\'s \'Jeux\', with music by Debussy and an extract from \'Le Train Bleu\', a piece created by Nijinsky\'s sister Bronislava, with costumes by Coco Chanel.
