About — The artist
The English National Ballet is a ballet company founded by Alicia Markova and Anton Dolin in 1950. Based at Markova House in South Kensington, London, England.
It is one of the three leading ballet companies in Great Britain. One of the first companies to tour Europe, performing in theatres across the United Kingdom, as well as undertaking international tours and special events. The company employs around 65 dancers and a symphony orchestra. It also has an associated ballet school: the English National Ballet School, which is interdependent with the dance company.
The company regularly stages seasons at the London Coliseum and has been noted for special events held at the Royal Albert Hall, the Concert for Diana, and for producing a new ballet based on the animated television character Angelina Ballerina. The Patron of the English National Ballet is HRH Prince Andrew, Duke of York.
Since September 2012, Spanish dancer Tamara Rojo has been the artistic director.
For the 2013 and 2014 seasons, the English National Ballet produced a new version of the classical ballet El Corsario.
