Pigeons scoot through the sky, trees quiver and the sun won’t set. Regent’s Park at solstice season is a dreamy location – especially with the Open Air Theatre’s trio of dream ballets from Rodgers and Hammerstein’s gamechanging musicals of the 1940s.
Drew McOnie, the theatre’s artistic director, is also a choreographer placing dance at the heart of his programme. There’s mentoring for emerging choreographers and a “dance takeover” in July. For the dream ballets, he asks three stars of British dance to tackle one apiece.
