Dance preview: English National Ballet: City Of London Festival Concert, London

St Paul's Cathedral, EC4, Tue

ENB takes up residence in the vaulting spaces of St Paul's Cathedral to present a one-off concert of new and classic work. Reprising some of the repertory performed in ENB's earlier Ballets Russes season, Elena Glurdjidze dances Fokine's solo, The Dying Swan, wearing the tutu created specially for her by Chanel's Karl Lagerfeld. Heading the cast of Les Sylphides will be golden couple Thomas Edur and Agnes Oaks, giving their last ever performances with the company before returning to their native Estonia where Edur becomes the new artistic director of the National Ballet. To mark his retirement, Edur's also choreographed a new work, set to a score including music by Arvo Pärt. Completing the programme are several orchestral interludes, among them Peter Maxwell Davies's An Orkney Wedding, With Sunrise, complete with bagpipes.
