The Batsheva Dance Company opened a 10-day season at the Royal Festival Hall Monday night almost 10 years after its British debut at the Bath Festival. With them are Valery and Galina Panov, the former Leningrad Kirov dancers, who settled in Israel four years ago after world-wide efforts to secure their emigration.
The Company’s first London appearance is part of the celebrations of Israel’s 30th anniversary. Last night’s gala performance was attended by hundreds of British politicians and representatives of the arts, who were guests of Israeli Ambassador Avraham Kidron.
