Your support helps us to tell the story

This election is still a dead heat, according to most polls. In a fight with such wafer-thin margins, we need reporters on the ground talking to the people Trump and Harris are courting. Your support allows us to keep sending journalists to the story.

The Independent is trusted by 27 million Americans from across the entire political spectrum every month. Unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock you out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. But quality journalism must still be paid for.

Help us keep bring these critical stories to light. Your support makes all the difference.

English National Ballet this year follows its traditional Nutcracker season with another seasonal work, Cinderella, featuring choreography by Michael Corder to Prokofiev's music.

Two guest stars, Larissa Ponomarenko (born in the Ukraine and trained at the famous Vaganova Academy in St Petersburg) and the French-born Patrick Armand (a former member of ENB), dance the leads on opening night with a further appearance on Friday. An English dancer almost unknown here, Robert Tewsley, who is one of the Stuttgart Ballet's stars, partners Daria Klimentova Wednesday and Saturday afternoon. Also due to dance the title role are Lisa Pavane with Boris de Leeuw, Agnes Oaks with Thomas Edur and Monica Perego with Dimitri Gruzdyev.

London Coliseum, St Martin's Lane, London WC2 (0171-632 8300) Mon to Sat 16 Jan at 7.30pm, matinees Thur and Sat 16 at 2.30pm.
