The atmosphere was opulent, sumptuous, and intimate. The ballet \"Elizabeth\" combines a beautiful dance with text readings and music, and is based on the love and life of Queen Elizabeth I, who reigned in England during Shakespeare's reign. The ballet was first performed in 2013, but was revived in 2016 as part of the \"Shakespeare 400\" event to commemorate the 400th anniversary of Shakespeare's death. The enchanting dances of Yanofsky and Acosta, both principals, are complemented only by the actors' readings, cellos, and songs. There are only seven performers, including musicians.Acosta appears as various men surrounding the queen, wearing different costumes and carefully portraying the characters' personalities. Yanofsky, in the role of the Queen, portrays the dignity of the Queen, her emotions as a woman, and her loneliness in a dignified manner. The actors read the text of the period, including the text of the queen herself. The music, while original, is also impressive, imitating the music of the time. Another highlight is the Tudor-era costumes by Fullerton, the Royal Ballet's veteran costume designer, which were designed to be easy to dance in while preserving the historical facts. The performance, which enthralled all audiences, was highly acclaimed by British newspaper reviews.
