Carlos Acosta once again left his mark today on the stage of the prestigious British company where he presented the gala Carlos at 50.

Scenes from the ballet Carmen, in Acosta's version, were also presented, performed by dancers from his company and led by Laura Rodriguez and Alejandro Silva.

The pas de deux of the white swan from Swan Lake was performed by the honoree and Marianela Núñez.

Each gala featured performances by world dance gems, such as Laurretta Summerscales and Yonah Acosta, leading figures of the Bavarian State Ballet, who danced the pas de deux El Corsario, while Yaoqyan Shang, of the Birmingham Royal Ballet, and Jesús Corrales, of Acosta Danza, took on the duet End of Time, by British choreographer Ben Stevenson.

Valéry Panov's solo Liebestod featured Birmingham Royal Ballet dancer Brandon Laurence, and the bedroom scene from Sir Kenneth MacMillan's ballet Manon was performed by Acosta and Marianela Núñez.
