Two Pigeons Posted January 1, 2017 Share Posted January 1, 2017 What a loss! I really love most of his work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alison Posted January 1, 2017 Share Posted January 1, 2017 Very sad. Not only did he create the numerous La Sylphides which Johan mentions, but of course he's also responsible for the current Royal Ballet Sleeping Beauty, along with many many other works.

capybara Posted January 1, 2017 Share Posted January 1, 2017 Very sad. Not only did he create the numerous La Sylphides which Johan mentions, but of course he's also responsible for the current Royal Ballet Sleeping Beauty, along with many many other works. ....and the current ENB Nutcracker. I remember him speaking at an Insight event prior to opening night. Such an interesting and self-effacing man.

SusanR Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 So very sad to hear this. I met Peter many times. He was such a humble man with a wicked sense of humour. He gave me a pair of pointe shoes from Russia & a book signed by Anton Dolin & John Curry, which I treasure. Rest in peace, Peter. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
