    The print copy of today's Times has an advert for the cinema showing of Swan Lake on page 3 - very simple but quite eye catching - you notice it as soon as you turn the page: about half a column - SWAN LAKE and a photo of Naghdi, enough to intrigue someone into reading the smaller print. Don't think they've done this before?

    But what a sad day for Copenhagen, to see their lovely dragon spire go down in flames.

    This one works for me: https://kglteater.dk/en/campaign/ballet-sason-20242025?section=56370 (in English) General booking opens August 14th

    This?

    I think they didn't sell well enough.

    Bournonville, Ashton, Paul Taylor - the 3 choreographers I have most loved - and Balanchine and Robbins too: pre-21st century heaven!

    A google Lens search (never tried that before for something like this!) brings up several copies naming the photographer as Rachel Hollings

    I've never heard any suggestion that the headpieces are anything other than decorative - I think they're great, and completely in tune with the rest of the decor!

    Last night's Lise, Eleonore Guerineau, was injured during Act 1 of Fille last night and had to be replaced by Hortense Maurin Millet in Act 2. There is a touching message from Guerineau on her Instagram page.

    Who is Father Jack, please?

    Just for clarity - MacMillan made Concerto for the Berlin company - it was their technique he was thinking of, not the RB's.

    Last year it was 18th April and it's usually somewhere around that, so far as I remember.

    Come to think of it, it's probably just 'crossed wires' - he says 'original' meaning 'original RB' and I hear 'original' meaning 1955 SWThB version. Doesn't account for the photo, though.

    When the Sarasota Ballet did Danses Concertantes they borrowed the costumes from the RB, and there's an interesting youtube talk by their Head of Wardrobe, Jerry Wolf, which shows some of the costumes and headdresses in close-up. I'm a bit puzzled, though, that he says that in the original, 1955, production, the women wore tutus rather than skirts, which were introduced later: the first night photos quite definitely show skirts, while the reviews and photos of the first performances by the Covent Garden company in 1959 show tutus, and a review makes it very clear that these were new (and didn't last very long). On the other hand a photo on the Macmillan site is dated 1955 and shows tutus ... can anyone shed more light on this?

    Checking the 'What to Wear' section on the ROH website reveals there are only two rules: 1 You must wear shoes 2. You must be fully clothed So most people should be able to find something, though 'fully clothed' may be open to interpretation.
