    Ballet- watching! Drawing & Illustration, classical music, playing piano & flute, singing, blogging on mental health & spiritual development.

    My favourite dancers are Alina Cojocaru, Marianela Nunez, Dorothee Gilbert, Irina Kolesnikova, Edward Watson, Matthew Golding & Steven McRae. I haven't seen many of the Bolshoi or Mariinsky dancers perform but would absolutely love to!

    My favourite ballets are Don Quixote ( I love leaving the theatre uplifted), The Nutcracker, Swan Lake & Mayerling. I also particularly love Northern Ballet's R&J.

  1. Wow! What a day you had! So glad you got to see Hayward and Campbell at the stage door. You’ve definitely convinced me to see her in the title role in the future. Looking forward to hearing about Melissa Hamilton’s performance.
  2. Their chemistry was special! I was in tears many times throughout!
  3. It’s one of my favourite ballets to watch live, as it leaves you feeling so uplifted! It’s so joyful!
  4. I was so angry and disappointed by what I heard on Panorama that I’ve just written a 3 page letter to the RBS, sent by email, expressing my disappointment in them, but also how I think things can be changed for the better. I doubt it will even be read, but I at least feel better for writing it!
  5. The Royal Ballet’s production of The Nutcracker has just arrived on Netflix- I was slightly astonished to say the least, but very happy to see it! The cast includes Anna-Rose O’Sullivan as Clara, Marcelino Sambe as the Nutcracker/Nephew, Marianela Nunez as the SPF, and Vadim Muntagirov as the Prince. I believe this is the first time this recording has been available to watch other than on DVD/Blu-Ray. It is certainly the first ballet Netflix has shown. Well done Netflix!
  6. So many wonderful moments from the gala, but my standouts were Magri/Ball in Carousel, Watson/Richardson/Takada in Woolf Works, Within the Golden Hour, and everyone in Elite Syncopations, though I thought Benjamin Ella stood out in the male quartet- loved his style and easiness with the music. I really enjoyed seeing so many pieces I hadn’t seen before. I also thought the orchestra sounded really fresh and vibrant- I don’t know if it was to do with the placement in the stalls, or the young conductor I didn’t recognise, but I thought they sounded amazing! It was such a pleasure to watch it all live from the comfort of the living room and I’m so happy they are all back, and for the privilege.
  7. There are so many documentaries I would love to see again, particularly the special on Alina Cojocaru. I think there was another for her partnership with Johan Kobborg too. But any Royal Ballet documentaries would be most welcome. I'd also love to see the latest RB Swan Lake again, as I recorded it on my previous Sky box and have since upgraded to a different box, so lost the recording. It was great to see Mayerling the other day though, I thought Sarah Lamb was divine!
