    Friday for me too. And fingers similarly crossed for no unexpected, Nutcracker-style cast changes.
  2. Scheherezade
    I would also love to see Arielle Smith work with the RB.
  3. Scheherezade
    I think I might enjoy them rather more than MaddAddam.
  4. Scheherezade
    Agreed. I found her utterly mesmerising and totally unforgettable.

    This totally sums up my reaction to the ENB production. I love the beginning and agree with your reaction to the national dances but it’s the constant swapping around of the Nutcracker and the nephew that wipes it off my ‘see again’ list. How does anyone make sense of it?

    Echoing everything that has already been said, thanks to the mods for their generosity, time and commitment and to everyone who posts for being enlightening, informative, amusing, sometimes controversial but always sincere. Hoping you all had as wonderful a Christmas as mine and that 2024 will bring a basket of wonderful things to everyone.
  7. Scheherezade
    Agreed. And can’t fathom why this is happening.

    It is one of those works that I never tire of seeing. And Arielle Smith’s Jolly Folly has to be one of the most uplifting post-Covid pieces that I have seen. Shifting back to angst, both Alvin Ailey and Ballet Black manage to present serious issues in a manner that is thought provoking and engaging without being preachy.

    I’m not tall, Cescablue - just under 5’4” - and have been happy with the D1-4 block. That said, I may have been particularly lucky with the people in front, who have angled their seats so as to restrict my view as little as possible, or I have been able to move more to the side. Fingers crossed you will also be lucky. And the proximity to the stage does give an extra degree of intimacy.

    You are being very diplomatic, Bridiem. I would call it preaching, and sadly there seems to be no escape from it these days.
  11. Scheherezade
    Viola Pantuso - just gorgeous!
  12. Scheherezade
    Anything pre-Covid feels like a lifetime ago to me.
  13. Scheherezade
    True to a point, although it seems increasingly the case that the longer the gap since the last performance, the less likelihood of the work ever being revived here in the UK.
  14. Scheherezade
    All of which makes the tedious selection we get over here seem even more dire.
  15. Scheherezade
    Echoing everything that has already been said, LinMM, and here’s to a successful operation. Rest up, get well, make sure you’re waited on hand and foot and have a wonderful Christmas notwithstanding your broken wrist.
  16. Scheherezade
    Nostalgia. The warmth of a remembered hug and the chill of overwhelming sadness at one and the same time.
  17. Scheherezade
    You’re not the only one, Blossom. And I couldn’t agree more about Joby Talbot’s music.
  18. Scheherezade
    Afternoon of a Faun and The Firebird. There you are, Dawnstar, two very agreeable additions to your animal themed triple.
  19. Scheherezade
    I’d absolutely agree with that. I love Etudes, as does my daughter.
  20. Scheherezade
    Think how lucky you are, Sophoife, to have had so many luminaries! 😊
  21. Scheherezade
    I have a feeling that Etudes isn’t in the RB rep but stand to be corrected.
  22. Scheherezade
    Agreed. Especially when coupled with Gary Avis’s fully fleshed out portrayal of Dr Stahlbaum.
  23. Scheherezade
    Wouldn’t you think that would be obvious to anyone with half a brain? Sadly we are increasingly in the realm of the brainless and the tactically and deliberately blinkered.
  24. Scheherezade
    I’m very much with both of you here, and I know that I’m repeating myself too, but he really is one of those rare dancers who always brings much more than just technique to whatever role he is given.
  25. Scheherezade
    Yes, I also felt this on Saturday: every little gesture, exasperated shrug, sweep of the hand … And Fumi and Will were absolutely magical on Saturday too.
