  1. Have to confess that I only saw Act 1 but Hayward was heartbreaking in the final pas de deux of the act. It's a a difficult watch, and should be, it felt almost inappropriate to applaud after watching the terror unfold. I can't comment much on Hirano's Rudolf yet ( and yes I am one of those Watson fans that booked for every performance he was due to undertake for this Mayerling run) but Hiranos' Prince showed promise, and I'm hoping by Saturday that he might get into the character more.

    I definitely want to see what Ball can do with this role.

  2. Her ballet A Simple Man, with Christopher Gable playing L.S. Lowry changed my life. It was the first time that I thought ballet could tell working class stories and it made me fall back in love with an art form that I had felt excluded from. 

    She leaves a huge hole, really hope Northern Ballet might revive A Simple Man in her honour maybe next time they are looking at programming work. It's great that they have lost of new work but I do think it's important that we don't lose gems like A Simple Man.
