    Replaced by Miki Mizutani and Yu Kurihara. No problems for me. Another chance to see these two wonderful dancers. Yu will dancing opening and closing night performances

    I’d like to add to the double double story. Brandon Lawrence did 3 of these in BRBs Swan Lake a couple of years ago. I was told by a very senior person in BRB that Carlos had suggested that he could should do them.

    BRB’s main main full length ballet next year is Cinderella. After this evenings Music and Dance offering Swan Lake has to follow the year after. TonightYu Kurihara was absolutely phenomenal as Odile in the Black Act Pas de deux. Lachlan Monaghan’s Siegfried didn’t stand a chance. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. This young lady is something very special

    After tonight’s Sleeping Beauty performance in Plymouth, Carlos Acosta came on stage and announced the promotion of Beatrice Parma to Principal Dancer with BRB.

    I know I have mentioned it earlier on this thread, but do go and see Yu Kurihara and Lachlan Monaghan on the first night. Yu is a really special Aurora. She is also dancing the Lilac Fairy and the Fairy of Joy(I.e Lilac Fairy variation) in this production.

    Presently, the only non-principal dancer to have danced Mary Vetsera, Juliet and Manon.

    In reply to Janet above. Shang has danced Aurora before. It was in 2018. Some wonderful comments about some of the more junior dancers. Reina Fuchigami and Gus Payne danced the “Bluebird” again tonight and were very good. Also Reina danced the Songbird Fairy this afternoon and I think she dances it as well as anybody in the two Royal Companies. She has blossomed since Carlos took over as Director. Time for couple of days rest from Beauty. Still another performance to come from Kurihara and Monaghan. Can’t wait

    And they did it again at this afternoon’s matinee. Absolutely divine. With next year’s rep including Fille and Cinderella, it is going to be wonderful to watch Miss Kurihara’s progress. She really is very special

    At BRB Principal dancers have always danced multiple roles in Beauty. I remember Natasha Oughtred dancing a Prologue Fairy, Princess Florine and Aurora in the same run.

    Agree with Anna’s comments. I would like to suggest to the London audience, that while Alina Cojocaru will be a popular choice, do go and see Yu Kurihara on the first night if possible. This afternoon she took on the mime role of the Lilac Fairy and was outstanding. She just has this magical aura about her when on stage.

    I’m looking forward to the Corsaire pas de trios. Marianna Tsembenhoi, Luca Acri and Vladyslav Bosenko

    Let’s not forget their Don Q. The big lift went on for so long that the audience started to laugh and then could only applaud.
