    I hadn’t realised until today that Emma Lacona had appeared in Arthur Pita’s The Wind in the role of Little Sadie. A talent to watch?

    Probably right Anne. Age and ticking regular attender probably finished my contribution

    I was about 15% through the survey, when it suddenly said thank you for completing the survey

    I remember Between Shadows very well. Whispers from audience members leaving The Clore “Who the hell is Lauren Cuthbertson” It didn’t take us long to find that out. I had heard a couple of years ago that Cathy would be presenting a new ballet for the Royal and immediately thought about casting. As soon as we heard about the subject of the ballet, it was pretty obvious to me who would be cast in the main role.

    Had my refunds for all ROH bookings. BRB tickets sorted. A bit complicated picking options for BRB refunds

    I saw that performance and was not aware of the situation. I do remember the mime dialogue between courtier and the Queen thinking at the time he must be a local actor

    David Bintley for the Royal Ballet in the early nineties

    The great Virginia Johnson who I saw as Giselle with the Royal Ballet in the early 1990s

    Sarah was the first. Other notables Laura Morera, Lauren Cuthbertson, Francesca Hayward and much later Julia Roscoe. I posted a long list of dancers who went on to join the Royal Companies at the time of the premier of the present production. It was quite a list

    Totally agree, Janet, Miki’s arms and back were absolutely beautiful. I felt that this was very much her own take on the role of Odette. Am there again tomorrow to see her second performance. She has now done all the big classics to great acclaim. Seems only a short time ago that she was wowing us with that flea in Penguin Cafe. superlatives for Lachlan as well

    In the early nineties, I remember seeing three nuns in full wimple mode taking their seats towards the front of the orchestra stalls

    I think that is the minimum number. Not all programmes are sellouts to the various levels of supporters

    Always remember him being brought in as a late replacement to partner Guillem in Dowell‘s Swan Lake in the adagio she was extending her leg towards her usual six o’clock position when suddenly it stopped at about ten to six. Legris had cleverly positioned his hand slightly forward so her thigh could not hide his head. He’d obviously had previous with her at POB

    It was MIki Mizutani dancing the Cinderella pdd

    California in the summer

    Tickets for Cinderella go on sale tomorrow 6th February!!

    Probably a smart move while the success of last weeks Swan Lake is still fresh in peoples minds

    Not too far away. Have just see tonight’s performance. You should be in for a treat
  21. Tony Newcombe
    Guess there are a lot of dedicated fans
  22. Tony Newcombe
    Janet, no problem for me
  23. Tony Newcombe
    Not sure about that but didn’t Antony Dowell attend her mother’s school
  24. Tony Newcombe
    The cast I am looking forward to seeing is Mizutani and Monaghan. Miki missed the last run because of injury. Many of us BRB watchers think she is the next Japanese BRB dancer to join that wonderful list of Yoshida, Sakuma and Hirata

    I have a spare ticket for tonight’s performance. D8 SCS. £10. PM me if interested
