    Great company performance. Choe, Acri, Gasparini and Storm-Jensen in the main dancing roles made this a wonderful end to the Royal Ballet year. Choe, deadly funny in the 2nd act, Acri matching very illustrious dancers in the 3rd act. Gasparini as Aurora, magnificent. Storm-Jensen in absolute control as Prayer.

    BRB Giselle. All the Giselles were superb, but if I had to single out one for special praise it would be Miki Mizutani
  3. Tony Newcombe
    Totally agree, I use all three entrances and always find them very courteous

    She was the answer to an Xmas University Challenge question a couple of nights ago!
  5. Tony Newcombe
    So well deserved

    I would advise against it. The guests on his show are there to show off his ego. I remember Dennis Hopper being on his show many years ago and he could not get a word in at all, More recently a British star in another field altogether gave as good as she got from him. Most of that was edited out

    she was stressed rotten

    I was at the opening last night. An in front of curtain announcement informed us that Momoko Hirata was ill and would be replaced by Miki Mizutani as The Sugar Plum Fairy. Some replacement. She is dancing superbly at the moment. Anyone lucky enough to see her Giselle recently will know what I mean.

    And the prologue fairies were all First Soloists. Stix-Brunell, Magri, Calvert, O’Sullivan and Choe.

    Couldn’t agree more. Superb performances by the whole company.

    Easy trip. I regularly travel along the Cross Country trains Routes from Bristol to Plymouth and to Birmingham and Manchester(Salford for Janet McNulty) to see BRB

    When Asylmuratova guested with the Royal Ballet in November 1990, she really did give us very loud claps.

    Annette Buvoli, the only dance not applauded after her solo! Why not. I thought she was quite wonderful
  15. Tony Newcombe
    Yes, I’m looking forward to seeing it

    I saw it last night and really enjoyed it and am looking forward to seeing it again tonight. Some quite challenging choreography in the first piece Cross Currents with Ball, Hayward and Magri. Will be interesting to see the second night cast of Sissens, Padjak and Roscoe

    Yuhui listed on tonight’s cast sheet. So not a last minute injury to Yasmine

    Hi Northstar, interestingly Nao Sakuma coached Celine and Brandon in this production. There is a nice photograph of them on Facebook

    Totally agree with Janet above. I was lucky enough to see all the performances. All the casts were superb. I have to mention Miki Mizutani as Giselle. A first soloist whose Giselle was so achingly sad and last night Celine Gittens and Brandon Lawrence were extraordinary. It was one of those nights where everything just comes together. I really believe that Celine Gittens touched greatness last night.

    Has to be near the three hour limit

    Bit ironic that the RB Triple Bill with Bintley's Tombeaux clashes with the BRB Triple Bill

    It’s the Paul Hamlyn Christmas Treat. An annual event.
  23. Tony Newcombe
    And already sold out
  24. Tony Newcombe
    It’s listed in the Winter Magazine
  25. Tony Newcombe
    Booking for Winter Season opened today and interestingly the Insight Evening for the new Marston/Scarlett ballets listed for 22 Jan 2020 seems to have disappeared.
