I'm looking for one ticket for a friend for this performance - she'll consider anything that's not too expensive! Thanks Jacky

The Royal Ballet: Manon, London, March-May 2018
J_New replied to zxDaveM's topic in Performances seen & general discussions
Sorry - this is the first time I've tried to quote, and I seem to have messed it up! But I just wanted to say that I agree with Indigo and DaveM - some parts were hard to watch, and the middle act did seem to go on a bit with the harlots. I didn't get the sense that Manon herself was manipulative at all last night - she was just being used. However, the quality of the dancing, particularly Alexander Campbell, was stunning. Maybe it's time for a bit of a re-think for the ballet, both the staging and how it is presented - though obviously we can't judge it from the moral perspective of today. I also agree with DaveM that being thrown around in a swamp is probably not the best approach if you're on your last legs! Jacky- 592 replies

I agree, Sim - and that's in the play. Many of the reservations above are Shakespeare's fault!

So no Onegin. Oh well ... And I was hoping for Theme and Variations, but maybe there's a reason they don't/can't do it ...?? Jacky- 263 replies

Yes, could be overactive imagination. I like the Russian version where there are only twinkling lights that scare him away - that seems a better way of ‘anticipating’ their arrival. Sorry - a bit away from the flowers ....which is such an interesting topic

I’ve often wondered how there can be Wilis scaring Hilarion at the grave at the start of the act when they haven’t been raised by Myrtha yet ......

The Royal Ballet: Giselle, January-March 2018
J_New replied to Nina G.'s topic in Performances seen & general discussions
Really lovely photos, Dave! -
This is a very early request for two SCS tickets (ideally together) for any of the Morera performances of the RB Bernstein mixed bill. March 15, 23, 27 or April 6th. I realise this is very early, but am hopeful of getting two tickets together this way. Many thanks Jacky

Thanks Sim - that works, and is very interesting. On a different note - does anyone know whether it's possible to find out the casting for Hilarion in the up-coming run of Giselle? Jacky- 184 replies
