I love Steven McRae showing off. Sorry if this doesn't make me a purist but talent of his ilk does not come along too often - and I want to see it I remember Tamara Rojo commenting that her ability to hold on point in Swan Lake had been criticised for not going with the musicality, but that she felt that as she had the technique to achieve this, she should - and I completely agree. Few dancers have this ability and it is breathtaking. Agnes Oakes in Swan Lake was another example. I remember one performance at the Albert Hall where she was simply astonishing both with the fouettes and the holding on point in Act 3. AAArrhh, I have seen loads of ballet performances and those are the ones I remember. Steven McRae will live in my memory in both La Fille and La Sylphide - long may it continue......and then there was Les Patineurs, the BlueBird - he lights up the stage.
