Ah such a shame Pat. I missed Osipova & Hallberg in 2020 by one day if I recall correctly. It is disappointing.- 1,276 replies

I thought there was definite momentum - not slow at all. Unlike some other occasions (nor RB) I recall.- 1,276 replies

On Monday it was very clear that Odette was turning to face Rothbart and his malevolent influence was obvious.- 1,276 replies

I was not clear in my post. I meant that it Is not frequently performed. I haven’t seen the RB production only the BRB Bintley production. Was the Cranko production the original?

It seems a shame that a major ballet score isn’t used.

I think amour is danced by a man at all performances- I do prefer the traditional production

I wonder too if dancers are worried that they will be prevented from travel -

Shade replied to MJW's topic in Performances seen & general discussions
Well you never know if you will be surprised. That’s the thrill of the live performance. I am always hopeful so go anyway. I think I must have seen more swan lake performances than any other ballet but I can always find time for another one - same with Bayadere.- 1,276 replies

I had already picked the poodle as a potential winner. V happy to see flatcoat win and liver is a less popular colour. border collie was a lovely dog - great movement. v disappointed with the rough collie best of breed winner- not my type at all. Did think the smooth collie was v smart though.
