  1. It seems a shame that a major ballet score isn’t used.
  2. That would break my heart. I may boycott in protest were that to happen!
  3. I wonder too if dancers are worried that they will be prevented from travel
  4. Thanks Floss I would very much like to see the Ratmansky swan lake and sleeping beauty.
  5. 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.
  6. I am not v tall and I do like the loose seats in the Balcony- can’t always book them though.
  7. Did anyone else who saw Osipova’s earlier performances think that odette’s agony and sorrow were even greater today?

    Dog news

    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.
  9. Would love to see Cinderella and the Dream again
  10. Thank you Bruce really interesting reading, especially the Forum posts. The posts seem very forthright - today’s style seems quite different!
  11. But discussion about the intention that can be implied from the music is worth it I think. I find it interesting anyway
  12. Terrific photos Rob thank you. I hope Ms Osipova recovers soon, what a professional she is. How was Mr Clarke’s performance?
  13. Given the current political situation will any of the Russian dancers be able to travel to London I wonder
  14. Thanks Jane - I am assuming so as the food is disappearing. Great to hear about your juvenile hog - ours is a bit of a bruiser!
  15. I have a hedgehog in the garden whom I feed. I hope he’s taking shelter from the storm🦔
  16. Thanks Pas de Quatre for clarifying re the fouettés. I was sitting quite centrally and I could see that Hirata moved towards the front of the stage but she then appeared to travel in a circle whilst fouettéing. I did love the vision scene but agree the stage was a bit cramped. Thoroughly recommend this BRB production.
  17. Queen of the Dryads was Yijing Zhang. yes Alison I agree about Yap - super attitude. Lots of cape swishing too!
