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

Royal Ballet's Swan Lake (Spring 2022)
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.

But discussion about the intention that can be implied from the music is worth it I think. I find it interesting anyway- 1,276 replies

Top 10 books about ballet (Guardian)

That’s quite a shocker if I recall correctly. -
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.
