    No I was sc right. I admired Osipova - she was as fluid as water, Sambe very strong. Voices of Spring was much preferred near where I sat. agree re Bluebird- swift footwork and soft landings - impressive.

    Goodness me that’s expensive . I was told today that no decision has been made yet re seating plans. It’s all very uncertain.

    Thanks to a return ticket I was there today. First time in 18 months and I felt it was well organised and I felt safe. I know the seating can’t remain but it was great for me not to have anyone sitting directly in front of me. thoroughly enjoyed the performance - those around me didn’t enjoy the Mats Ek piece. I thought it weirdly amusing but out of place in this programme. Lovely farewell to ms Stix-Brunell. Got to admire ms Naghdi a ballerina fully majestic in the role of Aurora. i must say it was a bit challenging getting out of Covent Garden- two tube stations shut due overcrowding with football fans. Thankfully I was wearing trainers and walked to Charing Cross but there were a lot of noisy fans there too. very glad I went though

    Superstars by their very nature are few and far between. Regardless, productions must be staffed and actually I think the RB has more strength in depth now than for many years.

    Hope all attending have a great evening and happy birthday to Ms Osipova

    I do wish that the producers had cast real dancers for the dance segments though, but I agree that it would not be possible to capture the essence of Margot.

    Did anyone watch Margot? It was from 2009 but I didn’t recall it at all. I would ha e thought it quite a daunting role to play.

    I would be overjoyed to see a live performance but it seems that it may be a long wait still. Vaccination will not be complete until end of July for adults but that wouldn’t stop me.

    Rather late to the discussion but I also nominate the adagio from Spartacus with V Vasiliev and Maximova

    Could they perform elsewhere in a lower tier region?
  11. Shade
    Yes I must admit they are not to my taste!
  12. Shade
    That’s lovely - heartwarming

    Lovely to read all these reports. Thanks all.

    Hope everyone going has a wonderful evening and reports back. I am sure it will be an emotional one.

    I did enjoy la Dame first time round Alison. I guess cinemas will also be closing from Thursday.

    Me too - but congratulations to Natalia & Ivan on a successful full length Don Q. is Natalia performing Giselle on 17 October at NOVAT? with London’s increased controls will live performance still be possible I wonder.

    A tear of joy here to see this live performance- wish I could have been at the House but audience was v appreciative. It would have been good to acknowledge the composers and the beautiful singer for Medusa. The evening whizzed by.

    I thought it was the most thought provoking and intelligent documentary that I have seen for some time. Really worth watching - loved his comment that he had done too much Mahler.

    Re the Gala - are Osipova and Corrales to dance Prodigal Son? Some SM posts suggest so.
  20. Shade
    Well that was a thrilling watch- really enjoyed it and what a cast of principals. Would love to have seen that live. Really liked the costumes too. Screen was too dark in some parts - particularly the shades scene, which was behind a screen as well. grateful to see this production and would love a DVD to add to my collection

    That’s depressing Bruce - it’s hard to know with so many uncertainties still.
  22. Shade
    Enjoyed this very much. Loved the Wilis romantic costumes. Missed the mime though.
  23. Shade
    That and the music streams and my e library books!

    Thank you Amelia

    Thanks for the updates - let’s cross our fingers for an autumn final
