The National Youth Ballet have posted that Téo Dubreuil is leaving ENB to join the Royal Ballet in 2014.

In which ballet is the main character killed and then is reborn ?

How about a Royal Ballerina who has danced four Shakespeare roles

Lesley Collier: The Tempest (Miranda) Taming of the Shrew(Kate) The Dream(Titania) and Romeo and Juliet (Juliet)

IMO this is the best production of Nutcracker ,I see from the casting that Laura Day is due to perform Clara a perfect casting , I have seen this young lady through her years at the RBS a super dancer (wondered if her size would hinder her) but she has found the ideal company ,just wish I could see the performance.

It was Papillon and Piege de lumiere

Re Jeanne d'arc - I couldn't find who choreographed it but it was danced by Eleonora Vlasova and Yuri Grigoriev.

 

I know Anna Pavlova danced a solo "Papillons" - but i don't know if she went up in flames!

You are on the right track ,one is a three act the other one act.

Jeanne D'Arc?

 

can't think of another......

Jeanne D'Arc?

 

can't think of another......

Who choreographed that? A clue both were Lepidopteras !!

In which TWO ballets does the heroine go up in flames .

In which ballet does the lead male character joyfully present a dead rabbit to the ballerina? In which ballet does the ballerina fall from a horse and later salute a fountain? In which ballet do we get to see the pink frills on the priest's long johns? In which ballet does a sneezer blast an entangled pas de quatre? (hint: it all may happen in the same ballet... making a little promo here )

Taming of the Shrew

I totally agree with Aileen about Nicholas Le Riche ,perhaps it is the only way for him to get an award for that masterly performance ( can't say it is classical!),also Nancy Osbaldeston ,super little dancer ,but the doll in Petrushka is neither classical nor in my mind very difficult . 

ENBS are doing a live stream on the 28th of November at 5pm ,for more info go to their facebook page.

Surprising choice as he was not trained in the Vaganova method ,perhaps it will be an administrative post(hence his recent law studies) ,.

I was told that Antonio Castilla (teacher at White Lodge) is going to replace him ,but no explanation on his sudden departure ,there might be something on the ENB website soon.
