    Yes please I’d like to buy it from you. Please DM me your bank details and email address and then you can send me the ticket. Many thanks.

    Not sure if I replied correctly to this - can you hold the ticket for 30 mins while u check something?
  4. balletyas
    Could you hold this for me for half an hour while I check something?
  5. balletyas
    Absolutely agree with you on this…

    Ah yes I had to miss Yasmine’s Mary Vetsera for some reason and of course that would have been a good trial run for Manon - so glad she pulled it off. Rather wonderful seeing such a controlled and poised dancer throw the shackles off - my admiration of her grows with every performance. Quite agree re Dixon - i feel he could be a wonderful ardent DG but not sure he is physically strong enough yet but hopefully that will come in time..

    I so agree with this/ it was exceptional in a way I can’t quite put my finger on - it would be interesting to see another cast just to see if it’s something in the staging that has changed or if it’s just down to these two particular dancers… maybe it’s both, who knows…but the humanity that they both brought to their roles took it to another level i think.. ..

    I’ve written a great long screed about last night echoing and elaborating on all of the above but for some reason it didn’t post - I think I must’ve been interrupted and forgot to hit submit…so I’ll just say Bracewell was extraordinary - probably the best embodiment of ardour and pure love that I’ve seen at the ballet and Yasmine made an often unsympathetic character utterly sympathetic as she lurched from young love and sexual awakening through , luxuriating in her sudden wealth and power, to deep regret and loss oozing out of every pore. Both the ultimate RB dance actors whose technical perfection (those pdds, his solo, the air twists…) goes without saying… I had been worried that Yasmine was too naturally ladylike and innately ‘good girl’ (the perfect Giselle) to pull off the more ‘stereotypically ‘minxy’ aspects of Manon but she did it and humanised her to boot… a triumph that I hope we see reprised soon and filmed too I hope…. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 and ps when she was passed from man to man in act 2 -what do we call that? that was like the Arabian on steroids - utterly sexy yet somehow menacing - you could hear a pin drop in the audience…. Her poise and control was breathtaking.. ❤️ (and kudos to handsome Leo Dixon for his interesting rakish interpretation of a Gentleman while handling those hand overs with aplomb.… )

    I’m so sorry I didn’t see you - I wasn’t sure if the table was the right one and time was tight - what a night! What a performance! I’ve always really loved Bracewell but this was extraordinary. So much to say about both of them but train hell is distracting me. Was it different from their debut in any way?
  10. balletyas
    Ugh that sounds stressful…
  11. balletyas
    Yes I know exactly where you are and we’ll be somewhere there too so I will certainly try. Do you have any helpful sartorial signposts? A red scarf? A gold tiara!
  12. balletyas
    Thank you very much Linzi that’s very kind. I think we all are!
  13. balletyas
    Thank you! Very wise! Dreading all the bus nonsense but it will be worth it!
  14. balletyas
    Thank you me too🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼
  15. balletyas
    Oh thank you very much! Whereabouts do you hover? I’m coming with my husband as it is actually my delayed birthday treat so might not manage it but it would be lovely to meet a fellow Nagdhi fan!
  16. balletyas
    I do hope so. All I know is having had to miss the Nagdhi Bracewell debut due to illness I’m going to brave the train strike hassle from Cambridge for tomorrow night’s performance come hell or high water!
  17. balletyas
    I second all three!
  18. balletyas
    Yes indeed!
  19. balletyas
    I think they should have had 3…

    I think it creeps up on one - up until 5 years ago I thought nothing of getting back to Cambridge station and trawling through a multi story bike park for my bike and then cycling home, humming the tunes from that night’s ballet - now I live in the country so it’s much harder to get home but I’m also that much older and definitely see it as more of an ordeal after a great performance. I do hope someone’s listening….
  21. balletyas
    Cambridge line of course!
  22. balletyas
    That’s wonderful /Please post more on their performance when you get a chance as I had to return my ticket tonight - so cross as I have been longing to see their debuts….now have to wait till the 3rd… 😡
  23. balletyas
    My wishes for the RB would be: Lower prices! More 7pm starts because getting home so late on winter nights is so wearing.,, Song of The Earth - I can imagine several great casts for this - the current crop of principals would eat this up….and I haven’t seen it since Ed Watson was the Messenger of Death which was quite some time ago… I wish they were doing this for the Macmillan Triple instead of Different Drummer…. Bayadere - the white act if nothing else… Chroma / still the best thing McGregor ever did for the company and not staged for a very long time… Job / had been scheduled but was cancelled during the pandemic. I’d just like to see it…
