    There's always the option of a book in the Floral Hall (or having a chat with me there, during it)

    I've already been lining up my reading material and conversation topics with you, @zxDaveM

     

    And this time round Prodigal Son won't even have the incentive for me to see Claire Calvert and Alexander Campbell finally paired up (other than Mistress/Lescaut, Lilac Fairy/Prince of course)

    It is indeed a great shot and the costume is a triumph of design and manufacture. However the makeup around the mouth looks as though Rothbart is around 105 and forgot his dentures.

     

     

    Rothbart

    German and Jewish (Ashkenazic): nickname for someone with a red beard, from Middle High German rōt ‘red’ + bart ‘beard’, German ... 

     

    A red beard signalled the baddie, see also Giselle? 

    Thanks @Roberta

    Also, a “von” in front of a last name in German used to in (the olden days) signify a kind of nobility (landed gentry?): “von” meaning of or from. So our SL baddie is likely from a place called Rothbart

    Balanchine - Jewels and / or Symphony in C. Would also like Ballo Della Regina / Theme and Variations

     

    Ashton - Symphonic Variations / Birthday Offering (surely they have the talent to perform this by now) / Patineurs 

     

     

    I agree with these wishes, I think I had mentioned those in a different ballet wishes thread 🙂

     

    Funnily enough I was just messaging back and forth this morning with a friend about Birthday Offering.  The last time I saw it was in 2012, still with Tamara Rojo, Roberta Marquez, Johannes Stepanek, Ricardo Cervera (to name but a few former RB dancers)

    I'm curious about Queen of Hearts casting - really loved Laura Morera and Zenaida Yanowsky in the recordings, not sure who else has done it?

    I believe Claire Calvert and Tierney Heap also danced Queen of Hearts in 2017
