Can anyone tell me about the Ballets de Monte-Carlo and the R&J at Coliseum. Has anyone seen them?

Thank you to Yaffa. I have just watched the programme with Tereshkina, absolutely great. How old is she? Obviously a great artiste and had a wonderful curtain call at the end. How does one find out about these broadcasts? I am looking forward to the one on Saturday.

Yes, I am sure that was when the Kirov came over. It was heavenly, with all their own curtains and scenery etc. Altynai and Farouk were in competition with who could wear the most sparkly body paint! The programme and performance was (for me) the most exciting thing. Can't remember who was Firebird, but she was absolutely wonderful. Can anyone tell me if they have both retired from the scene (I know Amelie has given the excellent piece of info about Altynai and also her daughter for which I thank you). What's happened to the curtains, scenery and original costumes etc I wonder. Firebird and her music one of my absolute favourites. I remember gasps of astonishment when Farouk did Corsaire!

Thank you so much Amelia for this information, as I dearly remember a performance of hers at ROH with Farouk (can't remember surname) Scherehazade (sp?). Will this mean we won't every see either of them again?

Thank you all for info. Just wish I could go to Germany to see some performances!

Thanks to all who responded to my enquiry. Sad they are not coming to UK this year. Failed to get tickets for Russian Gala at Coliseum which I went to last year.

Does anyone know if they will be coming to UK this year? Also is it possible to join Friends of M? jamie14
