  1. Yes they removed the list a few hours after they posted it.
  2. Dansomanie announces Serguei Polunin as a guest for the next run of Swan Lake in Paris !
  3. I was surprised to read that Mr. Swan-Pouffer will "live between London and New York for the moment"...
  4. https://www.operadeparis.fr/en/message-to-spectators-2 Demonstration will start on Place de la Bastille on Saturday, I am sorry for you Sheila 😒
  5. could you be more explicit please ? why did you think Six years later was poor and uninspired lizbie ?
  6. much ado about nothing to my eyes ! the life she wants yes, that's wonderful... but was it really necessary to work so hard all those years to finally figure out it is not for you ? no if you are well guided...
  7. Concerning Fogarty remember her mother in the movie First position... The ballet mum cliché ! Awfully ambitious for her daughter, terrible result at the end !
  8. Mary Vetsera would be a perfect role for Hayward ! Very weird she is cast as a first soloist or even as a soloist not as a principal next season.... Kevin O'Hare seems to be disapointed...
  9. Just received from ENB : Lead Principal Aaron Robison has decided to leave English National Ballet at the end of the current season. He returns to San Francisco Ballet where he danced as a Principal from 2016-17. We wish Aaron all the best for the future and look forward to welcoming him back as a Guest Artist in the future. Sad
  10. No Precious Adams, Aitor Arrieta or Daniel McCormick on the list... Surprising !
  11. Living in France, I was in the Coliseum last week at the opening night. Alina Cojocaru is really a wonderful ballerina who knows to always try new things with a wonderful musicality. Joseph Caley was a wonderful prince with beautiful legs and feet. Strong partnership. But I was disappointed by the company in this kind of production. Fairies variations were uneven, very nice Rina Kanehara but quite weak Begona Cao. Sad to say that Shiori Kase does not do it for me, feet seems to be a major problem with her. I wanted to go back the next day as there were many empty seats but was so bored at the end of the evening (despite wonderful Cojocaru and Caley) that I sadly changed my plans. To me the Royal Ballet production and dancers in Sleeping Beauty are the best !
  12. Does anyone know if Lauretta Summerscales is going to be back at ENB next season ?
  13. We often forget that... dancers are GREAT, what a commitment they show, they give everything to their art and we, as an audience, receive that ! They are strong and fragile at the same time. Congratulations to Claudia Dean to tell us this story, her story. Many times things seem easy from an outside point of view but we can see here how difficult and competitive things can be.
  14. I don't think being well know and admired by the company is enough...
  15. “I highly recommend it.” Am I the only one to find this a bit grotesque and ridiculous ? Come on we really do not care about Mrs Rojo's personal life. What I am more concerned about is the following : “People had left, yes, but we felt it was explicable because a lot of change had been going on. We didn’t feel it was unnatural, that there was anything to be concerned about.” Not concerned about so many departures ? In french we call that " faire l'autruche " (turn a blind eye)....
  16. Ok then everything is perfect now ! end of story More than 7000 views here on BCF !
  17. Fumi Kaneko and William Bracewell saw them in Nutcracker, they were both very promising (and even more than that )
  18. does someone know what a corps de ballet dancer gets at english national ballet ?
