  1. As a very recent ballet fan (about 6 moths!) this forum has been invaluable to me. Reading people's opinions of shows and learning more about different ballets has helped me greatly. Being able to come back from a show or a live screening and see what other people think has improved my experiences. I'm lucky that a few of my family members are interested in ballet as well, but i'd totally be up for meeting other members

  2. I went to the Don Q at the cinema yesterday. I  haven't seen the ballet before, so it was all new. I loved the trailer but was rather perplexed by the music, although by the time we had seen the trailer a few times, it grew on me. I have tried to follow all the threads but can someone identify the dancers in the trailer and the ballets, which I assume will be forthcoming events at the cinema? And (possibly off topic) does anyone know what the music was ? I did think the huge quantity of dancers on stage did take away from the principals in Act 1, but I loved Act 11, the set, costumes and loved the main gypsy dancer, was that Kristina Karasyova? Spectacular dancing from Kitri and Chudin near the end. The cinema audience loved it and showed their appreciation at the end.

     

    The dancers in the trailer were Artem Ovcharenko and Olga Smirnova. Not sure on all the ballets, but the 20's style one looks like The Golden Age and the military costume is from A Hero Of Our Time.
