    Actually the Lilac Fairy did dance in the 1890 production, there is a photo of Marie Petipa in her Prologue costume. It's a common misperception that the Lilac Fairy didn't dance in the original production - she definitely did and the reconstruction by Alexei Ratmansky shows that she had a very difficult and detailed Prologue variation.

    Merry Christmas everybody and thank you to the Mods who do a spectacular job of running things on here all year around.

    Hi, I am going to see Coppelia on Saturday evening at the Birmingham Hippodrome and I was wondering how much do you pay for a programme there and if its worth getting one. Thanks

    Splendid, I love that production

    Will there be mime in this production and is it based on the Ratmansky production for the Bolshoi? Or will it be completely different?
  8. CHazell2
    Yes, I saw that. It's a bit steep for what it is. However academic books are usually highly priced than other books - I wonder why that is. Hope that it is a good book.

    Hi there. Sorry for not posting on here for a long time. I would love to see Cinderella again. What designs should be used though? The Walker designs or the last ones?

    I wish that someone have recorded the missing sections as I always wanted to see that production and it would be interesting to see the contrasts between the Messel production and the Ashton/Wright one.

    Will Mayerling be repeated again, do you know? Would love to watch it again.

    I was there too, stayed for most of the applause too. Lots of flowers.

    Hi Sebastian May I ask you something, what recordings were they. Were they of different productions. Did you see the Ashton/Wright production of 1968?

    Signed the petition. Hope that the Government will listen

    Hi Please post the background and your review - it sounds a very interesting production and one that I always wanted to see. Am I right in thinking that there are a few differences between this production and previous productions? Also, has it been filmed before in any of its previous incarnations - I seem to remember that Queen Margerethe herself designed a very well received production?

    Please let them stream it on youtube?
  18. CHazell2
    Well Romeo and Juliet is an archive recording, so presumably they would have done the same for other productions.

    Wonder if they will stream a recording of the Mary Skeaping Giselle, I would really like to see that again

    Hi everybody. Just wanted to make sure that everybody on here is OK and managing alright. Hope that this will be over soon and things can get back to normality. In the meantime, take all necessary precautions and stay safe as you can. CHazell2

    There is still that kind of snobbery around I am afraid. Especially when it comes to TV and politics - but that is a hot potato and so I won't pursue it now.

    That broadcast was the first Rosenkavalier I ever saw on DVD. I still remember listening to the final Trio and thinking how beautiful it was.

    I can hardly call Richard Strauss light music
  24. CHazell2
    It was 1994 actually, and it was the occasion of Angela Gheorghiu's debut in La Traviata or the performance following that

    Thank you FLOSS for that informative reply - I had no idea that Ratmansky had used the Justament notebooks, if he has - then it would be wonderful and interesting to see. I remember seeing a streamed PNB video called Giselle Revisited in which various bits of mime were demonstrated and I have to say that everything was clear and the story became much more coherent. So it is a combination of the notations and the Justament source. Sounds like this is something to see.
