Another sublime performance today that almost reduced me to tears from the sheer beauty of it.  Deep sigh.

I rarely post, but I have to agree. So, so beautiful and incredibly moving. 

This made my heart sing. Joyful and glorious. Much thanks to ENB.

I am not sure if anyone else has mentioned so apologies if so, but there is a delightful backstage photograph of some of Saturday evening's wonderful cast on Francesca Hayward's Instagram account. I do not post reviews, or post much at all really. I don't have the skill or technical knowledge and just greatly enjoy reading other people's comments. I can only say that Saturday's performance touched my heart and soul in a way I cannot explain. What a wonderful privilege to see such talented, dedicated young dancers giving their absolute all. I was blown away.

There is going to be a piece on the ROH on the BBC London News which began at 6.30pm.

Ugh.  Another one of those blasted things on Facebook that you have to sign in for

I am not a member of Facebook and for something like this I just press the 'Not Now' button underneath 'sign-in'.  Have just watched this (lovely!) with no problem. Hope that might help.

I note ROH is working with the V&A on a major new exhibition exploring opera from its origins to present day. Do forum members better informed than myself know of anything similar for dance ever taking place? I recall the history of the Royal Ballet exhibition about seven years or so ago, but cannot call to mind anything else.

This was in the Evening Standard a couple of days ago. I am sure there is a better way of me doing these links rather than something which seems to go on for 3 pages!

Also, whilst not the most appropriate place, can I just say how much I enjoy reading the posts and reviews on this forum. I find it greatly enjoyable and informative.

I have a terrible feeling this might not work, as I am rubbish at anything remotely technical, but article in today's Evening Standard with fingers crossed.

All may be interested to know that Dancer has a couple of screenings as part of the London Film Festival. On Saturday, 8th October, 18:00 at the Haymarket Cinema and 12:30 on Sunday, 9th October at the Curzon, Mayfair.
