  1. It was a great show! Well done everyone! Steven McRae was......unbelievable!! A balletic Gene Kelly! - Stupendous!
  2. Dress rehearsal photos are on website - link above.
  3. Sadly, many journalists never let the truth get in the way of a good story.
  4. Moira Buffini will be seeing the show on Wednesday 31 July. - Afterwards, she will take part in a question and answer session.
  5. I must declare an interest - I'm playing Father Yelpidy (a dissolute priest) in this dark comedy based on The Suicide by Nikolai Erdman. http://www.towertheatre.org.uk/dying.htm 30 July - 3 August We have some competion - a Russian dance company at the ROH and a Mr Acosta at the Coliseum.
  6. I loved ABT's performances at the Coliseum in 2009! - Hope ENB do the same production!
  7. Since his departure from the Royal Ballet Sergei Polunin has been very vulnerable and easy 'prey' for journalists after a 'good story'. Don't believe everything they write.
  8. Don't believe everything you read in the papers.
  9. I think last night's performance - Steven, Roberta, Yuhui....... - was about as good as it gets.
  10. Jenny Gilbert's 'review'....? - More a preview than a review.
  11. £27 (£15 students) - all performances....
  12. Top price for Le Corsaire is £55 for first night only. It is then £74.
  13. Maybe, the behaviour of many secondary school pupils (in London) is a factor.
  14. Three terrific pieces! Superbly danced! Super orchestra! Thanks, ENB. See you soon!
  15. There is a wonderful DVD of Leonid Sarafanov and Olesya Novikova dancing Don Quixote with the Mariinsky. Andrei Merkuriev is a great Espada - and Anton Lukovkin (now with ENB) a great Sancho Panza.
  16. 'But, to lose two.... ' as Lady Bracknell said.
  17. The interview took place when Sergei was at the ROH rehearsing M&A. In it he speaks of drugs,tattoos and self harm. The 'update' suggests he may be 'doing it all again' - which is 'why he vanished from rehearsals of Midnight Express'. It makes no mention of Igor Zelensky. No doubt this shoddy piece of journalism will satisfy Peter Schaufuss.
