What about Van Manen's gorgeous Four Schumann Pieces? And Macmillan's Triad? -
Happy New Year From The Mods
ninamargaret replied to Sim's topic in Ballet / Dance news & information
Very grateful to the Forum for helping to keep me reasonably sane! And thanks to contributors who have amused, enfuriated, agreed with me, educated me! In one sense it's been a good year, with the chance to see so much ballet and other arts that I wouldn't have seen under normal circumstances. Let's hope for some semblance of normality next year. -
Nureyev's Nutcracker reissued on DVD by Opus Arte

But it's not Collier - the cover says quite clearly it's Merle Park. -
The Royal Ballet back on stage, 9/10/20
ninamargaret replied to Candleque's topic in Performances seen & general discussions
Highlights for me were Manon - always,good to see Morera/Bonelli, Campbell/Takada, O'Sullivan/Sambe and of course Nunez/Muntagirov. Not to mention the rest! While I regretted the omissions I thought it was an excellent compilation and really showed the company at its best. Part 2 please!- 183 replies

I particularly enjoyed the Zuchetti piece. He used the music so well and it was so well danced. Lots to enjoy, but especially Takada/Campbelk, Sullivan/Sambe, Morera/ Bonelli and of course Nunez/ Muntagirov. And Golden Hour, especially for the chance to enjoy Sullivan again and with James Hay. I had slight problems with streaming - pretty sure it was a local problem and hopes replay will be better.

World Ballet Day 2020
ninamargaret replied to alison's topic in Performances seen & general discussions
I couldn't get rid of the subtitles, which if they hadn't been so inaccurate would have,been hilarious. One particular movement came over as 'bowel milk'. At least I didn't get the comments from other viewers -
ROYAL OPERA HOUSE LIVE PERFORMANCES AUTUMN 2020
ninamargaret replied to oncnp's topic in Ballet / Dance news & information
I sympathise with Margaret N7. My mobility problems have worsened during lock down and I really need to be able to select a seat that I can get to as easily as possible. This, combined with the difficulty in getting a single seat, plus the thought of having to queue for various checks has made me decide to give attendance for the coming months a miss. I wonder if any consideration has been given to those on the Access list? -
But it's always done that to me! Don't know why.

ROYAL OPERA HOUSE LIVE PERFORMANCES AUTUMN 2020
ninamargaret replied to oncnp's topic in Ballet / Dance news & information
Wish I knew! I was told that the rules for the tier you lived in you must be adhered to if you go to another tier. i I can see the point if you go from tier 2 to tier1, but not the reverse. I think travelling between tiers for non essential purposes is discouraged anyway. I may, of course, have got it totally wrong - who knows!
