    In Sheffield last for R&J. I had forgotten just how great this production is. I always found MacMillan's a bit too long, actually I only really enjoy the pdd's. But that's so not the case with this production it's all so exciting and engaging. Sitting either side of me were people who had never been to the ballet before and they were in a trance, completely caught up in the experience. Romeo last night was Harris Beattie - and wow he was just fantastic! Not just his technical ability which was more than impressive, but his actual portrayal of a young man in love for the first time. He was believable & amazing and without a doubt a star in the making. An unforgettable night. Congratulation to the whole production team at NB for bringing back this wonderful ballet. Christopher Gable would be very happy and proud I'm sure.

    With Sambe and Nunez guesting with POB - I would love to see an exchange and have some POB stars guest over here. Diop or Marchand would be great but top of my list would be Mathieu Ganio - before it's too late.....

    Without a doubt!

    Me too! I had commented on Chris Saunders Instagram post (wishing her happy birthday), that ROH should organise an evening celebrating this wonderful ballerina and roles created for her. But there was no mention of her planned visit at ROH that night. I do wish earlier announcements were made. Oh well perhaps ROH/RB will organise some kind of event for her - something that should of happened for Lynn Seymour - hopefully while she is alive to enjoy the love and appreciation from the audience 🙏🏽

    Thirdly, I do wish at the end of the performance, we could just savour the moment in the cinema, and watch the curtain calls. Is it really necessary to cut back to the two commentators standing backstage telling us how wonderful it has been and how good the dancers were? I would prefer a short voice over saying something along the lines of "hope you enjoyed it and goodnight.." Totally agree! In fact all that chatter really annoyed me! I just wanted to enjoy the curtain calls and the behind the curtain views...

    Just home from watching Manon at my local cinema. All went well - except they had no cast sheets - apparently ROH didn't send the info through 🤷🏾 And I lost my shawl in the restaurant 😪 However the performance was fantastic, the whole company amazing. The orchestra wonderful and I loved that the lead cellist was given a close up. The stars of the show were Osipova and Clarke. I knew she was a great actress but it was brilliant to see just how good he was close up. They were outstanding! I cried at the end, they were superb 😭

    I had not read that before so thank you @Mona for sharing it. It was so well written, so personal and informative - Isabella Gasparini is a lovely ballerina and I have always enjoyed her performances. She deserves every success.

    In Osipova's defence, she has always performed in tatty shoes, so that's not new.....🙄

    Fantastic night here in Liverpool - with lots of cheers and support from Matthew's family and friends 😀 And what a great show both he a Mayara gave us! Gary Avis is such an amazing actor - his expressions speak volumes. A very special artist! And James Hay - I love him, what comedic talent! Although I would love to see him as Lescaut with either Isabella Gasparini or Sophie Allnatt, both petit and lovely performers who capture my attention every time they're on stage. The star of the show was the whole company! Congratulations everyone 👏🏽

    Have to say I'm really surprised at how much I enjoyed Darcey Bussell's S.B master class with BRB. I have a feeling these dancers really gained a lot of valuable advice and guidance from her. Probably one of the best items on WBD this year. 👏🏽 👏🏽👏🏽

    Thank you - I'm still so shocked at the result tbh

    I'm devastated I am unable to get down to London to see this show. I have Covid for the very first time and am quite poorly. In particular I wanted to see Four Last Songs as I really like David Dawson. I look forward to reading all your reports.

    What a great story @Emeralds I too saw them dance often in the 80's. I wish them both well with their health problems.
