    BEST CLASSICAL CHOREOGRAPHY ..........Wayne McGregor for Untitled, 2023 for The Royal Ballet...... 😂
  2. Richard LH
    Wow, hope for me yet then? 😂

    Many thanks @Sim

    Onegin would be very welcome....Takada's Act 1 solo as Olga (followed by the PDD) is absolutely delightful and one of my most favourite ballet moments. I recall she was nominated for a 2014 National Dance award for the role.

    Sorry yes of course I should have said ROH. Perhaps a Mod could kindly change the title?

    Sorry, I did look to see if this had been mentioned elsewhere but I didn't spot your post.

    Has anyone else just received this? It is more comprehensive than the standard "how do you feel?" questionnaire, as it includes opportunities to comment rather than just answering multiple choice questions. Worth doing, I would suggest, for any Friend who wants to give positive or negative feedback on the sort of issues oft discussed on BCF!

    Yes I recall starting to watch the dvd but it made me feel rather ill, and I never got to the end...I suppose I could try again but unfortunately this may well be one I have to miss.....

    Oh I thought in that version they were just taking a pedalo trip across the lake...🤔

    Only near the end after he is struck down by VR just as Odette runs away to jump off the rock. The premise is that only her sacrifice can defeat VR, so I don't have a problem with S being seen as being pretty useless (again!) at this point. He remains true to character..🙄 But where Act IV really shines is in the wonderful Corps dancing, the PDD, and the music....
  12. Richard LH
    Yes she was cast with Nicol Edmonds as the Prince last time.....wonderful!

    There was no Nutcracker in 2019/20 when Coppelia was on last. Did you mean Cinderella rather than Coppelia?

    And she is really good in this role.....very charming, and displaying brilliant light, quick footwork. Another young lady with a lot of potential at the RB.

    (This relates to Viola Pantuso)....I would slightly more cautiously describe her at this stage as having the potential to become a stand-out dancer, or to become 'extra special' if you like. Others will be better able to rate her technical skills but she looks very proficient to me and more importantly she just seems to catch the eye in her characterisations and to have a great charisma ...the sort of quality which may be easier to experience than describe. Certainly her Clara, for me, was a complete breath of fresh air.....
  16. Richard LH
    Yes indeed.....a great boon which I don't believe is offered by any other comparable venue.

    Also I have seen several instances, pre performance start or resumption, of younger fashionably dressed ladies, on their own or with partners, standing in the aisle whilst taking numerous selfies or having someone take shots of them in artful poses. All very entertaining, apart from the problem of the aisle clogging up with people trying to get to their seats.....

    What a horrible experience for you......however as @LinMM had suggested, this sort of aggressive behaviour is likely to be very rare... hopefully next time you will meet a lovely neighbour who will restore the balance to a degree! Most times I have found people nearby very polite, and often prepared to chat and share ballet gossip and experiences.
  19. Richard LH
    Of course!...whilst certainly deserving the many plaudits she receives, Nunez is by far from being the only brilliant proven RB principal in this role.
  20. Richard LH
    Yes I think so; I made a similar observation upthread....
  21. Richard LH
    From that one viewing I feel I already have.....
  22. Richard LH
    Probably me too but I'm allowing for advances in medical science.....
  23. Richard LH
    Yes perceptions do change over time, and I would be perfectly happy if Different Drummer next returned in 40 years!
  24. Richard LH
    Thanks @Emeralds...will be looking to avoid main rail and catch the tube from Cockfosters instead....
  25. Richard LH
    That's potentially very good news, but "appears to be confirming" is a little vague...I wonder if you recall more details of his post @capybara, since this is no longer on his IG story feed? Many thanks...
