    Or open packets of crisps or cough sweets…

    The Mariinsky Theatre has announced a performance in honour of the late and very great Vladimir Shklyarov. It will take place on 9 February, to coincide with what would have been his 40th birthday. The evening is simply entitled "The Magic of Vladimir Shklyarov". No more details have been disseminated, including whether it will be available on line for a wider audience. His death remains an immense personal tragedy and loss to the ballet world.

    Ticket now spoken for.

    I have 1 s/c standing place for sale for tomorrow night's Cinderella. Please send me a DM if you are interested.

    Your comments about the possible decisions of POB management and the dancers.
  6. BeauxArts
    This is incorrect.

    The issue is that the dancers want to be paid at the same level, or around the level, as the Opera musicians. At the moment the disparity is not acceptable to the dancers’ union. Unfortunately it seems possible that all the POB performances are in jeopardy, including Play which is opening imminently at the Palais Garnier. Friends and I have tickets for tomorrow’s performance of Paquita, and at the moment there is some doubt over whether it will go ahead.

    Extraordinary scenes at the Opera de Bastille… the opening night of Paquita has been cancelled with a full auditorium who sat for 35 minutes until they were told that the dancers were not on strike but were not dancing tonight….. TBC!

    The RB tribute will be soon.

    Desperate news. Such a beautiful dancer and true artist. A Solor for the ages. He was very proud to have danced Manon with the Royal Ballet. Such sorrow.

    Surely, a more courageous decision would have been not to cast Macrae, Lamb and Nunez, and to give opportunities to more credible (in those roles) younger dancers. Why not take a chance on Leo Dixon, Viola Pantuso ...

    That comment is too nuanced for me!

    I was enthralled by this afternoon’s performance. Frola and Bueno are a special partnership and they were nothing short of mesmerising in their debut performance. It is a masterpiece and the company are fantastic in it.

    I think Jun, Leo and Lukas are individually and collectively much more interesting dancers than Calvin and Joseph. I completely agree with the comment above that the repertoire does not support so many principals. These principal promotions now replicate the situation with the female principals: too many competing for too few performances. Congratulations all the same (must not be too curmudgeonly!) to all concerned - and a special shout-out to Jun, the brightest star of all.

    On the basis of the intensity of their performance and rapport in The Dream, I am now very open to an Osipova and Bracewell R and J - and that was not something I had anticipated. They are both so charismatic; I think that casting could be extremely rewarding. But I also would be nothing less than delighted with Kaneko and Bracewell .. of course!
