The RBS have posted a decent clip of some of their routine now https://www.instagram.com/p/Ceg3f1GDfz3/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link

They piped the sound of Andrew Lloyd Webber singing in to a very crowded area and everyone vanished

That was by using drones

Having just watched the bits of the concert that I wanted to see....I would say that the TV/audience screen people couldn't win with that ballet staging. What they should've done is either have Lauren and Reece dance with the RBS in one place or one do their piece after the other. I don't think they showed a long shot of the Mall so couldn't see what the crowds were being shown but in other parts of the concert they were being shown close ups of the artists rather than just what we saw on the telly, so it may be the the live audience saw far more of either dance than we did

I found it interesting enough just looking round the inside in the pre Open Up era on Google Streetview (2013)

A lovely clip on Amelia Townsend’s Instagram Story that showed some of the dancers were watching the coverage in the dressing room

How strange, thank you for clarifying....I went to many performances of Swan Lake when the Ukranian anthem was played and the special performance sounded completely different even though I was standing in the same place in Stalls Circle...today's anthem had the same qualities, like it was coming from speakers.

😆Oh you saw Marianela Nuñez in the foyer during both intervals too? 😆 We should all have balletcoforum lanyards to wear!!

Interesting, I couldn’t see them from where I was, it just didn’t sound like that was where the sound was coming from

Indeed it was 😊

Sííííííí!

Sounded recorded to me…like the Ukrainian anthem was for the special performance

And the Forum said ‘Let there be a national anthem’ and there was a national anthem…

I'd have liked ten minutes of Cesar Corrales' Juan Alejandrez charging around the Victoria Memorial...probably best to omit Gertrudis and the horse though

Is the Thursday the main day of this weekend? Maybe they’ll do something tomorrow evening.

Bump.

A whirlwind!

Laura Morera doing a great job this evening…for act 2; think Queen of Hearts but with Jedward hair. Cesar Corrales was like a 🌪 too!!

I think the gap between the filming dates of the last two Nutcracker dvds is shorter than that of the 2018 Swan Lake and now.

It's what I do when I go to put a dvd in the player under the telly, I had no idea it would have a name either

Question for anyone that saw it....what is the name of the move that Muntagirov did at the end of his piece as the curtain came down....asking for an aquaintance....

The website finally has details of the ‘new’ Aud Jebsen dancers!!
