    I was pleased and impressed to see ENB new signing Natascha Mair, amongst those taking part in Ballet Muses 2021. The Highlights of which can be seen on attached 21 minute link. Should anyone find a longer link then it would be much appreciated https://youtu.be/hkVJpFgpnDs

    Opus Arte are about to release 'The Art of Vadim Muntagirov' on DVD and Blu-Ray. A four disc set including 'The Sleeping Beauty', 'Manon', 'Giselle' and 'Coppelia'. All previously released material, no doubt in an attempt to squeeze a little more revenue out of old material. Something new would have been a welcome bonus.

    This would be from the streaming of 2014 when there was a clamouring for the RB to release this on DVD and its first blu-ray version. Despite this they decided against it and the possibility of it being released now is gone. At the time, there was extremely high praises for the performance of a 22 year old Francesca Hayward in this leading role. This wouldn't have detracted from the a release on DVD or blu-ray and I was advised at the time that the resultant film material wasn't considered to be good enough. This wasn't remedied until 2019, with a release of Sarah Lamb and Vadim Muntagirov in the Royal Ballets first release of this production on blu-ray. There may be future releases, but undoubtedly of future cast and productions.

    These are all re releases, re marketed probably because new sales are running out of steam. Caution is advised for the thrifty because the Alice's is currently available to buy online, as used, for £2 and the R&J/Nutcracker often pops up for a little more. Only the cellist and two pigeons are hard to find at low cost, so for those interested in the two and don't have the others, it may thus be a reasonable buy. And yes, I would like to add Laurens swan lake to my collection sometime.

    To be released on DVD & Blu-Ray on 22nd July2022 is Paquita - Ekaterina Malkovich; Ural Opera Ballet. Perhaps a little surprisingly. Listed on Amazon.

    Free from the Finland National Ballet Watch free ballet shows online - Full performances for free Ad·https://www.oopperabaletti.fi/ I just watched the full performance of 'Sibelius' , the ballet with music by Sibelius and Richard Strauss.

    The best and only place to ask this question, should a person have concerns, is with a medical practitioner.

    There are a lot of good 'shorts' about. I like this one. https://youtu.be/7yp01iNQBeI

    A new piece of interesting history for me, since I had never heard of her or her company before. I found this interview on Vimeo. https://vimeo.com/444198941 Thanks for providing additional education.

    To celebrate International Dance Day, “Nuit Romaine,” directed by Angelin Preljocaj and set in the Palazzo Farnese in Rome, follows the story of the goddess of the night, Nox, who comes to the Palazzo Farnese, bringing darkness and mystery into this place of power https://youtu.be/BxsHOaGkjzc

    This is because the original postponed casting was prior to the newcomers arrival at HET. We are told by Branson that the changed story line is secondary to the original dancing and music and that the choreographic splendor of the original Petipa will be retained, whilst the story will have an exciting new twist. He says that his production is not about the drama, but the beauty of the original choreography. I suspect the Olga Smirnova will be well versed in the Petipa choreography of Raymonda, having performed it many times. The star of the production, if there is one, will only be found after having performed the role.

    The commonality is that the two productions star Olga Smirnova in the title role.

    Thank you, just what the doctor ordered.

    Olga Smirnova will perform her first Ballet with Dutch National Ballet as Raymond on 3rd April. For those not fortunate to have tickets and as a special tribute to her values and her brave protest, a previous performance by her, of Raymonda, can be viewed on line, provided you have a Google account. Donations in support of the Ukraine can be made separately by other means https://drive.google.com/file/d/1-f14IwwskXL12VY3t8uz0i4_GFjDGptu/view?usp=sharing

    This was the first ballet DVD I ever purchased and still have it in my collection. For some reason it was filmed without audience, different reasons than today. For me, it became the standard by which I assessed all other Swan Lake productions.
