Don’t shoot the messenger. I’m just reporting back. I don’t know anything about the organisation or the organisers so have no ‘opinion’ either way.- 74 replies

During the curtain call last night several ‘Ballet Icon’ awards were somewhat haphazardly presented and I’m not certain that the whole auditorium were aware what was happening. These included a special one to Aud Jebsen for ‘services to ballet’. I, for one, am glad to see her recognised and thanked.- 74 replies

Even for a sold out show there will be a number of seats that are empty on the night due to unforeseen and unavoidable circumstances not just because someone has more money than sense. Especially now that one has to buy tickets so far in advance. I almost didn’t make last night’s show as less than two hours prior to leaving home water started dripping into my sitting room from the flat upstairs. Fortunately for me the leak was located and contained so that I was able to get to the Coliseum in the nick of time. A few hours earlier a friend had been immobilised by sciatica and was unsure whether they would attend. It’s not always possible to return or even give away tickets at the last minute even if one thinks to do so. That’s life. NB the top ticket price for a seat (VIP packages aside) was the same price as a ticket to RB Swan Lake.- 74 replies

A smorgasbord of gems to ponder, to relish and delight the most jaded of palettes even if some dishes weren’t to everyone’s taste. My highlight of the evening: Caravaggio choreo by Mauro Bigonzetti danced by Melissa Hamilton and Roberto Bolle literally took my breath away. That was worth the cost of the ticket without anything else.- 74 replies

I’m not a scholar of Petipa or anyone else but after a bit of googlewebbing I get the sense that non-idiomatic emotionalism equates to “wearing your heart on your sleeve” or “what you see is what you get”. -

They did dance this together in the last run so it’s not completely from scratch. -

When I messaged the organisers via IG two days ago they directed me to the Coliseum website which didn’t have any dancer information on it. Seems like the social media chimps don’t have a clue. In conversation with another human last night I learned that casting had yet to be finalised along with the running order. -

I may have gotten confused as Gareth & Sangeun are scheduled to dance too. -
