    Black Swan (2010) A repressed ballet dancer leads a sheltered life, devoted entirely to her art. She pursues the lead role in a production of Swan Lake, but the director convinces her she will only be capable of dancing the part if she embraces her darker impulses. This leads her into a destructive relationship with a rival that threatens her sanity. Drama, starring an Oscar-winning Natalie Portman. With Mila Kunis, Vincent Cassel and Winona Ryder Sky Cinema Superheroes HD (Virgin 402) Wed 29 Jan 6:15am-8:05am

    A couple of months ago I took a young child to Little Red by Northern Ballet in the Linbury. After the performance (excellent) we walked round the whole building, she was thrilled to do so and the staff could not have been more helpful and kind. They pointed out all sorts of things inculding the two chandaliers in the crush room which they said came from the one big one. We had a great time and young child can't wait to be old enough to go to 'grown up ballet'.

    I was told it was so big they made it into the two chandeliers in the Crush Room.

    I was chatting to someone in the interval who doesn't usually got to ballet and she loved it. Also quite a few people at Le Corsaire who were not ballet regulars. Well done ENB.

    As a relative newby to Ballet I haven't seen many of the works in full. I was most impacted by Swansong, I had not seen tapdancing performed in a menacing way, it was chilling. Apollo looked fascinating. I would watch Etudes again, anytime, as well as their classics. There is much to look forward to.

    Despite the email there is only one interval And it was a wonderful evening, the first time for me that I had seen many of the dancers. Frola's jumps and Jeffrey Cirio generally were especially good.

    This is part of the email I got about tonight's performance: 'The performance starts at 19.30 and lasts approximately 2 hours and 45 minutes, including two intervals.' I imagine they could be wrong?

    Thank you for this. I greatly enjoyed watching '2017-02-19 Raymond Pas de Deux' in which Donald Macleary and Darcey Bussell were saying how they had got it wrong and that these are the correct steps! I do admire dancers willingness to learn all the time.

    I am sorry to say (for you) that there were no such problems at the cinema screening I went to and the bluebirds were totally wonderful. Hope for better for you next time.
  14. Janite
    I think this is the correct information, and I thought they were all excellent.
  15. Janite
    I think it is. I already have it recorded at home and I can check later.

    Another one on MHK MIYAKO, The Last Dance January 18, 2020 1:10 - 2:00 / 7:10 - 8:00 / 13:10 - 14:00 / 19:10 - 20:00 Miyako Yoshida's precise and delicate performances earned critical acclaim at the Royal Ballet of England. She remained true to her Japanese sensibilities in becoming the company's first Asian female principal dancer. A year before her retirement, however, she faced injury, emergency hospitalization and separation from a loved one. The program follows Yoshida for 300 days, culminating in her memorable final appearance.
