Thank you!! ❣️

I was wondering the same! Also, the lights got noticeably brighter in the middle of a couple of scenes, so maybe someone is reading this. I found tonight's performance slightly underwhelming. The dancing was superb, but it was not nearly as emotional as the last two performances. I liked Yasmine Naghdi, but I was still too transfixed by Fumi Kaneko – that speed! that precision! those endless legs! – although I liked her death scene quite a bit, especially the muted scream and the extra-painful crowling towards Romeo: for a moment I thought she would have died before reaching him! And it was graceful of her to give VM a rose during the curtain call. On the whole I thought that Corrales & Hayward had the strongest sexual tension (I'll never forget the thrill of when he lifted her on points to kiss her), Bracewell & Kaneko were the most romantic, while Muntagirov & Naghdi's relationship is more puppy love. I liked how he kissed her shoulders during the balcony scene, but on the whole I think I never believed they were deeply in love. I was also disappointed by Thomas Whitehead, there's nothing wrong with his performance but he's not quite on par with Ryochi Hirano or Matt Ball. Luca Acri was great tho, I think I liked him better than on Saturday, when I still had Marcelino Sambé's electrifying Mercutio too impressed in my eyes and mind.
