    I was surprised to see no audience videos, sometimes in galas and shows on tour you might get some, so well done to the audiences in respecting the rules (it's a huge bugbear of mine when audience members get their phones out and record)

    Vadim's Instagram is so like him as a person, just kind of gentle and sweet and nothing at all to bother anyone. Very pure!

    Maybe we'll be looking at a group discount on a forumwide trip, we're all being tempted!

    Even better, time to save and prepare, it's somewhere I want to go to anyway, so this will give me the push! And fingers crossed for the lottery!

    My sentiments exactly, Jenny's posts have made it call come to life and I'm wondering if I can somehow get myself to Tokyo for next season. What treats that audience received!

    It's rather sad sometimes to see a standout performance and the audience are running out of the building instead of applauding because they have to catch the last train. Although I do find the audience can be appreciative but sometimes in a way that seems that it was expected that the show was amazing, and so just keep it to quite polite applause.

    Thank you for this lovely report, I am very jealous of these audiences. I've long wanted those two partnered over here in London, but it would be wonderful to see them in Romeo and Juliet together, but we'd have to wait a little while before that, hopefully Manon...

    I have no idea either way, but that's what run through my mind, that Swan Lake had to cost a fortune and likewise, to do another one would be costly too, add in the they 'need' Swan Lake, it's a money maker, they weren't going to drop it and not run Swan Lake for the years it'll take to come up with another one or even go back (if possible).

    Well I hope it surprises you or at least Laura's send off is everything you wish it to be. Will there be the flower toss?

    Thank you, this was lovely. I remember on the night thinking that Marci really suited the style, and seeing this back just confirms it.
  11. emmarose
    I hope it'll all be worth it and you enjoy tonight.

    It really was. All four men I thought danced the piece beautifully. It was one of my highlights from the night.

    Oh that's interesting, for any particular reason? Or am I going to have to wait until I buy my book? (hopefully next time I'm ROH bound)

    Oh isn't that lovely, I never tire watching him and that was so beautiful along with his history. I actually love that song. There's also a beautiful instrumental version of it played by Emile Pandolfi which I think is quite lovely and another by Leiki Ueda. It lends itself to be danced to.

    Yes, and a lovely PDD it is, but mostly it's just partnering for Vadim, and whilst he does it beautifully (he could just walk up and down and he'd do it beautifully) there's nothing in it that shows him off in any way, or that other dancers couldn't easily do. For everything he has, there is no piece of work that's been created to show off his sublime dancing and technique. Honestly, it's something I think about now and again, usually when there's another new Wayne piece, and I can't help but feel so sad at what a shame it is.
  16. emmarose
    And isn't that a crying shame? One of the finest classical dancers of his generation and there's no work that's going to be left behind that's created for him. Add in Nela and Naghdi and their world class technique and I'm sorry to say, I am left wanting. I know it's harsh, but there's only so many times I can see Wayne Mcgregor and the constant hyper-extending lines before I think that it's somewhat of a waste of talent just sitting there with no new classical pieces.
  17. emmarose
    Harsh, but what classical pieces have been created? Take Vadim, one of the most beautiful classical dancers, and what has been created for him lately? There have been interesting works, yes, but anything that will survive and be revived generations from now? And again, what real classical pieces? It just feels like a waste to have these classical dancers in their prime and being world class and not anything that sits beautifully on them. When you think of generations in the past and the works that they got created on them, we are somewhat lacking right now.
  18. emmarose
    I think he's amazing, and has a huge future in front of him.
  19. emmarose
    It's something that I can never quite understand, the RB have a stable of some of the finest classical dancers in the world and absolutely nobody to create anything for them.
  20. emmarose
    It's funny, because sometimes I actually think Bracewell has a very mature look about him, sometimes seeming to look a little older than Vadim, who can look very boyish at times. I thought they danced and matched very well in brief glimpses we've seen.

    I subscribe to Kathryn, so I saw this the day she uploaded, I thought it was absolutely fascinating.
  22. emmarose
    Also in Beauty too. Fairies in lilac alongside the leading role seemed to be a big thing for her this season!
  23. emmarose
    Well.... that's more than a bit interesting!

    During COVID lockdowns there was an article that stated that a big percentage of their yearly earnings comes from Nutcracker season. I don't begrudge them The Nutcracker if it keeps the company running.
