    Thank you for saying that although I am not at all offended by any alternative view I suppose I used princely/princess to try to convey that to me they felt like beautiful, stylised, ballet dancers, which is lovely in itself, but did not seem to be connected with Billington/Patch.

    On 2nd viewing I still didn't find the ballet in any way memorable but I preferred O'Sullivan/Bracewell to Naghdi/Ball. They somehow managed to feel more like ordinary people, girl/boy next door whereas I felt that Naghdi & Ball were too princess/princely for the characters they were portraying. Bracewell has a very fluid quality of movement.

    I'd like to add to that list the recent Peter Jackson documentary "They Shall Not Grow Old"

    I only saw the rehearsal so far and I found The Unknown Soldier so dire it put me off going last night. Over the years Marriott has been given many opportunities to produce work for the main stage yet I cannot think of a single truly memorable piece. Time and time again the end result is at best mediocre choreography and a budget for sets, lighting, video effects and music that could surely be better spent. It baffles me that he continues to receive commissions. Leaving aside the masterpiece that is Gloria, IMO all three recent ballets in the ENB Triple Lest We Forget were way superior to The Unknown Soldier.

    Just had this Cast change for The Royal Ballet's The Nutcracker 12 December 2018 at 7.30pm and 15 December 2018 at 7pm Our records show that you are due to attend a performance of The Nutcracker. We are contacting you to let you know that due to injury, Kevin Jackson, who was due to perform as a guest artist with The Royal Ballet, will be replaced by Ryoichi Hirano as the Sugar Plum Prince.

    I agree with much of Sim's report above. I thought Mayara Magri made a solid debut which promises well for the future. She did rush some of the confrontation scene probably due to nerves but I felt she showed a strong stage presence and acted convincingly. Technically the steps are no struggle for her although she didn't finish the fouettes tidily. I'm afraid for me this is just not a good role for Matthew Ball. It doesn't play to his strengths, demanding more technically in the solo dancing than he seems able to deliver but offering little opportunity to show off his acting ability beyond looking troubled and conflicted. I went to Berlin last weekend to see Ratmansky's new Bayadere & I think that it would be a perfect vehicle for him because the role of Solor has far more mime and acting and minimal virtuoso dancing. A shout out for the terrific corps, looking better than they have for years.

    Is it definite that it has replaced the old style yearbook ? For last year I don't think it came out until December so I was still hoping .......

    Luke Jennings isn't actually calling for it to be removed, the quote is only an extract and his review goes on to say .... "Personally, I can’t imagine anyone taking La Bayadèreat face value, and I think that it should stand. Not as a monument to Europe’s one-time dominion over the Indian subcontinent and its peoples, but as a reminder of the repeated failure of colonial powers to comprehend civilisations older and subtler than their own."
