    Loved the red socks and light floor so we could appreciate his stunning footwork and elevation 🤗

    You can get Sky Arts with a Nowtv box and Entertainment Pass. Full price for the pass is 7.99 a month and you can cancel anytime. New customer offers are always around, currently I have seen a 6 month pass for about £24. The box itself is tiny and inexpensive. I got mine when my Sony tv stopped supporting Iplayer.

    Just caught this, it is on catchup for 29 days. Better known as Symphony in C or the titles said something like symphonie en ut. It is costumed by Christian Lacroix so very ornate and colourful. I am undecided about the majority of the tutus, they reminded me of the shape of jammy dodgers and I was concerned for the partners hands on the jewelled bodices. Apart from those distractions it was very well performed but with too many closeups for my taste. Happily it was very brightly lit Thank you for the heads up mimi’smom.

    I don’t want to enter this debate, but I seem to remember that Tamara took a sabbatical from the RB to shadow an AD in Canada, possibly Karen Kain.

    I was just on facebook and up popped a short video of Nunez and Muntagirov in Giselle performing the section containing the swallow lift, not once, but twice ...... just beautiful.

    I think the cinema screenings are now too expensive to attract novice audiences. I used to go to all the screenings including theatre, but now I am much more selective when it comes to spending around £20 on a seat. Would it be possible to occasionally have a heavily subsidised screening of Nutcracker, Swan Lake or Fille (and advertise widely) and encourage school outings ?

    Thank you for the heads up Alison. Happily my local Vue (Watford) is showing this and also has resumed the Royal Ballet live streams - brilliant news.

    A few years ago I had my first experience of the 'Kirov' at the Mariinsky theatre. I treated myself to good seats, first circle almost centre. As the lights went down it was as though the starting gun for the 60 second dash had sounded and there was a massive charge of people grabbing/changing seats. This was amplified as the seats were wooden chairs on a wooden floor joined only by a simple wooden bar. Within a few seconds all was absolutely still - even now the memory is making me smile.

    I was especially grateful as I had to miss the broadcast due to a heavy cough and cold, so I was able to curl up for a blissful afternoon and not annoy anyone else
