that could look mighty confusing! :-)

OR - a triple of triples: Balanchine - Emeralds, Serenade, Symphony in C MacMillan - Concerto, Gloria, Requiem Ashton - Monotones I & II, Rhapsody, Scenes de Ballet, Symphonic Variations (4, cos they are all fairly short)

Didn't they dance the same role?

Symphonic Variations Requiem Symphony in C

I've started a new thread, as the other one seems to have meandered off topic...

Hi Petunia - don't think Kingsland Road offers much, though there is Arnold Circus off that road, that might be worth 5mins. Otherwise after the Truman Brewery, Spitalfields is only 5-10mins walk away, so should be easily doable. Then I'd cut through to Bishopsgate and tube from Liverpool St. Brick Lane just full of tatty curry houses with young men trying to vie for your custom, which if you're either not hungry or sober (or both) can be amusing, if you're not intimidated by that sort of thing. If you're interested in popular music or records in general, Rough Trade East (in a side street off Brick Lane) worth a visit - if you're not, then ignore this last bit.

I'd book using the company you're travelling on's website direct - you usually avoid the booking fee that the Trainline.com charge you, and the fares are the same If you buy the cheapest fare, you usually have to travel on that train specifically, as its part of the deal

Yes, they would have been on my wish list for the coming season too, so hopefully they will appear next season now. Just to add my praise for last night's Jewels performers - they all seem to be getting better with each show. Emeralds never fails to gently grip my being - I could almost go home once its finished! Thought all the leads were lovely last night; Ms Mendizabal and Mr Edmonds were very fine in their duet. The pdt trio of Mr Acri, the radiant Ms Gasparini, the glowing Ms Hinkis, were all a joy to watch - but as others have said, the pairing of Ms Naghdi and Mr Ball was sublime. And praise for the corps too, all moving with such grace. Rubies then does the equivalent of ka-pow! after its almost serene start. Both Ms Lamb and Mr McRae fizzled and sizzled with energetic grace - and Ms Heap as the lone woman defied us not to be wowed. And wowed we were! Diamonds is not my favourite of the three, because of the somewhat muddling final section, but do love the opening sequence with the corps, and who can't love the long pdd in section two. Ms Cuthbertson was serene - and no praise can be high enough for Mr Muntagirov, he was simply sensational. Special mention too for Emma Maguire as one of the four female soloists; its always a pleasure to watch her dance. Can't wait to see it all again now - though have to wait until after the Easter spring clean (which will make a trip to the ballet all the more deserved for me!)

Ms Takada was easily my favourite 'Girl' in 2 Pigeons last run - and probably Giselle too. So good to see her back in prime form after her debilitating injury. I always enjoy her performances :-) Nice article and great to see her featured

I've just got around to watching the new season promo on YouTube. The only word that springs to mind is - ghastly I blame the opera dept!

I'm sure 'im indoors has just added that to room 101... :-)

literally!

I don't think I'll even see it once - my revulsion still pretty vivid from last time

mixed bag for me - will see most Giselles, most of the mixed bills (whilst avoiding Judas Tree like the plague, as that ruins a bill with Gloria or Song of the Earth in it), love the daftness in Sylvia (goats excepted) so see most of those; a good few Nutcrackers, though many are unavailable due to work/family commitments; hoping the Swan Lake isn't mucked about with TOO much; Manon, will see some of the interesting casting - same for Winters Tale (like - but is back pretty soon, isn't it!) and Alice (same as Winter's). Will sit out Marguerite I expect, unless its someone I like dancing it. Glad Obsidian Tear back, but not really for 'Untouchable' (found that a bit dull), and will be interested to see the new works, as ever.
