Yes I was there Susan and thoroughly enjoyed it.Thought Ilze Liepa who I adore was fabulous and I was thrilled to bits to see her do something from Pique Dame.Hard to believe she will be 49 later this year.

Delighted to see Mara Galeazzi cast as Firebird but less than amused to see she isn't doing Tatiana in Onegin.

I am thrilled for Tamara to see her given this opportunity and I am sure she will be a great success.Some of you have far greater knowledge of ballet than I ever will but for me Tamara was is and always will be THE ballerina so I am equally delighted that she intends to continue performing though travelling around to watch her won't do my bank balance a lot of good!

The only critics that matter are the audience.

Sweet Violets is one of the best things I've seen for a long time.Danced and acted superbly by everyone and shows what a great future Liam has as a choreographer.

Only time will tell but if this was a decision made by ENB and not by Wayne its not a very clever one.

Absolutely stunned when this news broke.Whatever Sergei is planning for the future I wish him well.

Would just like to say how delighted 1 am to see the forum back up and running.
