zxDaveM Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 This was Tamara's last performance as a member of the company before becoming ENB's Artistic Director. We WILL see her guest at ROH though, thank goodness! Tamara Rojo after her last Royal Ballet performance, as a company member © Dave Morgan.

Don Q Fan Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 Again lovely pics Dave - thank you for sharing. Tamara looked pretty emotional at her Birthday Offering curtain calls too. Hopefully we will get to see her dance with ENB in the future. Interesting times ahead. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patsomerset Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 Yes, again, lovely pictures. Shame about the costumes though. They are all, without exception, unflattering and ugly. Can someone assure me that they were better in real life? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anjuli_Bai Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 Much luck to her in the future! Her pointe shoe ribbon/elastics are interesting.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patsomerset Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 They weren't! Oh Dear! That is what I was afraid of. Tamara must have worn some beautiful and elegant costumes during her time with RB. What a shame the last costume should be so unflattering. The same goes for those for the rest of the cast and they all form the background to both farewells I am very sad to see them both go but I wish them both luck and happiness in the future Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was too busy looking at the costume but as you say, the shoes are 'interesting' too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aileen Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 Don't get me started on the subject of unflattering costumes! I've already had a rant on the Ballet Preljocaj thread in the Performances Seen section of the forum. Most of the costumes in the triple bill were unattractive IMO. You've seen the Machina costumes. The crescent moon patterned leotards in Trespass seemed to be too tight and the pattern did not come across well from a distance. The costumes in D&A were a mish-mash of colours and styles and the frilled leotards worn by the nymphs were particularly unattractive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alison Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 In all fairness, I think the costume looked better in performance than it does in ... repose, shall we say. If you're able to get to the National Gallery exhibition, you can see a copy there. And Dave, I love Carlos' "ultimate accolade" - which I totally missed spotting. Looks just like what on various bulletin boards comes up as a :not worthy: smiley, although I don't think it'll work here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fonty Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 Just been looking at these pictures. I can't tell, are the ladies bare legged? I particularly hate that... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
