I do hope she stays injury free after having suffered two very bad injuries which slowed her down. I can’t comtribute to the main point of discussion, but having recently arrived in London for a visit went to the first of three Swan Lakes last night and think I am now a Kaneko fan. Certainly will be looking out for her at future performances. Actually, when I opened my program and saw the names of so many dancers unfamiliar to me in the secondary featured roles (other than Magri whom I know from video) I gave up trying to keep track of who was who and just watched ‘purely’ so to speak, uninfluenced by having read that ‘xyz’ was one to watch etc. I enjoyed the dancing of both of the two featured ‘big’ swans, but in Act II, one in particular kept drawing my eye over and over...when I checked my program I saw that the dancer was Fumi Kaneko.

Thank you. I usually post rather detailed reports on what I see on my “home” board (BalletAlert) which is more North-America-centric, but will try to say something here. Probably when my trip is over and I can sit at a keyboard. I am certainly happy to be seeing the production in its premier season....and am also trying to catch up with much of the talent mentioned in this thread.
