Royal Ballet The Cellist Insight 22 01 20

[Richard LH]

I managed to get a last minute ticket to this and found it enthralling to see the dancers, choreographers and musicians working together to bring this new ballet into being. It looks like being a very powerful and emotional tribute to the too-short life of an amazing woman.

I saw it on YouTube, can't wait to see it performed.

Right at the moment, the video seems unplayable - and, despite the link on a Tweet from Cathy, it's shown as 'unavailable.'  I trust that matters will improve.

I watched it via TouTube 'live' as it were, and had no problems - except when people were speaking out of range of a mic.

Very enjoyable and informative Insight, I thought

Great to see the collaboration between Marston/Cuthbertson/Sambe. it seems a real team effort and some of the pas de deux look really dramatic and exciting. Must be wonderful for Marcellino to have his first major role choreographed on him. A great milestone in his career. I hope it's a success. there still seem to be plenty of tickets on sale. Looking forward to seeing the first cast at the cinema and second cast at the ROH though once again shame about no matinees.  I'm sure I'm not the only person who can't get home at night and appreciates a matinee (even if tickets are now full price!). Also for a programme which isn't so well known or obviously appealing to non-ballet regulars I'm sure people are put off attending if they know they have to pay extra for accommodation. I would have thought if one of the evening performances had been a Saturday matinee it would have done better.

It is a shame about the lack of a matinee. I have booked for the 18th and have had to take an afternoon’s holiday from work in order to get up to London !

I have just watched this Insight.  I can't wait to see this ballet.  It looks beautiful and emotional and I like the premise of a mutual relationship between the cello and the musician.

The 12.15 session of Ballet Studio Live today featured Beatriz Stix Brunell and Cesar Corrales rehearsing the Du Pre/Barenboim pas de deux with Cathy Marston. It's a very inventive piece.
