Sounds just my cup of tea, for the most part - now all I need to do is to find some way of moving to Japan and then being able to afford to go to the ballet there

Please come, as soon as the current COVID-19 situation gets better and the borders open! The theatre has nice sightlines and good acoustic, and the dancers are very good. (and occasionally Vadim Muntagirov guests) Yoshida's leadership is very successful now.

Even if I hadn't loved Miyako from the very first time I saw her, about 1984 as I remember, I would love her all over again for her clear love of Ashton's Cinderella.
