alison Posted August 23, 2023 Share Posted August 23, 2023 I'd assumed it was out already, since I'd already seen reviews. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sebastian Posted August 25, 2023 Share Posted August 25, 2023 I have had the privilege of receiving an early copy and am impressed. Not finished reading yet but I am sure the book will be well reviewed. Based on substantial research and many interviews, the biography (running into the autumn of 2022) comes in at over 400 pages. Recommended. 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dawnstar Posted August 26, 2023 Share Posted August 26, 2023 Reading the article (yes, I waited until today's links) I'm sad to see that Ratmansky does not want The Bright Stream to be performed again. I really enjoyed it when the Bolshoi did it at the ROH in 2019. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alison Posted August 26, 2023 Share Posted August 26, 2023 I was flipping through the hard copy of the Guardian today when I spotted the article. Nice to see someone still bothers putting this sort of thing in print. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
