Tchaikovsky Classics with the Royal Ballet Sinfonia & Birmingham Royal Ballet at Symphony Hall 2024

If they were to present a Swan Lake piece next year it would probably be either the Waltz, Act 3 pas de Quatre (?if there's enough space- the men cover a lot of space dancing the "solo" at the same time, sometimes travelling in opposite directions) or Neapolitan Dance as those have notable choreography by Ashton. Nice woodwind and brass in the PDQ and the female variations don't travel much.

There used to be a hugely popular TV series called Father Ted. It has been repeated so many times I hoped I wouldn't have to explain. It was about three Catholic priests and their 'characterful' housekeeper living together in Ireland. He was the unkempt retired priest who sat in a chair shouting and swearing. Stuff of many memes on t'internet too.

He's not a popular beat combo. (No I'm not explaining that one, those of us of a certain age should get the ref.)
