Francesca's last day at RB

[zxDaveM]

I hear its Francesca Filpi's last performance at the Royal Ballet today - so sad i missed it. Hoping her life after RB, is an exciting one, and I can't wish her enough good thoughts

Sad to hear this is her last performance, but she has an interesting project in Morocco with Dar Danse. She and her family are building a Dance centre there - check out the Wells Ballet courses for photos and information. There is also an article in January's Dancing Times.

Sorry to see her go, too, but I assumed she would have other projects lined up, and wish her all the best. I shall miss her Fairy Godmother in particular, but also a number of other roles.

I'll be really sad to see Francesca go. Like Alison,. I'll miss her Fairy Godmother. This was a role which suited her to perfection. Amongst her many other roles, she was a gorgeous big swan.

 

Some time ago, at a Ballet Association meeting, she said that the role she would most like to do was the nurse in Romeo and Juliet! I have no memory of her achieving this ambition. A pity!

John - thanks for the link. What a glorious vision. Very best wishes to Francesca and her family in this venture.
