alison Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 End of an era indeed. Things will never be quite the same again. Wait for any remaining tickets for "Sacred Monsters" at Sadler's Wells to go flying off the shelves (if you see what I mean). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LupusMelis Posted August 15, 2014 Share Posted August 15, 2014 We've always known it was going to happen at some point, but so soon?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruce Wall Posted August 15, 2014 Share Posted August 15, 2014 (edited) The woman will be over 50! I would say that was a great innings .... and I (for just one) am deeply appreciative for the magic that was well and truly received. There was no question but that she did it her way. Who could ask for anything more. Edited August 15, 2014 by Bruce Wall 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LupusMelis Posted August 15, 2014 Share Posted August 15, 2014 I am incredibly appreciative too, but sad that I probably won't get the chance to see her perform over the next 12 months. And she certainly did do it her way!!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Two Pigeons Posted August 16, 2014 Share Posted August 16, 2014 One of ballet's true greats. I am grateful to have seen her. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ann Williams Posted August 16, 2014 Share Posted August 16, 2014 I'm astonished that this news has not apparently hit the British media yet - or if it has, I've missed the references. I'm sad at this inevitable news. Guillem lit up whatever stage she was on, with her unforced attack and her clear, intelligent acting She also, I found, seemed to raise the games of dancers performing with her. We were fortunate to have her, and probably won't see her like for a long time - I wish her the very best for whatever future plans she has. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lisa O`Brien Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 Just read the front page of The Times on my Twitter feed with this headline and a photo of her. Couldn`t read all the writing as it was too small. Think it said she was going to do a tour first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian Macmillan Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 Displacing the Duchess of Cambridge, Mrs Clooney and all others - a radiant Ms Guillem (In her Marguerite costume, I think) is this morning's Page 1 Girl for The Times. The accompanying article is a bit further back, on page 7. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
