No Hertford? :-(

No Hertford? :-(

Sadly not, possibly due to Vienna Festival going in October. Some theatres are reluctant to have more than one Ballet company per season. In our area some local Theatres always choose a certain touring Russian company if the "same" Ballet is being shown. Which I do understand from a programming point of view. What makes me cross is the assumption by some that Ballet has to be danced by Russians!

I hope they can come to the Market Place Theatre in Armagh eventually. Sadly I didn`t get to see them when they were here[there] last time. SL is usually performed by Moscow Ballet La Classique. But it would be great to see BTUK perform it.

There is now a trailer for Ballet Theatre UKs Swan Lake on You Tube.

Shows lovely dancers!

 

I may have viewed it once or twice......

[Jan McNulty]

Is this the clip you mean? (It's the only one I could find)

 

[hfbrew]

Sorry,no it isnt but yes it is hard to find! Ive just experimented with googling BalletTheatreUK1 you tube and got it that way!

First saw it on facebook and only seems to have been put on today- I believe ds is blissfully unaware of it!

Unfortunately cant use my mobile device to post it here!

Finally saw this at Bishops Stortford tonight and really enjoyed it.

 

Clever use of set as usual, great lighting and costumes.

A few wobbles from some but really liked Sarah Mortimer's Black Swan and Julia Davies' Odette.

 

Loved the ending, very dramatic and somewhat unexpected!

 

Von Rothbart was superb.

 

Wont say more as I know that I can not really give an unbiased view!

 

But please support the small touring Ballet companies that go where others dont!

Just back from matinee at Hinckley.

 

Wow. Very well performed by everyone this afternoon. Strong performances from all the leads.

 

Lovely to see this young company so well supported by a full and appreciative theatre. I was alarmed to see so many packets of sweets ( hate the rustle) being clutched by both adults and children but neednt have worried as they were all spellbound, even during the quiet bits!

Lovely video with insights into BTUK version of Swan Lake. What talented young people. So lovely to actually see Hfbrew's son dancing and giving an interview after we have watched his journey over the years on the forum.
