Anna C Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 No Hertford? :-( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hfbrew Posted September 10, 2014 Author Share Posted September 10, 2014 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! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lisa O`Brien Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hfbrew Posted October 14, 2014 Author Share Posted October 14, 2014 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!

hfbrew Posted October 26, 2014 Author Share Posted October 26, 2014 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! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hfbrew Posted November 23, 2014 Author Share Posted November 23, 2014 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! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nana Lily Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 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. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
