Sim Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 Thanks, Tim B, for bringing it to our attention and thanks John for posting it up. I notice a distinct lack of flowers.....do the French not have the tradition of giving a dancer flowers on stage? Just curious.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tim b Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 re flowers - you are right - i have never noticed them do so - mind you a flower throw would present logistical problems as the width of pit & depth of stage at Palais Garnier is pretty tremendous - but they do have dibs of the "grand defile" which is one of the most spectacular quarters of an hour in classical ballet (IMO) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gingerbread Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 "Ballerina Darcey Bussell is also said to be involved in the closing ceremony. Royal Ballet dancers are rumoured to appear dressed as flames and Bussell is the phoenix." This is from today's London Evening Standard - a piece about the Olympics. This is the link but I've not done a link before on this site so it might not work. There's nothing more in the article about ballet than what I have quoted above anyway. But in any event it's an interesting idea! http://www.thisislondon.co.uk/olympics/olympic-news/queen-could-drop-in-on-olympic-games-via-helicopter-7753889.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These are bouquets sent to the stage door by friends, fans and families of the ballerina(s) dancing that night, and an usher presents them to her/them onstage. And yes....no-one does a grand defile like the POB!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
