Looking at this from the other side somewhat, my parents were lucky enough to have tickets and had an absolutely wonderful time. -

Not quite the same thing but we did have a loyal jubilee toast, proposed by Alex Beard, at the post-performance dinner. -

If you know the dancers (and therefore can identify the characters) and know the basics of what is going on, you should understand everything quite clearly, I think. -

There are some sexual references so need to take that in account for younger people. -

Usual cock-up from Wimbledon again today. MyWimbledon members get a link to buy tickets for Middle Sunday. The payment platform falls over and no-one can buy any tickets.

Having just renewed my friends membership, I noticed a useful new feature on the “membership” page when logged in. There is now a series of links to each of the productions included in the next booking period. -

Dancers list -
Just back from the matinée. Singing tremendous and the orchestra on top form. Staging was bland, confused and didn’t help to tell the story. The Bacchanale was booooorrring and unworthy of the name; if I’d been an attendee I’d have asked for my money back. The choreography was worthy of a primary school end of term show.

Royal Ballet's Swan Lake (Spring 2022)
bangorballetboy replied to MJW's topic in Performances seen & general discussions
Musically speaking, I think it's most appropriate for Siegfried to begin his entrance during the crescendo and complete it at the point of climax (and if he is running to the front of the stage, it is then easy for the conductor to time the climax at the correct time), rather than to begin his entrance at the climax. This is what happens in the Scarlett production and is what happens in every other Swan Lake production I've seen (other than, I think Matthew Bourne's, but don't quote me on that).- 1,276 replies
