Sim Posted May 20, 2023 Share Posted May 20, 2023 Yes, there I was getting excited for a minute. Unfortunate planning....I hope they keep it on their website for a while so that those of us who can't see it at the time can see it afterwards. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jan McNulty Posted May 20, 2023 Share Posted May 20, 2023 08-10 June at the Birmingham Hippodrome; it is not scheduled to tour. These performances mark Brandon's final performances with the company before he moves to Zurich. 3 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peanut68 Posted May 22, 2023 Share Posted May 22, 2023 What a shame such a limited number of performances…. Wonder if one will be filmed? Be great if so to share Brandon’s last performance! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ondine Posted May 24, 2023 Share Posted May 24, 2023 I forgot about this! Looks as though there is time to still catch it. Kettle on! https://www.facebook.com/bhamroyalballet/videos/767243388457401/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jan McNulty Posted May 25, 2023 Share Posted May 25, 2023 I’ve thoroughly enjoyed just watching this (still available to view). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Balanchine with Brandon Lawrence and Céline Gittens, coaching from Patricia Neary and Carlos Acosta, how special is that? And the music! What a loss to British ballet is Brandon Lawrence. I can see why he feels the need to widen his horizons, but let's hope before too long he returns. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emeralds Posted May 27, 2023 Share Posted May 27, 2023 Fab video- just watched it. Love Celine Gittens’ Terpsichore solo and her outfit, which looked almost like the actual costume in the ballet without copying it. Enjoyed seeing Brandon in the solo and pas de deux - unfortunately will not be able to travel to Birmingham for the triple bill this month. He will be missed in the U.K.-maybe Cathy Marston and Alistair Spalding can be persuaded to have the Zurich company at Sadler’s Wells very soon. 😀 Good fun hearing Ms Neary’s anecdotes!

Odyssey Posted May 27, 2023 Share Posted May 27, 2023 (edited) This is a lovely watch. Would love to have witnessed the performance. These two have brought so much joy over the years. I love how Brandon is always so generous in his praise for his partners during his career. I bet he’s a dream to dance with. We will certainly miss him here, but I’m hopeful he’ll be back working with a leading UK company in the future.
