Swan Lake

by Jet Set Ayo Sue on May.27, 2010, under Must Go See

If you read my Diary regularly you will be well aware of my love of all things dance. From salsa to jazz to the sheer exhilarating spectacle of ballet. And let’s be honest even if ballet is not your thing, you have to admit that they can’t half dance. But I love ballet and always jump at every opportunity to go. That’s why I don’t want to miss the English National Ballet’s Swan Lake at the Royal Albert Hall. It’s a limited season from 9th June to the 19th June with only 12 performances.

Swan Lake is probably the most well known of all the ballets, and is always a favourite. It certainly is one of mine. It’s a fabulous spectacle with unparalled feats of dance. And talking of feat yes it is the one whereby the ballerinas spend most of their time dancing on the tips of their toes.  Great pleasure for us but excruciating pain for them. Oh well they say to really know your art you have to suffer for your art. Painful it is for them but what a magnificent spectacle it is. It’s done on a huge scale with one of the most enigmatic and stirring scores penned by Tchaikovsky. Apparently there is going to be over 60 swans on the stage, it will be simply awe inspiring. 

Swan Lake is truly a magnificent spectacle. It never fails to thrill and stir the emotions and frankly it always leaves me with an unspent rapturous excitement. It’s a great and compelling drama and I absolutely love it. It never fails to get me going, the passion and the exhilaration of the show.



So fancy joining me? send me an email, and after a show like that we’ll both have the biggest smile in our face :)))
