Alexandra Posted July 11, 2001 Share Posted July 11, 2001 Could we have a Royal Ballet season recap, too, please? I think we have enough Londoners here to do it justice, and it was an important season, not only because it was Dowell's last, but because of the content. For younger balletgoers, I imagine there would have been works that they hadn't seen before -- "Les Noces," "Song of the Earth," etc. (And there's a chance to compare the Kirov's with the Royal's Firebird.)

Salome Posted July 14, 2001 Share Posted July 14, 2001 I'll try to do a proper one when I have time but for now just a couple of things that stand out to me: Tamara Rojo as Ondine Gloria Wildor's La Fille Rojo as Giselle Song of the earth, especially Leanne Benjaman and Johan Kobborg Come on, help me, where is everyone?
