Sophoife Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 It was the most beautiful night, @naomikage. Senior Artist of seven years, all but one of the current principals leapfrogged her, and when she retired she had her very long hair cut and donated it for a wig for an ill child. She was partnered by Chris Rodgers-Wilson, and the atmosphere on stage spread to the audience - joyous but a little sad at the same time. Link to comment
naomikage Posted April 18, 2017 Author Share Posted April 18, 2017 Thank you Sophoife, so lovely to hear about her farewell performance. It should have been so emotional. I follow her on Instagram so at least I can keep up with what she's up to. Link to comment
