I was under the impression that Alina Cojocaru had been the next big thing for some time - a wonderful dancer. I think many people think of her as the star.
Of the British dancers, I've always liked Bethany Keating, but she doesn't seem to get as many opportunities as I've felt she deserved, and is still a soloist, as is Natasha Oughtred, another good one.
Alina is the best ballerina in the world, at this moment in time. |

Darce was on BBC Breakfast telly this morning (not live) - you see, there are rewards for being idle and watching television in the morning. I still laugh when I see the clips of her with Dawn French.

dyslexia runs in my family, i am sorry if those genes have moved over a little into me and hurt your eyes, i never do it on purpose, i am actually a rather nice fellow, bit mad,not at all bad and a pleasure to know but one is constrained by ones genetic inheritance  |

No don't leave, you've just admitted you DO know how to spell her name and know how to correct errors so should be OK now eh? |

She cried a lot, didn't she? Not many people can look both sniffly and beautiful. It was lovely to see Monica Mason and Donald Macleary, both of whom I remember well in their dancing days, looking elegant and stylish as ever. Jonathan Cope spoke very well, I thought.
I hate that ballet, the most naive response to Mahler imaginable. The singing I thought quite good - Catherine Wyn Rogers and David Rendall.
Unworthy thoughts on this (I seem to be having a lot of these lately). When the Abschied went into "Ewig, ewig" I was reminded that when I sang Mahler with my choir this (in another context) was always referred to as "Earwig, earwig".

Silly, I know, but I shall always think of her as Dancey Bussell

not my kind of ballet,forwarded through it, audience looked like tourists, all taking pictures !, lol
ahhh,poor darcey crying, bet it was rather emotional, odd to see the backstage practice stuff, one of my friends dances at covent garden and is bizarre to think of her in leg warmers but I suppose she must wear them sometimes
