And in rehearsal…
Such a comfort to see Mr. Hallberg rebounding from his injuries. The entire cast looks absolutely beautiful. Wish I had been there! The photography is stunning.
I came over especially for this performance with my daughter from the UK. It was as good as the photos show. I have plenty of DVD’s of Svetlana Zakharova, but have never seen her live. She was beautiful. I saw Mr Hallberg at The ROH in May this year in Romeo and Juliet, and he is exceptional, with such an amazing stage presence. The whole company got a wonderful, and well deserved reception. It was a really memorable evening.
