I can’t imagine why Hamlet and Ophelia are not performed more as it is absolutely stunning with the background projections!

Really enjoyed Hamlet and Ophelia. William Bracewell is such a wonderful dancer, and Bracewell and Hayward are amazing together, as always.

Wonderful. The documentary was fantastic. I'd love to see all the vintage B/W footage of The Dream with Dowell and Sibley.

So cool to see some Ashton works that may have fell by the wayside from the passage of time. Favourite performance goes to William Bracewell's Hamlet (so broody and struggling from the madness of grief of his father's death), while Francesca is a beautiful and extremely vulnerable Ophelia

This was such a joy to watch. Discovering a "new" Ashton ballet is always a pleasure. Well-derserved bravos for Matthew Ball's stunning Fisherman solo, which I particularly enjoyed. And that Degas-inspired "Foyer de Danse" adagio is so beautiful. They should bring both back.

While all this is lovely, what was Anthony Dowell and other directors, not to mention the various members of RB Board of Directors over the years _thinking_ during their tenures in losing track of all of these ballets, and so many more, now that everybody’s dead and gone?? In every documentary about the RB or one of its icons, going 40 years back, all you hear is _“Frederick Ashton, Frederick Ashton, FREDERICK ASHTON,”_ by several snooty voices, as though his work puts the RB above every company in the world, *BUT NOBODY ONCE THOUGHT TO PRESERVE HIS BALLETS?!?!?!?* Seriously, I never go to the CAPS, but this is absolutely shameful!!!

@user-du1mn7zx7n 2 года назад

O' Sullivan was overhyped by the fans during the pandemic and was put as a principal way too early. Gorgeous but lacking which is evident in Sylvia variation. RB shouldn't have listened to the fans and gave her more time to improve.
