Swans and Ballet

Bit of a swan and ballet blog been meaning to mention....Nottingham Theatre Royal last week to see Mathew Bournes Production of Cinderella.  It was entertaining and enjoyable. The prices to sit on tiny little benches £25.00 ok for us but not for poor pregnant Gem in the end she took one of the 4 seats left for production company which the manager kindly consented too. 



Mathew Bournes Swan Lake which I saw at the Lowry in Manchester last year was magnificent and Richard Winsor as the lead swan utterly brilliant. The dancing was superb and although Cinderella was very good the sheer power, the strength that the Swan Lake dancers provided was lacking in Cinderella.

If you haven't seen Black Swan yet, then go see Natalie Portman in this cinematic fantastica, that is if you like ballet with a touch of horror.. Very good
