Re: ballet?

I personally don't care for his Swan Lake, but I know I'm in the minority in that. I guess I prefer his revisions which stay a little closer to the source material, at least in terms of broad concepts. I really realllly want to see his Cinderella, which is set in WWII London. They filmed it professionally and it was on the BBC iPlayer for some time but I could never find a way to watch it from the USA. I think it's gone now...

I haven't!! Who choreographed it? What did you think?

The last I watched was Anthony Dowell's The Sleeping Beauty, from 1994. It was a really gorgeous production. I liked that it felt theatrical, thanks to the stage/production design being by the same person who did Phantom of the Opera on Broadway. I wish the video quality was better but I could live with it.

Gossip you mean? Ahhh not much except the recent Misty Copeland kerfluffle!
