Marianela Nunez in Swan Lake
There was a good-sized crowd at the screening of Swan Lake last night. Several of them told me that they had never seen a ballet before but that they had been inspired to come along after watching the film, ‘Black Swan’. I haven’t seen it but I’ve been told it’s a bit of a horror film so I hope they weren’t too disappointed to see the Royal Ballet version!
Marianela Nunez danced Odette/Odile and she was amazing – elegant, fluid and very bendy! The chorus of swans, twenty-four of them, glided around the stage beautifully and the whole thing was spectacular. Almost as good as being in the Opera House
Many of the audience, as they were leaving, said how much they had enjoyed the show and several of them commented on what a superb facility the Centre is, offering the opportunity to see world-class performances in the comfort of our own island! I hope they tell all their friends!
