Heading home – picture is a bit blurry because I was dancing up the platform. SO good, SO cleverly done. Checking timetables for Southampton because I want to see it again! pic.twitter.com/ZSIY0yXh4m

I had an evening out at the ballet watching Raymonda at the London Coliseum.
It was a pleasant experience with great music and dancing, but I particularly enjoyed the historical accuracy or the lamps used! pic.twitter.com/flVEgpyR6W— Josh Seymour (@museum_josh) January 22, 2022

Loved @TamaraRojo1’s take on Raymonda for @ENBallet at @LondonColiseum, set in Crimean War and inspired by women who supported the soldiers. The dancing and music is magnificent. @sutherlandgavin and ENB Philharmonic do great things with Glazunov’s glorious score. #ENBRaymonda. pic.twitter.com/LhSY6Yxiee

Well this was lovely @ENBallet – despite the transport disasters we managed to encounter both ways. A first trip back to the coliseum since the pandemic so the 12 year old could watch her bassoon teacher – but really rather marvellous even for ballet newbies. #Raymonda pic.twitter.com/fhKS7abZSE

Caught @ENBallet’s extraordinary Raymonda in its final weekend. I think it might be the best ballet I’ve ever seen. Tempted to book for Southampton in Nov. If you’re nearby – SEE IT. Thank you @TamaraRojo1 🙏 pic.twitter.com/FxmpyYk2PY

I know little about original Raymonda but @TamaraRojo1 ‘s new version is an absolute delight – fiendishly difficult choreography delivered with such panache by the fabulous @ENBallet , those costumes, & that music!! A joyous night out for me. @sutherlandgavin

Raymonda at the English National Ballet is brilliant. Tamara Rojas' production is moving, lusty, and so skillfully executed that you could believe humans could fly. There is a moment in Act 3 when you can hear a pin drop. Congratulations to the entire company…and it was packed!

At Raymonda @ENBallet last night! Fresh updating, with nuanced performances, esp Emma Hawes as the lead. #ENBRaymonda
At the curtain call, they announced on stage that two of the cast have been promoted to Principal Dancers.
I think we should do this for academic promotions. pic.twitter.com/CAPDX2S1bN— James Lee (@jamessflee) January 22, 2022
