Hands hurting from clapping, brilliant performance from the @ENBallet ‘Solstice’ – especially loved Hollow – fab night! 🩰

After so long, it was unexpectedly moving to see live dancers and hear a live orchestra with @ENBallet greatest hits. 90 minutes. No interval. Socially distanced. I wish @TamaraRojo1 had appeared at the final curtain to receive credit for getting this show on the road again. https://t.co/HzzNAhenui

A feast of repertoire highlights in @ENBallet’s Solstice at @southbankcentre this afternoon. Akram Khan’s ‘Dust’ excerpts stunning and beautifully danced by @jeffreycirio & Emily Suzuki. A joy to see live dance again and hear ENB orchestra under @sutherlandgavin. #ENBSolstice. pic.twitter.com/6M6ZsxmG4t

The pandemic has shown there are things in life I can live without. @ENBallet reconfirmed for me yesterday that the Arts is not one of them. The soul needs nourishment #ENBSolstice @southbankcentre
Roll on Spring 2022! Can't wait for your Forsythe Evening

@ENBallet on fire this afternoon in #ENBSolstice at the Festival Hall. Whole host of stunning choreographic work on show with 'Broken Wing' by @annalopezochoa the icing on a very tasty cake. pic.twitter.com/xWUNy898px

A 100% moving and uplifting programme of modern and classic treats performed brilliantly by @ENballet. Loved everything, especially Akram Khan's haunting 'Dust' and William Forsythe's 'Playlist'. Thank you #ENBSolstice dancers. You are fantastic

Oh my god, I’M SO HAPPY. Solstice by @ENBallet is a mixed bill that blends classic works with contemporary with ease. Such technical excellence and innovation; such power, anguish and joy all wrapped up in a tight 90 minutes. GORGEOUS.

Last night I went to Solstice @southbankcentre I lost myself completely from start to finish.
Favourite moments:
"Dust" broke me. My heart ached and I sobbed.
"Three Preludes" soothed my sore heart & made it swell.
"Playlist (Track 1, 2)" was an absolute joy. Left me buzzing.— Jackie (@Jackpot73) June 20, 2021
