Recently, we watched a recording of English National Ballet dancing Derek Deane’s production of ‘Swan Lake.’ It was recorded at the Royal Albert Hall in 2024. It was wonderful to see it danced ‘in the round’ and the camera work was phenomenal.
There were sixty ‘swans’ and they caught Herschel’s attention. If he could have joined them, he would have done. He also enjoyed the evil sorcerer Rothbart’s frenetic flight around the stage in his splendid costume. He looked like a huge, threatening bird of prey.
Superlative dancing, glorious costumes, and Tchaikovsky’s music created a superb production and one we highly recommend.
