The Royal Ballet

did anyone watch the Royal Ballet's production of Alice in Wonderland last night, on BBC 4. I didn't catch all of it, and i am not a big ballet fan, but this was truly stunning.

only me then, for those who like or love ballet you missed a treat.

No, not only you! It is an amazing show, whether you're into dance or not. Try and catch it live - it's coming back to the ROH in March. They are also broadcasting a live performance at hundreds of cinemas throughout the country/world on one night (28th March).

glad to see there is one other, i absolutely loved it, and as said not a great big fan of ballet. It was so thrilling, the costumes incredible, and the leads brilliant. ROH can certainly pull out the stops when it wants to. I looked it up
and this was the show from 2011. I am considerably buying the dvd of it.

i have always loved dance by the way, more Fred Astaire than Darcy Bussell. I have seen a couple of ballets, notably the wonderful Nutcracker,
but this was sublime
