Review: Just tutu fabulous

Well, the men weren’t en pointe of course … oh, no, no … the men were en pointe. Except for those in the male roles – they weren’t en pointe; that would be silly. They weren’t in tutus either. Only the other men were in tutus.

After that the lights came up again on an empty stage and then … those unmistakable notes of the introduction to the Le Corsaire pas de deux. For a second my heart sank. I mention that Medora was dainty because some of the other ballerinas … weren’t. Take Columbine, for instance. A broad-shouldered lass. And so charmingly taken with her Harlequin.

Then …The Dying Swan. This particular swan must sing its song. It’s too much. It’s been done before by others, and better. The somewhat staunch Odette really has to escape from Liberace … uh … whatshisname? … Von Rothbart , and sees Siegfried’s backside … sees Siegfried as her saviour. She and her swans prance around on their toes with eager determination. The cygnets danced with gay abandon.
