Royal Ballet Triple: Your thoughts
A triple header of works by Wheeldon, Scarlett and McGregor sees a mix of fashion, pop, drama and dance.
- We went and asked a few audience members for their thoughts during the intervals...
- ^ Helena, Breeze and Kelly: "We were most excited for Sweet Violets and really like contemporary works. Polyphonia really drew your attention too!"
- ^ Rebecca: "I'd seen Polyphonia before in Canada and really enjoyed it. It was really intense!"
- ^ Eric: "I'm most excited for Carbon Life. I'm always interested to see new McGregor!"
- ^ Amy and Jessica: "Sweet Violets was our favourite but we should have read up on the story. It was beautiful in a horrific kind of way!"
- ^ Marc and Jessica: "This is our first time here - it's a bit of a rite of passage. Polyphonia was a bit difficult to follow but it was definitely interesting!"
- A selection of your tweets about an opening night that included not one, but two premieres...
Think the #ROHtriple went down a bit like marmite, very mixed reviews hopefully wont put RB off trying new things got to keep moving forward
McGregor pulled something out of the hat tonight, but Liam Scarlett's Sweet Violets was a triumph. Great night. #rohtriple
Well that just about knocked my socks off, #CarbonLife was not what I was expecting! Loved the music, the costumes, the energy! #ROHtriple
pretty disappointed by #ROHtriple. SV needs editing for me, story takes from The Lesson & Manon no?
We LOVED #carbonlife costume and design by Gareth Pugh! Must go to the ballet more often!
L. & I agree on #CarbonLife = up there w/ McGregor's greatest hits. Literally ballet that ROCKS! E. #rohtriple- ... but we're split on #SweetViolets. I though Scarlett created interesting "tableaux", but somehow expected more from choreography. E
On the way home from my 1st #RoyalBallet experience@#ROHtriple amazing works! Inspired&motivated! Wayne McGregor, Liam Scarlett WOW. Happy.- Liam Scarlett offered a preview of Sweet Violets as part of Royal Ballet Live...
- Gareth Pugh's costumes for Carbon Life caused a stir. What do you think of his designs?
