I must say that this was an unexpected lovely evening because not only was I invited to attend with wonderful seats at the last minute; but also I had the opportunity to see this ballet once again, but this time performed by the Royal Ballet.
It was a delight to see a complete work by Balanchine (one of my earliest influences in choreography) at the Royal Opera House in which three of my favourite Royal Ballet ballerinas: Tamara Rojo, Sarah Lamb and Alina Cojocaru were performing in. It was refreshing to see pure neoclassicism on stage performed so elegantly and with great lyricism that characterizes Balanchine’s work. Alina was just flawless in Diamonds! And that’s why she gets paid the big bucks as she also performs as a guest artist with companies worldwide.
