Oct 22, 2020 · Several years ago I visited the Jewish Museum in Amsterdam.

Wendy Whelan brought it to New York City Ballet in 2000 and danced it herself.

Dec 2, 2024 · David Walker's designs for Cinderella are my fave. His Act 1 dress for Cinderella makes all ballerinas who dance the role look beautiful despite it still having ragged hems and edges, compared to the current frumpy one.

Feb 4, 2025 · I understand that the Royal Ballet is top heavy and that opportunities have to be given to local dancers, but the Paris Opera Ballet is in a similar position (in fact, they have 154 dancers in addition to a youth company, and a retirement age of 42).
