#Concerto much tighter than last time it was revived, too. All in all, quite the immersion in MacMillan’s world… #ROHmacmillanLaura Cappelle
Does anyone know why everyone else got bodysuits but Carlos Acosta had to play in his pants? Did he forget his kit? #ROHmacmillanMilly Melon
Concerto was plenty of fun and high energy, hoping for better synchronisation next time #ROHmacmillanLisa Marchi
Concerto is what a football crowd would look like if they got a professional in to choreograph the Mexican Wave #ROHMacmillanVampire Soup

Massive thumbs up for MacMillan’s Las Hermanas; a short narrative ballet packing plenty of drama in 26 min. #wewanttoseeitagainThe Ballet Bag

…and closed with the dream-like
Requiem …
#Requiem is a good deal less devastating than I remember. Very sad and calming, like walking through a country graveyard. #ROHmacmillanVampire Soup
@RoyalOperaHouse loved the sense of community in Requiem, almost like an anti-Rite of Spring #ROHMacmillanTim Johnson
Stunning Requiem to finish #ROHmacmillan. In particular, Nuñez and Benjamin giving consummate performances.DaveTriesBallet
Absolutely adore Requiem: the idea that such beauty can arise from such grief (both in music and choreography) is astounding. #ROHMacmillanMargaret B
