Last night’s #ROHonegin was one for the ages. Matt Ball & Frankie Hayward ideal as Lensky & Olga. @NatOsipova returning to 1 of her best parts in coruscating form and Reece Clarke matching her in his role debut. I have rarely heard the house explode like that as the curtain fell

#ROHonegin today’s matinee was utterly sublime! Loved everything about it but a big shout out to the set designers for such breathtakingly beautiful staging and colours. My heart melted.

#ROHonegin one of those very, very special nights. Pretty much the perfect cast for Cranko’s masterpiece. So moving.

Fabulous start to #ROHonegin. Olga and Lensky taken to new heights by Harward/Ball. Quite literally scared of the heights Clarke lifts Osipova to in the dream pdd lifts- thrilling stuff
