At the ballet

Our early morning line up produced great seats for the last nights show of Romeo and Juliet by the Royal Ballet. Only about 10m away from the stage but to the side a bit. We could see into the orchestra pit which was very cool.

And we were lucky enough to see the male lead "everyone" is talking about, Carlos Acosta. He was good but Trav and I particularly loved the lead female, Tamara Rojo. She was beautiful and a perfect dancer and actress. They were a sweet R&J :)

Trav's fav bit was when she gave her arranged suitor the cold shoulder- really nice pas de deux where she danced uninterested. Also v impressive when she was 'dead' and Romeo tried to reenact their earlier dance. He just threw her about (gracefully of course).

Lots of curtain calls at the end and many rich 'bravo-ers' near us... This made me giggle but yes it was an amazing show in an amazing venue!

Bravo!

Ps- dinner at the 16 square metre pub restaurant at the White Lion was also an experience.
