Dancers from the Royal Ballet talk about the tutu

[kkiimmiissiipp]

it's so unfortunate, that they used a clip by the ABT and not from the Royal Ballet's performance of Swan Lake.

@kkiimmiissiipp true but the corps for the royal ballet swan lake wear long romantic style tutus not the pancake/platter ones that they are showing here....

[kkiimmiissiipp]

@emmsteemmastewart yeah i know right, royal's tutus for swan lake are more of bourne's swan lake tutus. and the backdrop is not that. in royal ballet's production, the lake is pitch black. but among all production, the swan lake by the royal ballet is for me, the best.

VERY interesting and also fantastic.

Does anyone know where I can get a no longer used tutu from the Royal or from the Paris Opera?

Thank you.

@fishyfish4444Email Royal Opera House Ballet Wardrobe Head & ask if they are still having 'attic clearance sales'. They certainly used to. In this economic climate they might constantly recycle. Good hunting.
