She really is the most exquisite being and her dancing was so beautiful too.

Who is her partner (the fool) in this and was the ballet 'The Lady and the Fool'?

Hi Nick,

Well, now I've seen all 7 and what a wonderful series this has been and I can't thank you enough.

The very end was so, so sad and even though he preferred classical ballet (like me), I always got the impression that he would try anything once particularly with his sister.

Ballet and his ...

I agree, the DVD of 'Ballet Russes' was superb and I got it because I enjoyed it so very much in the cinema. The cinema was absolutely packed - probably with a great many people who danced for Diaghilev or remember those days. Lucky them!!

Hi Nick,

Sorry, but I meant to ask in No. 3 - were the dancers in 'Sylphides' Fonteyn/Nureyev and were they with the R.B.?

Hello Nick,

I hope you had a lovely Christmas and that you have a marvellous 2012.

Many thanks for this. It was lovely to see anything about Diaghilev again. I can't wait to see Nos. 1 & 3.
