Final rehearsals of English National Ballet's new production - The Snow Queen
The Snow Queen
English National Ballet is now just days away from the premiere of Michael Corder's The Snow Queen. We have completed well over three hundred hours of rehearsals and the choreography is finally complete. The next giant step will be when the company heads up north to Liverpool and we put on the costumes and see the sets for the first time.
It's been incredibly hard work for all involved. This is my third new production of Michael Corder's that I have been involved in, and like the previous two,Cinderella and Melody on the Move, there is lots and lots of dancing for the whole company.
Saturday was the first time that the dancers ran the whole ballet from beginning to end and the athmosphere in the studio was electric. Daria Klimentova, Fernanda Oliveira and Yosvani Ramos lead the cast as The Snow Queen, Kay and Gerda. All three of them seem to be on fire in the studio as they are pushed to the edge in what is looking like a wonderful ballet for the company.
