A prince at odds with his destiny 💔

In this solo from Act I of Swan Lake, Prince Siegfried dances with quiet melancholy.

Set to Tchaikovsky’s hauntingly beautiful score, each step reflects the burden of his royal duties and the ache for freedom.

Enjoy this sorrowful showstopper from one of ballet’s most heartbreaking tales, performed by @vadimmuntagirovofficial.

Her very first pair 🩰

In this episode of What’s the Pointe, we follow a young dancer’s journey to her first pair of pointe shoes.

It is a milestone filled with excitement, nerves and pride ✨

From the precision of the fitting to those first careful steps, this is a rite of passage every ballerina remembers.

Slow, sustained grace ✨

Adage refers to the long, held movements in ballet that test a dancer’s control, balance and poise. These phrases often include graceful balances, unfolding extensions and soft, seamless port de bras.

Though physically demanding, adage is crafted to look effortless - a quiet showcase of strength at the heart of classical technique.

Handmade, from start to finish 🧵🩰

In the latest episode of What’s the Pointe, we look at how every pointe shoe is made by hand — from the first stitch in the factory to the final custom touches sewn by the dancer herself.

Built to perfectly match the foot, the role and the demands of the stage, no two pairs are exactly the same.

Light, pure and ethereal 🎶

A countertenor sings above the typical male range, often matching that of a mezzo-soprano or contralto.

Known for their clarity and agility, their sound is especially associated with the vocal style of Baroque opera.

Have you heard a countertenor live?

Itterasshai – the Japanese expression for ‘bon voyage’.

On the eve of National Ballet of Japan’s departure for London, a lovely well-wish message comes from The Royal Ballet principal dancer Akane Takada who performed as a guest artist with the National Ballet of Japan in June in Christopher Wheeldon’s Alice’s Adventure in Wonderland. You are a very special friend Akane! 🫶 See you very soon.

The Royal Ballet on tour ✈️✨

This month, The Royal Ballet took to international stages from Genoa to Seoul, sharing a wide-ranging repertoire with audiences across two continents.

At the Nervi International Ballet Festival @festival_nervi, the Company celebrated Frederick Ashton’s choreography in the historic open-air setting of Genoa’s Parks of Nervi and the Theatre Carlo Felice.

Earlier in the month, The Royal Ballet also returned to South Korea for the first time in 20 years, performing in Seoul with a varied programme of classical and contemporary works.

Today on 5 O’ Clock Apron Podcast I’m cooking with principal ballerina @yasmine_naghdi from @royalballetandopera in London’s Covent Garden. I’ve never met, or indeed cooked with a ballerina before, so cooking with Yasmine for this episode was a complete delight. A brilliant cook & meticulously organised, it was fascinating experience for me to cook this dish with Yasmine for the podcast, and in it I learn a new way to cook one of my favourite dishes, the double soffritto is a game-changer. And yes please, an opera singer for the next series would be wonderful.

To cook Yasmine’s recipe, you will need;

1 packet of linguine pasta
1 kg fresh clams
6 cloves garlic
Big bunch of parsley
350ml dry white wine
Dried chilli flakes, to taste
Salt and pepper
Good olive oil, enough!

For the full recipe, you’ll have to head to www.5oclockapron.com/podcast & click on Ballerina Yasmine Naghdi cooks Linguine alle Vongole because the method is too long to squeeze into this post.

You can also listen & watch the YouTube of the recording on my website, or wherever you listen to your podcasts, Spotify for example. Please like & subscribe, I have big plans for this project & would like to cook & record with many more people 🌍

Promises, beautifully made ✨

Enjoy @mrbenbliss singing one of Handel’s most famous arias, “Where’er you walk”, in the role of Jupiter from Semele.

With every word, Jupiter draws Semele further into a life of luxury and desire. But beneath the surface, danger awaits.

🎟️ See Semele on our Main Stage until 18 July.
