Was there any mention of the provenance of the piano piece? I presume that it was not improvised when the dance was filmed.With many in the UK stilll under lockdown and television almost the only visual means of enjoying culture, The Roya Opera House sent me an e-mail announcing a performance of "Romeo & Juliet" (the ballet). Almost hidden away in the e-mail was this from Instagram:
With no access to the rehearsal rooms, the artists of the ROH have been forced to improvise and use any space available, in this case, the artist's garden. I thought that some here who are interested in the arts, would enjoy seeing this beautiful solo performance. I only lasts three minutes. I sent it to a friend of mine in Greece and it made her cry!
