#ROHViscera was a delight, especially Stock and @nehemiah_kish pd2.

Loved the smouldering, sultry yet elegant pd2 partnership of @nehemiah_kish & Leti Stock in #rohViscera tonight

Also it had an air similar to Balanchine's 4 Temps, so if you are a fan it is a must see #rohviscera

Of course I would love the one ballet tonight with music by Debussy. #ROHfaun

#ROHfaun was beautiful, both the Royal Opera House Orchestra's music and Sarah Lamb and @VMuntagirov's dancing gave me goosebumps

Jerome Robbins's Afternoon of a Faun with #SarahLamb and #VadimMuntagirov ... staggering beautiful. #roar #bravo @TheRoyalBallet

Tchaikovsky pas de deux was completely delightful. Just what I need to lift my spirits after a hard weekend of night shifts. #ROHCarmenMixed

My hands are red, hot and burning from clapping but @_stevenmcrae & @ianasalenko were perfection in #ROHtchaikovsky pic.twitter.com/rvBixBC3KB

.@ianasalenko & @_stevenmcrae's performance of Tchaikovsky pas de deux by far best thing tonight @RoyalOperaHouse https://t.co/9nBXuOxiPe — Tamara Stein Soprano (@TamaraStein) October 26, 2015
Some outstanding moments in #ROHcarmenballet but also some aspects that didn't work for me and felt passé. Mixed feelings #ROHcarmenmixed

Marianela a terrific Carmen: fiery, sultry, tender... @MNunezOfficial #ROHcarmenballet

If you are going to make a new Carmen it has to be special in every way - #ROHCarmenballet just too hit-and-miss
