Thanks.
One of our DD's BFFs was first artist at BRB and danced with Robert Parker. It was always her dream to dance with Carlos, but the waiting list was too long!! She danced alongside Antonucci in Sleeping Beauty.

I know grin
He was with Dominic Antonucci, his assistant director.
If you look at the BRB website there are clips of him rehearsing the company when he was Ballet Master.

So glad you enjoyed it!
I saw it at the Hippodrome in Birmingham a while back and loved it so much I took eldest GS (the dancer) to it at Sadlers Wells in the summer. A joy from start to finish!
PS Carlos was sitting just 4 rows in front of me this afternoon at Coppélia - be still my beating heart! ?

I went to see this film yesterday evening and it was a brilliant production by the BRB. Well worth seeing if it is on at a cinema near you and you enjoy ballet. During the second interval there was a 15 minute feature with Carlos about the production, the set, the costumes, the lighting etc.
An uplifting performance.
