Anyway I'm looking forward to seeing these Mercutios as much as the star-crossed lovers. I think it's a bit of a shame that the RB couldn't find anyone suitable in the company to partner Tamara, but I like Murru's dancing so I'm still looking forward to that one.<P>I can't wait! Which cast are you most looking forward to? All 5 casts should be fantastic.<p>[This message has been edited by sylvia (edited April 17, 2002).]

Very nice! Thank you, Sylvia.

I like the last one especially! The idea of five different casts - Fonteyn & Nureyev, Seymour & Gable, Dowell & Sibley etc etc doing that half-moon lift all in a row makes me smile and smile.

Yes, it's a lovely page and hats off to the Royal Ballet website people for this imaginative feature.
