I wish the screenings were playing in the US so badly! Matthew Ball and Yasmine Naghdi are one of my fav duos and to see them on the big screen would truly be transcendent 🥺

[@NoewerrATall]

Yes, please!

[@fredericolourenco1972]

Thank you for cherishing Liam's memory.

[@PaigeNewberry]

I’ve studied a lot of different ballet schools, a lot of different ballet companies, and I’ve watched the quality of the emotionality, the choreography. I have to say beyond a shadow of a doubt… The Royal Ballet is my favorite company in the world, both in their technicality, and in the emotional expression that they exude on stage. It’s far better than anything in the United States, and I would dare to say you all illicit more emotion in me than anything that’s produce in Eastern European countries. Bravo, Royal ballet Company! Thank you!

[@mariewalmsley1187]

I love Liam’s production more than any I have seen and I am so glad that he has these wonderful guardians of his work! ❤

[@beentheresawthat3982]

"they`re almost two trapped souls in two very different ways" a great point about Prince and Odette`s similarity

[@elodiebx]

I hope they release Yasmine’s Swan Lake Performance on the Royal Opera House Stream Service !!

[@mikey_m114]

Me, too! :D

[@christineryman579]

Absolutely mindblowing, saw it last night, thankyou all you athletes of perfection xx what a privilege to be part of the audience xx

[@2gther4ever]

I flew in from the Middle East for 6 April performance with Marianela and Vadim, outstanding

[@gonefishing167]

So wonderful, thank you so much. Ooh, there’s one for the making of the tutu’s, must watch that next. It all looks marvellous 🙏🙏🙏🙏🩰🩰🩰👵🇦🇺

[@JillStanley-wx6kl]

I love Liam's choreography. His passionate spirit will live on in every performance. I'd be interested to know who the other three guardians of his work are.

[@hayeonkim7838]

Thanks for meaningful and valuable activities as always 🤍🤍🤍

[@donaldfinch1411]

Blessings and Peace to Liam.

[@diekje8728]

Laura has starred in so many of Liam’s productions. I’m so happy that she carries on his legacy. She is absolutely the right person to do so

[@mattroberts6484]

Saw this Sunday totally loved it it was brilliant something I'll never forget well done all x

[@msbeejones]

hearing them talk about liam scarlett is so moving. 🥺

[@pheart2381]

Nice tribute to Liam,bless him.

[@VirginiaOThomas]

What happened to him?

[@AmbarD.P.D.]

​​@@VirginiaOThomas he died in 2021

[@mirandayoung2130]

He committed suicide when all his ballets were pulled from all the big companies starting with the Royal Ballet.

[@graceyamaguchi75]

gorgeous ❤

[@elainecox7058]

LOVE Swan Lake. Coming to see it again on 9 May. ❤

[@PeggyHimbauch-ut7xy]

Thank you very much.

[@eurekamreum5458]

I absolutely love Yasmine and Matthew's partnership, they're exquisite. I know pairing him with Mayara seems like a no-brainer now but these two grew up together and have a very special chemistry, it's amazing to watch.

[@carolchisholm5716]

Trying to find it playing here in Ontario too but no luck. Please let us see it too. Love the Royal Ballet. When I was growing up in Scotland it was of course Sadlers Wells Ballet. I was born I Dunfermline as was Moira Shearer and Kenneth MacMillan.

[@Carnationblue77]

Rest in peace Liam ❤

[@AmbarD.P.D.]

Please Royal Opera house, broadcast it in theaters/cinemas in Paraguay too. Latin America is not just up to Brazil, Chile or Argentina 😭💔🙏🏻

[@eurekamreum5458]

The last time they broadcasted it in Mexico was 2018-2019! I've been patiently waiting ever since lol

[@astire007]

Yasmine is esqisit and her and Matthew are wonderful partners 😊

[@Swan-world1010]

❤❤❤❤

[@llamalover02]

Where did the lovely swan headdresses go??

[@sylviaperich970]

I don’t think anyone is in full costume for this video. I think it’s just the bits the dancers need. And I imagine those headpieces are fragile, so it wouldn’t surprise me if they’re not worn until the final dress rehearsal.

[@Celsaid]

Me gustaría que pudieras tener la opción de poder verlo desde casa pagando como durante la pandemia

[@dancingdani25]

Unrelated to this video, but why do we rarely ever see Akane in RB videos anymore?

[@pekieboo]

As far as I know, Akane has been injured and in recovery since last year.

[@dancingdani25]

@@pekieboo oh okay. Thank you!

[@pekieboo]

@@dancingdani25 You're welcome! Akane has many fans looking forward to her return to form.

[@lauracolicchio9262]

Is it possible to study with one of your dance teacher?

[@photographedemode]

Rest in Peace Liam, you won't be forgotten. Cancel culture killed you but your memory and contribution to Ballet stays forever.

[@lesleypatriciajordison4890]

Beautiful ballet - wonderful choreography. Such a shame about Liam!

[@VirginiaOThomas]

What? Did Liam the choreographer died? 😢

[@xMia311]

He passed a few years ago, in 2021.

[@bobbinsew]

He was accused of and ultimately cleared of misconduct but as per usual the truth didn’t matter. He died.

[@davidclague8359]

Ironic that the Royal Ballet dancers are honoring Liam after the Royal Ballet company basically drove him to suicide.
