Darlington and Ulan Bator (capital
of Mongolia) don’t have many things in common but a couple are my daughter, who
lives in one and works in the other (a hell of a commute), and the Russian
State Ballet of Siberia who have performed Swan Lake in both, and having seen
it over there my daughter bought us tickets to see it at Darlington Civic
Theatre tonight; this being my first live ballet I am no expert but the
experience was very enjoyable (once I came to terms with the leading men prancing
in white tights) with the sixteen swans being particularly spectacular as they
pirouetted to and fro across the stage as if on castors.
