Oh man, I was crying with Fumi and Vadim's rehearsal. They're gorgeous! And of course, what a full circle moment having the first Leontes pass on his all his knowledge to a new Leontes! I still remember watching the streaming of Winter's Tale during lockdown with Mr. Watson as Leontes, plus I had the pleasure of seeing Winter's Tale live with The National Ballet of Canada back in 2016.
Happy Birthday Vadim! LOVE the partnership of Fumi and Vadim . She is so delicate, he is always perfection - and they're both so charming and humble. Great to see Ed coaching . There's such a respectful, but warm atmosphere in the RBs coaching sessions.
Really enjoyed the coaching. I’m always impressed by Christopher Saunders’ detailed, respectful coaching which is always delivered with good humour. A joy to witness Ed Watson passing on the torch to Vadim and Fumi. Winter’s Tale is a real gem of a ballet.
I subsequently saw Fumi and Vadim perform this live, and my goodness, they did not disappoint! Absolutely amazing performances from them both. Ed Watson must have been proud.
Can we Royal Opera House please have more videos of Vadim especially in his tenth year. Not all can get to London so streaming is our only opportunity to see this marvellous dancer. Vadim with Marianela too. The Dream Team❤❤
Vadim and Fumi, to die for! thank you for this wonderful introduction to Winter's Tale.

their portrayals are very moving from the start.
Love the winter’s tale ballet - it’s my favourite Shakespeare play and I was thrilled when the royal ballet first performed this back in 2014
