I saw this performance on 7th November
at Sadlers Wells Theatre
This was a cut down performance with only two rather than three pieces. It was aimed at a family audience and children with many explanations before and between performances. The speakers were Mark Baldwin Rambert's Musical Director, composer Julian Anderson and Professor Nicola Clayton a Cambridge University bird expert.
For the ballets themselves Comedy of Change came first. I found this more enjoyable the second time, although I still prefer to have more melody and less ping-plong-plink in music. The second piece, Carnival of the Animals with music by Saint-Saens was superb.
This Insight Matinee was thoroughly enjoyable for this middle-aged adult and I look forward to another one.
