#AlinaCojocaru as Manon was wonderful as always and as never before: her debut in #ENBManon showed details and approaches completely new. Maybe her experience as Marguerite changed her… https://t.co/zQ67TqZuQ4

I decided against the bottle of wine during #ENBManon but I definitely need one after. Tears rolling down my face as @DancingAlina & @joe_caley22 danced that final pas de deux. This ballet is everything.

Still thinking about the incredible @ErinaTakahashi_ & @jeffreycirio in @ENBallet Manon last night – so much emotion, passion & incredible dancing with Massenet's beautiful music played superbly by the ENB Philharmonic under the baton of the maestro @sutherlandgavin #bestballet
