Dancer Zenaida Yanowsky is the first photo I’ve seen which shows the feet and vague heads of Pegasus on stage at the Coliseum. It’s not our finest publicity shot, but I think I can work out which is me! It is a funky effect having us there: we can’t see it, of course.
There are some others of the dress rehearsal in the photo stream.
We come out of it pretty well. The reviewer is not a fan of most of the rest of the show, though.
The audience reaction felt very different from the stage side, IMHO.
Amazing how a show comes together when you have to perform to a few thousand people.
Very much enjoyed the first night of Pegasus as a part of Carlos Acosta premieres. The audience reaction suggested they did too.
Now I know that Carlos and Zen will continue to produce the goods; there were some magical moments. Up to us to delight the audience each night too.
What a ride.
Not bad going: left Hong Kong at midnight and back home at six thirty in the morning. A good seven hours’ sleep on the plane and now for a brief snooze before rehearsals and first performance of the Carlos Acosta premieres. A long and busy day ahead.
Lovely stick man revenge fantasy.

ListenToYouTube.com does what it says on the tin: allows you to extract the sound from a YouTube video as an mp3. Very useful indeed.
I like Sholto’s idea of bringing people together around a song in How do you create a “big society”?. He’s also spot on about singing being egalitarian. I also enjoy meeting people from random backgrounds: there is no required route through school and university to be a good singer.
I wonder if the Estonian experience has any lessons for us: just imagine 25,000 massed voices!
Looking forward to seeing what Pegasus is going to be doing with him.
