Evening Press Reader's Letter

Can I congratulate the company of the St Petersburg Ballet for a truly outstanding performance of Swan Lake at the Grand Opera House.

My wife and I were absolutely amazed at the professionalism of this young and vibrant company which is drawn from the graduates of leading Russian ballet companies.

The sets and costumes were truly amazing as was the dancing of Irina Kolesnikova, Yurig Glyukikh and jester Dimitri Chertsov.

The orchestra was absolutely first class.

I have seen many ballets but this one truly outranks any other. I look forward to their return.
