Ya’ll coming out with the big guns on opening night @TheRoyalBallet Wasn’t expecting an Osi/Marci energy boost!! What a dream to see them & obv Within the Golden Hour was so beautiful. So we’ll rehearsed and the cast were beautiful plus Ezio Bosso’s music is 👌#RoyalOperaHouse

Joy/excitement was mutual between performers and audience. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
The pre-show standing ovation for the ROH orchestra and @TheRoyalBallet said it all: people were literally screaming with happiness to finally see a #liveperformance again 🤩🎶🩰#ballet

The pre-show standing ovation nearly finished me off before we even got started! ✨✨🩰🎭✨✨
Beautiful, brilliant choreography from Christopher Wheeldon in Within the Golden Hour and exhilarating, incredible work from Crystal Pite. Great reopening performance from the Royal Ballet @RoyalOperaHouse. Fantastic to be watching live performance again at last! pic.twitter.com/euDcjVlSZU

How wonderful @RoyalOperaHouse tonight - the house lights went to half and the applause started and grew, feet were stomped and then a standing ovation. Everyone so full of joy to just be here. 🥲
