Linda Larson: 'This performance made my day, it was absolutely brilliant. Beautifully staged, magnificent dancing and of course the lush music. It was wonderful. All of the dancers were fantastic, thank you ROH. Normally I would not get to see my favorite ballet company, so this is a real treat'

@Rafaela99: 'Kristen McNally as Carabosse has the best entrance, costume and expression in this ballet! Fumi Kaneko as Aurora is so delicate and precise. And the King looks like Jonathan Ross! It's an enthralling'production.

@StellaToonen: Lovely start to the weekend with the @RoyalOperaHouse ’s recording of @TheRoyalBallet ’s beautiful #SleepingBeauty. Jealous of those unsuspecting audience members, who had no idea they’d soon be deprived of live ballet for over a year, but glad that #OurHouseToYourHouse exists'

@hes153ter: 'The joy of lockdown: ballet on a Friday night'

Georgina Yacobi: 'It was a wonderful production! Even though I have seen "Beauty" so many times throughout my life, I was as enthralled and thrilled as if it were the first time!'

Elizabeth Bartlett: 'Fumi is a lovely princess, beautiful arms and hands, so delicate'
