PRESS REVIEWS
"Yoshida's is a musical, well-mannered reading…Watson moves through it as through a nightmare, gesture urgent, dance vivid, the portrait compelling...We see a masterpiece, disquieting, ever-mysterious." (The Financial Times) "Ashton's genius surfaces in supple arm movements and rippling footwork for his heroine. The petite wide-eyed Miyako Yoshida makes an ideal sprite for those of us who never saw Margot Fonteyn in action...Barry Wordsworth and the ROH Orchestra seem totally committed...and the Opus Arte presentation is as flawless as all its previous Royal Ballet releases. " (BBC Music Magazine ★★★★) Cast Miyako Yoshida (Ondine) Edward Watson (Palemon) Genesia Rosato (Berta) Ricardo Cervera (Tirrenio) The Orchestra of the Royal Opera House; Barry Wordsworth
