Tutu and Ballet News

Darling, get your tickets!

The most exquisitely flamboyant, outrageously dazzling and utterly spectacular ballet spectacle of the season, "Tutus of Fury," is strutting its way into Hindley next week and my darling, it is a MUST-SEE!

This isn't just any run-of-the-mill ballet, dear. This is the kind of dance performance that makes you want to throw your diamanté-encrusted handbag into the air and scream "BRAVO!" until your voice gives out, and trust me, darlings, mine has! I simply couldn't contain my excitement. The sheer exuberance of "Tutus of Fury" sent a shiver down my spine. It's a heady mix of dazzling costumes, electrifying performances, and heart-stopping choreography, all set against the most gorgeous backdrop you could ever imagine. My dear, the whole experience is just divine, a complete and utter immersion in sheer theatrical magic!

And the Tutus! Oh my darling, the TUTUS! My soul has never experienced such sheer sartorial splendor. Each tutu is an individual work of art, bursting with color and movement, reflecting the dancers' moods like a kaleidoscope reflecting the light of a million suns! A true visual feast.

Now, let me tell you a little bit about the story of "Tutus of Fury." It's set in a fantastical, glamorous world, filled with mischievous fairies, valiant knights, and of course, the legendary "Tutu of Fury" itself! It tells the tale of Princess Penelope, a delicate creature trapped in a gilded cage, who yearns for adventure. A daring young knight comes to her rescue, challenging the very fabric of the established order and fighting with a magnificent bravery for love. It's all rather charmingly cliché, wouldn't you say? But of course, that is what we adore about this charming spectacle!

But here is the secret darling. This is no ordinary fairy tale, no predictable ballet performance that only delights with its dance prowess! "Tutus of Fury" pushes the boundaries of theatrical expression to the limits! There's a little bit of something for everyone! Imagine! Twirling fairies who are as graceful as willow branches, swashbuckling knights with dazzling swords, and a tutu, my dear, so sparkly, it practically shines as bright as the sun! This spectacle promises a feast of imagination for all ages, but be warned! You won’t want this enchanting evening to end!

You see, "Tutus of Fury" is an event like no other, dear. It's a chance to immerse yourself in a world of fantasy, spectacle, and utter escapism. This is an occasion to let go of your troubles and indulge in the sheer delight of a show with heart, soul, and above all, impeccable taste. Imagine this: you're comfortably seated in the theater, the lights dim, and the first strains of the orchestra fill the air. You see a dancer come forth, she looks absolutely spectacular. But hold on. A rogue diamond on her dress catches the light. It shines, bright as a thousand stars and the audience, dear, just loses its mind!

Now, dear, I can hear you ask "Is this an expensive experience?" But fret not my lovely! "Tutus of Fury" is not reserved for the "Who's Who" of the elite art world. This dazzling production wants EVERYONE to experience its pure joy and flamboyant artistry! Tickets are available for every budget and I am quite sure there are special offers just waiting for you. But do act fast, dear! Those fabulous tickets are selling like hotcakes and who wants to be left outside when the music starts to play, hmm?

Here's my little suggestion, my dear: Make a night of it! Invite your besties, and come dressed in your most flamboyant attire, dear! The bolder the better, the more spectacular the better! Think: shimmery sequins, bejeweled clutches, feathered hats and towering stilettos, you know, the full dramatic show stopping affair! If it isn’t dramatic darling, it’s not worth doing! Let's show them, those darling little provincial types from Hindley, what the true meaning of flamboyant fashion is. They might learn something about the meaning of life along the way! Or if that doesn't suit your fancy, come wearing something more restrained, and let the performances wash over you in waves of splendor and brilliance!

I must confess to you, darlings, I have no shame in declaring that I cannot wait to experience "Tutus of Fury" again! And yes, I will be seeing this enchanting ballet more than once! Because "Tutus of Fury," my loves, is more than just a performance, it's an experience, a life-affirming experience, an epitome of breathtaking spectacle, a chance to lose yourself in a beautiful world of color and movement. Don't miss your opportunity! Treat yourself, your friends and even your grandma to "Tutus of Fury" and prepare to be enchanted. And remember, dear, always make sure your purse is encrusted with a few extra diamonds, darling! You never know when you might need to throw it in the air and shout, "BRAVO!"

So, now, let me tell you about the main event itself. Just how are "Tutus of Fury" dancers prepared for their upcoming performance in Hindley? I asked one of the production's team backstage, "Are your performers adequately prepared for this spectacle?"

The production manager replied, “Of course! Every detail is in order! They will look and dance impeccably, darling!” I continued: “Yes, but tell me darling, do they understand the meaning of a magnificent ensemble performance? And how will they work towards bringing this production, to Hindley and their local audience?"

" Well, darling, for starters we had a special "tutu fitting" session,” he continued in his rather dry manner. "We had each performer wear each tutu in their various shades of shimmering splendor. I mean the costumes really are remarkable!" He beamed a bit.

And oh my heavens did the dancers take a look. One was covered in sequins and shimmered like the morning sun. Another featured feathers like that of a fabulous exotic bird, its fluffy fullness covering its entire body. A third had the perfect cut of classic tulle with a burst of dramatic ruby red! All beautifully handcrafted by the designer and then worn by these incredible dancers!

But darling, the really important thing is the dancers' rehearsal preparation! We had several dance classes a day with our fantastic choreographer," he told me in between puffs on his cigarette.

The rehearsal classes started early, darling, in the mornings before the day began. The company has several dancers with excellent backgrounds, of course, but the rehearsals were to iron out all the technical aspects of the "Tutus of Fury" ballet so the choreography could truly come alive for the show!

The classes really tested each performer, my darling, each performer. And they all put their absolute everything into it, because "Tutus of Fury" is much more than an evening's entertainment for our Hindley audiences! "Tutus of Fury" is a performance experience that can truly change your entire perception of art! It’s truly that captivating and powerful!" the production manager said.

But enough with these dull technical details, dear! It’s time for a little "Behind the Scenes" scoop! The dancers themselves told me they love this incredible story of Princess Penelope's love for a knight! But as I continued speaking with the dancers, there were several behind the scenes scoops I found just as intriguing!

And of course, darling, I was quite shocked to find that our “knights" are all quite delightful men with an artistic bent!

"Yes, we love our beautiful "tutus," our stunning outfits, the gorgeous settings, our stunning choreography," explained our main Knight Dancer, “and above all, the chance to share a performance that inspires others through its beautiful story!" His tone was utterly captivating, like a poem set to dance and the lovely young man could really dance. It really is quite moving.

You see dear, our lovely knight was really thrilled to be part of this incredible team and really emphasized just how much hard work goes into a beautiful production such as "Tutus of Fury." They must have their warm up rituals! Each one a testament to their sheer determination! And I know exactly what you are thinking, darling, do they take inspiration from other ballet productions, from other performances that have enchanted us all?

The Knight Dancer beamed. "Well, of course, we always consider the best in ballet. You see, we must stay relevant, in order to really impress you! “ That's one of the most important aspects of being a truly phenomenal ballet performer! We constantly have to keep updating ourselves, improving on our techniques and performances! It's really tough and exhausting, darling. We always strive for excellence and have to consider new trends! So yes, we love "Swan Lake," and "La Bayadùre" but we have to make sure we maintain our own uniqueness! What "Tutus of Fury" can do that really sets itself apart is tell a story with genuine human emotions that can transcend to audiences in Hindley."

“But it is truly exhilarating darling, a ballet production like this really brings it all together. "Tutus of Fury," truly, is more than a performance darling! It is an unforgettable experience!

I had the opportunity to meet our wonderful lead, Penelope herself, she’s truly wonderful and a total diva in every sense of the word. Of course darling, she is also breathtakingly beautiful! The minute she stepped out on the stage during our backstage tour of the performance rehearsals it was if she truly commanded a whole audience with nothing but her gaze!

"But enough about us! This show, "Tutus of Fury," darling, will surely win you over! We are here to make magic!" And she smiled at me. Of course she told me about how wonderful our choreographer is. And the truly important part is how our dancers were fully committed to telling this lovely story in a truly entertaining way that will touch the heart. She explained to me in a truly enthralling way how much work had been put into the rehearsal process!

The dancers worked together, creating a truly wonderful performance that reflects the essence of this ballet! “Tutus of Fury," is truly something to be proud of and she even allowed me to share her dressing room! It really is a spectacle you simply cannot miss!"

It’s going to be sensational darling. A must-see spectacle! And for a grand finale darling? Oh, dear, just the perfect finale with some exquisite musical performance to complete this stunning performance.
