Oh, darlings, the world of ballet is simply fizzing with excitement! The summer season has been a whirlwind of splendid productions, exquisite costumes and mesmerising dancers, leaving us all in awe and longing for more. As we saunter into September, the air crackles with anticipation for the upcoming performances, a veritable smorgasbord of delights for any ballet aficionado. Let’s raise our champagne flutes and delve into the exhilarating world of ballet, shall we?

My love affair with the Royal Opera House continues! This month, the Royal Ballet will be performing "The Sleeping Beauty," a quintessential classic that will transport you to a fairytale world. I predict it will be a sumptuous affair, complete with opulent costumes, stunning sets, and those glorious, romantic pas de deux that simply make my heart flutter. The dancers, especially those radiant prima ballerinas, are on top of their game, their every movement a breath of fresh air. Then, for a stark contrast, "La Bayadere", will leave you gasping for breath. The fiery passion and dramatic storytelling, the opulent, extravagant costumes, the powerful ensemble dances, a magnificent treat, and one I must attend.

While we are on the topic of classics, the English National Ballet will be taking a whimsical journey with "Giselle," the tragic story of a beautiful peasant girl who is betrayed by love. They’ll surely be able to showcase that classic romanticism that the work calls for, with a perfect balance between drama and ethereal grace. However, you need to get your tickets ASAP, my darlings! Tickets tend to vanish like puffs of smoke.

But darling, the highlight of September is "The Dante Project." This is no ordinary production, my darlings, this is an exploration of humanity’s deeper selves, inspired by Dante Alighieri’s epic poem, "The Divine Comedy". It’s daring, innovative, and just a bit subversive. I heard from reliable sources that the sets are spectacularly striking. You’ll find me in the front row, darling, ready to be transported. Just make sure to have a lovely scarf handy - you never know with these "experimental" shows, do you?

London really is overflowing with opportunities to witness ballet in all its glory, my love. And don’t even get me started on the plethora of dance studios offering masterclasses! But alas, my calendar is overflowing already… such a delightful dilemma.

Across the pond, in the heart of Manhattan, the New York City Ballet has a thrilling programme this month. "Swan Lake" is always a treat. The graceful swans and the intriguing drama never fail to hold my attention, my darlings.

And then there’s "The Prodigal Son". Now, this is one I’m dying to see, my darlings! You simply cannot get enough of those stunning neoclassical ballets, with their sharp lines, athletic movements, and modern music, can you? I heard they're planning on putting on quite a show with this one, something truly special! It’s certainly more than a regular run-of-the-mill "ballet," shall we say?

If contemporary dance is more your cup of tea, the American Ballet Theatre has the ever-impressive, thought-provoking “Afterite." A perfect exploration of our modern life with all its challenges. A must-see, in my book. Just imagine all those stunning poses and choreography. It’s truly a feast for the senses, my dears!

Remember, my darlings, that ballet isn’t just about traditional performances. The New York City Centre is hosting "The Fall for Dance Festival," a vibrant mix of modern and contemporary ballet, and you can catch some truly innovative and fascinating pieces there. The energy will leave you electrified! It’s the perfect opportunity for discovering exciting, fresh talent! A chance to experience ballet with a new and edgy perspective! Simply dazzling.

As always, New York City proves that there's never a dull moment. The buzz in the air is so electric - I love it.

Ah, Paris! The city of love, art, and... yes, ballet, of course! The Palais Garnier is home to the exquisite Paris Opera Ballet, who this month are presenting “The Nutcracker,” the magical tale of Clara and her wondrous journey. The charming characters, whimsical choreography, the charming sets, and delightful score… this ballet just oozes pure, unadulterated joy!

And don’t forget "Cinderella." We all know this story, my dears! The elegance, the delicate dancing, the magnificent gowns! I expect pure artistry and theatrical brilliance. Simply a dazzling delight. And you’ll feel like you are transported right to the ball, twirling around with the prince… oh, how I wish! A glass of champagne is practically required to soak up all the romance.

But the highlight of the Paris season has to be the new ballet, "Une Nouvelle Saison." A celebration of talent, passion, and groundbreaking new work from a cast of dazzling up-and-coming dancers. I have a strong feeling this one will become an instant classic! This will be a spectacle, my darlings, a visual and emotional rollercoaster that leaves you breathless! I’ve heard from trusted sources in the ballet world…it is an absolutely magical creation.

Of course, no visit to Paris is complete without a visit to the ballet boutiques, my darlings! And let's not forget to stop by some charming cafes after the performance for some croissants, macarons, and of course, a strong café au lait.

The Bolshoi Theatre in Moscow is home to some of the most incredible ballet companies in the world! You simply must see “Don Quixote," with its energetic, exuberant dances and that iconic diversion, “Kitri and Basil’s Wedding.” The talent, energy, and spirit of Russian ballet, they're really second to none! Just divine.

If contemporary ballet is what you’re after, you will want to catch the Stanislavsky and Nemirovich-Danchenko Moscow Musical Theatre. They will be showcasing "The Mirror of Time" - a showstopping performance where the artistry will leave you speechless! This is the modern world meeting the ballet world, my dears, with themes reflecting the human condition that you're sure to be mesmerised by.

And don’t even get me started on the dancers, my love. Those Russian dancers, their physique is perfection. You can just tell the years of rigorous training. Simply beautiful! But remember to dress comfortably if you're going to see a show at the Bolshoi, my dears. I hear it's rather cold in those theatres.

My darlings, you don’t need to travel far and wide to experience amazing ballet. Across the world, the art of ballet thrives, from intimate theatres to majestic halls! A little bit of exploration, a little bit of curiosity, and you will uncover hidden gems, performances brimming with heart, energy, and dedication.

Take Tokyo for example! You might find an astonishing, breathtaking performance at the Tokyo Ballet Theatre. I am eager to discover their unique take on “Swan Lake.” The creativity and originality of Japanese ballet is breathtaking! They create an art form that's distinctly their own.

The Buenos Aires Ballet in Argentina always delights me! With its unique combination of drama and Latin spirit. This month their production of "Carmen," a flamenco-inspired masterpiece, will transport you to an evening full of passionate dancing and exhilarating music.

So there you have it, my darlings, a glimpse into the magical world of ballet in September! Whether you prefer classic elegance or modern innovation, it's all there! But, one final word of advice: make sure you are prepared for the emotional whirlwind! Be prepared to be transported, amazed, and perhaps even moved to tears, my darlings.

And after all this, a fabulous ballet show in one of those magnificent venues simply wouldn’t be complete without a glass of champagne in your hand and an excellent pair of high heels to complete your glamorous attire.

Enjoy the dance, my darlings!
