Two fantastic evenings - I enjoyed Thursday so much (last minute cheap tickets) that we came back again on Saturday, having also bought the CD.
Wonderful to see the whole spectacle from a distance the first time, and again closer up seeing the individual dancers.
I enjoyed seeing the 3 very different pieces, all wonderful in their own way.
Thank you for visiting Norwich. The applause both evenings was very impressive, I think the audience was very appreciative.

This was our first experiance of Rambert and hopefully the first of many. We really enjoyed the evening but our favorite was Eternal Light,it was very moving, a joy to watch and listen to the beautiful music and choir.
WELL DONE!!!

This is the first time in many years that I've enjoyed the Rambert. We bought last minute tickets and thoroughly and unexpectedly enjoyed the programme. Infinity which was just so beautiful and and other-worldly, almost trancelike. Both of us could have stayed with it for longer (fabulous score).
Eternal Light I felt had wonderful moments (I agree that the bird was a bit panto and I had a bit of a Spinal Tap moment when the crucifixes descended!!) The score was rather more captivating than the dance (I was very aware of the dancers dancing to the music, as if they were accompanying it).
I guess I find it a bit disappointing that the audience was perhaps most appreciative of Swansong. I know you have to keep everyone happy somehow.
I would come to see you again as long as you don't do too much crowd pleasing!
Thank you.

As usual it was a mind blowing performance. The highest quality of performance and as always, thought provoking.
I found Eternal Light intensely moving and the music and singing wove seamlessly into the dance.We have bought the CD of the music. A beautiful timeless piece.
Swan song I had seen before but it's impact seemed even greater.
Infinity was totally breathtaking !

A wonderful evening. Eternal light started with too much fuss but gradually the choreography became more in tune with the music. Wonderful singing.
Swan Song was faultless and emotionally powerful. Congratulations to the dancers and all concerned with this wonderful piece.
Infinity was fun, making me think of protons and electrons, quarks and other minutae.
Thank you all for coming to Norwich and please visit again soon.

we loved this ballet- except for the toucan's head, which I see is not in your picture. It hampered the dancer and lookes silly- but it could have been beautiful. We thought Infinity was stunning, original and exciting. And Swansong also was amazing, very moving. we always come to see Rambert, please keep Norwich on your list. Hilary and Lewis Davies

Thank you very very much for Thursday evening. I didn\'t know Rambert Dance Company before, but I found it brilliant. It was absolutely stunning!! I loved Swansong and the music and imagery worked well together.
All the dancers were amazing !
Hope to see you again.

I thought that Infinity was one of the best creative performances that I have seen for several years. It was hypnotic and breathtaking. I was disappointed to see that the theatre was not full for this as it unliklely that the audience will see anything as magnificent as this for several years
Please don't compromise your integrity just because some of the audience don't 'get it'.
Sadly Eternal Light did not match this brilliance - it felt rather cliched - both the music and the imagery.
Sorry, no more posts can be added.
