It was the 2008 synchronised drummers with integral light show that left me gasping.
But we'd just seen the acrobatic 'Swan Lake' in Manchester - awesome!
Tchaikovsky's music, recorded but not mangled, with ballet, acrobatics, juggling, clowning, magic......
Think Cirque du Soleil meets Kirov ballet, meets Buzby Berkely meets pantomime, meets Tiller girls en pointe, meets Carnival.......... really!
