Reydell and Swan Lake look like they haven't fared so well. They haven't gotten any rain down there.

The rain was another step in the recovery, but it all depends on what happens over the next three or four months. We'll need more of a moderate rain over a long period of time to really help.

I have had so many great moments, but I would have to say that dancing the Swan in 'Swan Lake' was such a unique and passionate experience for me. It was such bloody hard work, even at that very early age, that I would not want to try to replicate it again now.

[Even the warhorses have been exercised. Five years ago, McKenzie came out with a new staging of Swan Lake that] whipped the audience at the Metropolitan Opera House into a frenzied ovation, ... a ballet for both the tired critic and the tired businessman.

You cannot dance an arabesque in 'Swan Lake' and 'Nutcracker' the same way.

It's got the best bridge on the album. If there's any bridge connoisseurs out there, it's got a good bridge.
