Extract

‘The Royal Ballet, formerly the Sadler's Wells Theatre Ballet,’ is a mouthful of nomenclature. With the virtual unification, recently announced, of the two component companies of the Royal Ballet, this long-winded title may be expected to pass, unregretted, out of use. Be that as it may, it is the junior company of the Royal Ballet which this title has denoted in these past months and it was, of course, these juniors who—in the transatlantic absence of their seniors—came, about Christmas time, briefly to Covent Garden; it was their first visit and it was adventurous, important (as a signpost to the future) and successful.
