Comments from a parent and others who saw “Spirit of Cornwall” 2005

“We have seen the performance tonight and thought it was absolutely outstanding. Everyone I have spoken to has been impressed by the professionalism of the entire production. …….From a parent’s point of view it is so special to see our children on the stage and with such confidence and enjoyment.”

“Neither myself nor my wife have ever been to a live performance of a Ballet, but we were absolutely enthralled not only by the principal performers, but by the ability and enthusiasm of all the youngsters who took part. “

“I saw (Duchy Ballet) last year for the first time in Swan Lake, so definitely wanted to see them again this year. I took my grand-daughter (now 6years) and grandson who is 8 years and who had never seen a ballet before. We were entranced by all performances, but for my grandchildren, The Mousehole Cat” won the vote.

I can’t believe I’ve taken so long to discover an annual event that’s definitely not to be missed. Congratulations and a big thank-you to you all.”

“This is to say how impressed I was with Duchy Ballet ‘s production this year. …..To have two premieres in addition to The Mousehole Cat was a great achievement. I thought the Tristan in particular was superb and the Cat even better than last time.”

“with some trepidation I set off on Friday morning to take three toddlers to see the short performance of The Mousehole Cat. As we entered the Hall they were in awe and excitement could be heard buzzing around as we took our seats.

Well, we were not disappointed . To watch, not only three toddlers but also the rest of the Hall ,mesmerised was a picture well worth painting.

The dancing was superb, so polished, the costumes were stunning….The performance was something we talked about for days and acted out at home. Can’t wait to bring them again.

A thoroughly professional performance and performed so well and with so much enthusiasm by even the tiniest ones in the cast as well.”
