There will be no review tonight.  It should have been the Royal Ballet's Ashton Triple Bill, and the last performance of Zenaida Yanowsky with that company.  Unfortunately the satellite transmitter at my chosen cinema malfunctioned tonight.  It has done so before, but this time, they kept trying right up till 19:29 before letting us know the show wasn't happening, which completely scuppered any chance of getting to another cinema in time.  They should have told us at 19:15, which is what happened last time.  I know, I could still have gone to another cinema and missed the first 15 minutes or so, but I would just have sat there stewing, not a good frame of mind to be in to enjoy the performance.  So there it is.  Adieu Zenaida Yanowsky, you have been a great pleasure to watch over the years.
