Some of the dancers at the ballet were annoyed, others were more inclined simply to roll their eyes.īut as I got to know the stars of the Royal Ballet – Marcelino Sambé ( pictured above), Vadim Muntagirov and Matthew Ball ( pictured below) among others – it made me sad to learn that several of them had experienced some kind of discrimination due to their choice of career. I couldn’t decide if I was more surprised in the modern age that she had made such a faux pas or that there should be such anger as a result of it. I was perhaps the only benefitciary of this unfortunate incident since Lara had unwittingly put a thorny issue back on the agenda: the stigma of men who choose what can be seen as a woman’s discipline. A few days later, after a huge social media outcry and a demonstration by hundreds of male dancers in New York’s Times Square, she made a grovelling apology live on air.

Just before I started filming at the ballet an American TV news presenter, Lara Spencer, had made a joke about Prince George enjoying ballet at his school. “You’re going to ask the questions that the ordinary man in the street would ask!” “Exactly,” she said with a triumphant smile. “But I don’t know anything about ballet!” I exclaimed. Two months earlier I had been in a meeting with the arts commissioner at the BBC. Anyone who knows anything about ballet would appreciate instantly what this footwear is. As soon as the doors opened they’d troop in chatting about bruises and sprains and always adorned in very large slippers that looked rather like sleeping bags for the feet. So, the only time I’d got to see them was in the lift where they were rushing either from or to a rehearsal and I was making my way either from or to the admin offices. The dancers' natural habitat was floors two and six (dressing rooms and studios). My temporary home, the administrative section of the organisation, is on the third floor of the Opera House. “Matthew Ball is about to go to New York to star in Matthew Bourne’s Swan Lake!” “Vadim Muntagirov is just back from Paris, he’ll be in rehearsing for Sleeping Beauty soon.”

During this time my guide would feed me daily titbits of tantalising information about the young men I hoped one day to meet. I had been at The Royal Ballet for over a week making a documentary for BBC Four about a golden generation of male stars but as yet had not met any dancers.Īccess documentaries to institutions such as this take months of negotiation and it’s not uncommon for the start of filming to be delayed.
